The Speech: A Time for choosing -- http://thespeechatimeforchoosing.blogspot.com
Tea Party Nation has announced they are holding the first of it’s kind National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, Tennessee February 4-6 at the Opryland Hotel.
Sarah Palin will be the Special Keynote Speaker at the event:
Tea Party Nation is pleased to announce the First National Tea Party Convention.
The convention is aimed at bringing the Tea Party Movement leaders
together from around the nation for the purpose of networking and
supporting the movements' multiple organizations principle goals. This
event will be co-sponsored by other national groups that believe in a
responsible and limited federal government that is responsive to all
the people. National Taxpayers Union, American Majority, Smart Girl Politics, and SurgeUSA
Special
Keynote Speaker for the event will be Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska
(2006-2009) and 2008 Republican Vice Presidential Nominee.
The
convention will feature well-known speakers, workshops, seminars,
information centers, and organizational tools for leaders to take back
to their respective local Tea Party organizations. are just a few of the organizations who will be on hand to contribute their time and talents to this convention.
Popular Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann will be one of the breakfast speakers at the convention as well.
Tea Party Nation, according to their website, is "a
user-driven group of like-minded people who desire our God given
Individual Freedoms which were written out by the Founding Fathers. We
believe in Limited Government, Free Speech, the 2nd Amendment, our
Military, Secure Borders and our Country!"
This
is obviously a major step for the nation. The Tea Party movement has
been gaining steam since it’s beginnings, and is now turning into a
serious political movement. On September 12, 2009 Tea Party members
along with those from the 912 Project
converged on Washington, D.C. Somewhere between 1.5 and 2 million
patriots met up to rally against our radical, out of control government.
This
national convention is the next logical step in the progression of this
movement. This will strengthen the movement, and help coordinate all of
the local Tea Party groups.
From
Sarah Palin’s standpoint, this is obviously a good move. No one
embodies the American Spirit, that rugged individualism, as well as
Sarah Palin. Sarah is already favorite of Tea Party and 912 Project
members, this will only solidify her standing. As we roll into 2010,
and Sarah starts helping Conservative candidates nationwide, the
support of Tea Party activists will be vital. The Tea Party groups will
be the ones who will help run the ground game, who will knock doors and
get out the vote.
Of
course, as 2012 nears, having the support of the Tea Party groups will
give Sarah a strong advantage over all others should she choose to run
for President.
