There a lot more places they could go.
I believe the route was constructed so as to hit as many vulnerable democrat officeholders as possible to expose them to the voters in the area.
And where ever possible, support a conservative candidate at the same time.

hope Pat Toomey can replace Specter and provide Pennsylvanians with principled, fiscally responsible representation

In order for the Tea Party movement to truly have an impact, we must vote out of office those politicians who have betrayed their constituents by pushing through massive deficits, higher taxes and government intervention into the private sector and private lives of American families.
The following members of Congress are the first-wave of politicians we will be targeting. In addition to highlighting their atrocious, inexcusable conduct while in office, we will also be launching television and radio ad campaigns against these incumbent politicians during the course of the tour:
There's some faces for you.
You will have to match them up with the descriptions above.
The kid who does their web site uses a real screwy type of html that cannot just be copied and pasted to post stuff.
I spent about an hour cleaning it up to make it half way presentable.

I can understand that logic but we are also in the grips of some dumb democrats (McCaskill/Jay Nixon) and need people to see this.
But I understand your point. Actually its selfish of me as well because I wanted to participate even if only from the sidelines. Can’t afford the trip out of state at this time.

Yes, it’s too bad the tour can’t start tomorrow and go until the next election cycle!
There are scores of democrats (and leftist republicans) that need to be fired all over the country.
Sorry you won’t be able to participate physically, but you can bump threads about the tour when it gets on the road.
You can’t afford to go out of state at this time? Can’t you rob a train or something, “Outlaw” Woman? LOL just kidding...

LOL......Actually I’m trying to dump my house right now to raise money to ‘join in the fight’. A person is fairly dead in the water if there is no ‘extra’.

To: Bob J
Well the FRN did put on a conference in 2002 that I attended.
A National Free Republic event.
I never saw it described as the First Annual Convention (or Conference for that matter) though.
I did notice there was some talk of having the FRN FR conference repeated the next year, but I don't think it was.
If this was the Second Annual Free Republic National Convention that is what it would be called.
Hopefully it will be successful and there will be a Second Annual Free Republic National Convention.
Out here on the West Coast.
I certainly enjoyed working with the FRN at the NFRA event in Dallas in 2001, and being on the committee for the first FRN Cruize up until it's departure in October of 2001.
And being part of the Free Republic 2004 Eagle Awards Committee.
Thanks for the bump to the thread, Bob.

Obama is coming to Raleigh, NC Wed (29th) morning to talk at a local high school gym about health care reform. NEED A TEA PARTY TO BREAK OUT!!
To: DTogo
Easy question to answer.
Occupier of the White House: Obama.
Leader of the Senate: Reid.
Leader of the House: Pelosi.
Hope that helps. The big-spending RINO's are bad too, but we're focusing on those who are pushing through the agenda that the Our Country Deserves Better Committee opposes.

To: Outlaw Woman
There are places to “swap your house permanently” to either trade up or down, and the rest is subsidized by cash from one who buys most expensive house. Be careful and check with REALTOR or Appraiser on values. Here are some of websites:
www.ree.com
www.goswap.org
www.domuswap.com
Craigslist with city on it, and go to house swap category to find out what is offered.
Both properties must swap at closing, and 1st closing the other party must sign legal document to complete swap as “Offer to Purchase” states, in order to make sure both get what was agreed to. Use an attorney for contracts.
