The Tea Party Express will be making its stop in Ohio at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds in Berea, Ohio on April 11. The TPX III program begins at 3 PM featuring Lloyd Marcus and the other Tea Party Express performers, plus Darla Dawald, National Director of ResistNet, Victoria Jackson of Saturday Night Live and Jim Labriola of Home Improvements. Avoid the rush and arrive as early as 2 PM to enjoy speeches from local patriots and celebrities while waiting for the Tea Party Express to arrive. The MC will be popular local radio host, Matt Pattrick. Other local speakers include State Senator Tim Grendell, former Attorney General candidate Steve Christopher, Jack Boyle of End Ohio Estate Tax, Warren Edstrom of The Voices of America, Skip Claypool of blog talk radio and “Coach” Dave Daubenmire of Pass the Salt Ministries.
This appearance will serve as the "kickoff" for Tea Parties throughout Ohio. Naturally we hope to not only provide an entertaining and enjoyable "show" to those of us who are already part of the 2nd American Revolution, but to attract, inform and involve new patriots.
Accordingly we would like to use this opportunity to:
1) Showcase as many of the active patriotic groups as we can to build participation and momentum (more than 40 groups will be present)
2) Promote specific issues and petition drives (e.g., Health Care Freedom Amendment, EndOhioEstateTaxNow)
3) Provide an opportunity for participants to meet candidates (dozens of statewide & local candidates will be on present)
4) Provide an opportunity to buy patriotic T-shirts, signs, flags, books, etc.
5) Project our voices through the media (Health Care, Amnesty, the tactics used by our government to pass legislation we don't want, etc.)
6) Meet new friends and have fun.
The event will be open to the public and free of charge. Restrooms will be open, as will a "family friendly" area for kids, and food vendors. Feel free to bring your own coolers (non-alcoholic!), lawn chairs, signs and flags. Parking is ample and the weather forecast is good.
