"Rallying for Victory" Tour to Bring Tea Party Issues to the Fore
Jacksonville, FL – Tea Party Express, the nation’s largest tea party political action committee, is excited to announce the launch of its “Rallying for Victory” bus tour through Florida. The tour will start this Saturday, January 28th and will make six stops up and down the Sunshine State.
Amy Kremer, Chairman of the Tea Party Express, said, “The Tea Party Express is here rallying for victory against the policies of Barack Obama and the Harry Reid-led Senate. The current Administration has showed zero leadership and interest in listening to the voice of the American people. Our ‘Rallying for Victory’ tour through Florida will be an exhibition of the Tea Party’s strength and determination in pursuing and promoting Tea Party values.
“Florida is a key state in the presidential election campaign and one in which the future direction of the country could be determined. This will be the place to reject the Obama policies of promoting his big government, liberal policies that have killed job growth and added trillions of dollars of debt. It is critical to have an energized and engaged Tea Party electorate, just like we saw in 2010 as the Tea Party movement elected more Republican state legislators since 1928 and more Republican congressional representatives since 1948.
“Our ‘Rallying for Victory’ bus tour will bring together local and national Tea Party activist to raise awareness of the Tea Party movement and the conservative principles that will put this nation back on the path to prosperity. It is an opportunity to inform the American people that there is a free-market solution to get the economy on the right track and that the president’s actions have not accomplished what he has promised,” Kremer concluded.
The Tea Party Express plans to make stops in Jacksonville, Winter Park, West Palm Beach, The Villages, Gainesville, Panama City and Pensacola. The Tea Party Express will be joined by conservative leaders from across the country and will provide a platform for Presidential candidates to present their Tea Party qualifications. The organization is directing the public to its website (www.TeaPartyExpress.org) for the details of the stops.
Anything coming up for Tampa/St. Pete, The Villages, Orlando, or elsewhere in Central Fla?
Tea Party Express is not TEA party.
It’s a commercial endeavor that it fully controlled by its owners.
“My same thoughts. Parading a principal without a candidate champion is stupid.”
Stupid.. useless, waste of time.
If the Fla. Tea Party can’t take a stand and support Newt, then they might as well sit at home on the couch with Paul and Santorum to watch Mittens victory speech on TV..
You must watch it if you can. Mr. Newt has the vision this country needs right now, along with the drive and know-how to make it happen. Mr. Newt needs Sarah's energy and following to emphasize his finest qualities after the barrage of negative attacks from the ROMNEY machine. We can only hope that the smolders of patriotism begin the burn strong with the will of WE THE PEOPLE.
Now is the time for Mr. Newt to create the distinct differences with Mr. O. To hell with Romney, he is small change, what we will all have left if he is our nominee. It is time to channel all that energy and knowledge against the real opponent. Romney's entire campaign is built on a house of cards, which will crumble after his loss in Florida. By the way, have you noticed just how many losers are on Romney's side? McLame, Dole, DeLay, Christy, Coulter, etc. etc. etc.
Once the NEWTwave begins, and the support of the Tea Party becomes more evident, you will not be able to stop it, it will grow one state at a time, like a slow boiling stream of hot lava. I believe our party needs to be cleansed of the moderates in DC. WE THE PEOPLE must stand and fight, with all we have in us. You protect you home with every manner possible. America is our home, and the republican establishment has been in control too long and are ruining our America.
WE THE PEOPLE will not settle this time. Mr. Newt will carry the Reagan banner into the 21st Century, and WE THE PEOPLE will help him. GOD BLESS YOU ALL here at FreeRepublic. It's up to you Florida, God Speed!
Newt is supposed to be at the Winter Park stop:

Bump!
It's worse than a waste of time: It has given CNN and Fox an opening to claim that Romney is supported by the Tea Party. Another freeper posted today that this is happening. Tea Party Express money and effort are being used by the media for a non-Tea Party candidate. What is wrong with them? Can't we barage them with criticism on this?
I wrote to them at their website and ripped ‘em.
CNN(I know, but I’m on a FAUX fast) said they were going to broadcast some of the Newt rally and never did. Typical!
Good.
Went to a Newt rally in The Villages yesterday (tpx didn't have a rally there, it had to be canceled), estimates 8,000. Very enthusiastic crowds encouraging Newt!
My computers are on the fritz, 2nd one went down just before I left.
The Tea Party Movement is alive and well!
