"CAMPAIGN TO DEFEAT OBAMA" IN LAS VEGAS FOR STRATEGY MEETINGS

**Attention Patriots: What happened over the last few days in Las Vegas will NOT be staying in Las Vegas. Lloyd Marcus--Chairman of The Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama has an important message for you about that Vegas meeting. As Co-Chair of CTDO, Andrea Shea King was in attendance, I'm proud to say. Here's Lloyd Marcus' message to all of you:

My friends and fellow patriots - I am delighted to share with you a bit of a political secret. The past few days a team of conservative leaders, tea party activists and Republican political experts have gathered for an important series of meetings and strategy sessions.

The purpose of these fantastic planning sessions: to plot the DEFEAT of Barack Obama and elect constitutional conservatives to Congress. It has been an amazing few days. Here is one of the pictures from these strategy sessions:

One of the great things about the team we have at The Campaign to Defeat Obama is that everyone gets the point that it's not just about changing a "D" to an "R" - it's about electing true constitutional patriots to office.

So many people have told us they have concerns about one of the potential Republican nominees. And we understand those concerns - none of the candidates are perfect. What that should underscore for us is this simple point: beyond just defeating Barack Obama we must ensure we elect good conservative constitutionalists to Congress - to serve as a check on whoever is president.

We need to stop the out-of-control spending. It just never ends - more debt ceiling increases, more new government programs, more growth in the size and power of government. The political establishment likes the growth in government because it means there is more of the pie for them to divvy up and stake their claim to.

But the American people suffer as a consequence. We lose our freedoms and our liberties. We impose massive amounts of debt on our children's generation, tying their hands and making them dependent upon the Chinese and European bankers who will want them to pay back all the money we have been borrowing for the past few years.

Above: One of the breakout work sessions.

If we, the American people, can team up and work together we can bring about real change - a return to the principles that made this country great. We can end the deficit spending, we can stop the growth in government, we can reverse the erosion of our freedoms and liberties.

But, we can't do it unless we all work together.

Over the next few weeks we are going to share more with you about the efforts that have taken place over the past few days here in Las Vegas. One thing you need to know - when it comes to our effort to defeat Barack Obama and elect a conservative Congress, you can be sure that what has happened in Vegas the past few days won't stay in Vegas. We're taking the fight for our future to battlegrounds all across this great nation, and we will be honored to have your support in this critical endeavor.

Should you decide you want to support our efforts, we would be thrilled if you could make a contributionto fund our campaign. Barack Obama will have $1 BILLION. We need as many Americans to contribute $10, $25, $50, $100 or any amount up to the maximum allowed $5,000.

"Campaign to Defeat Obama" Vice-Chair, Andrea Shea King, interviewed by Houston's News Talk 740 KTRH's Matt Patrick

It was an early morning call for Andrea Shea King as she hit the ground running with her first radio interview as Vice-Chair of The Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama.

News Talk 740 KTRH's Matt Patrick of Houston, Texas, had Andrea on to discuss the legal status of the "Occupy" movement. By "legal status," Matt was referring to their many entanglements with law enforcement. Listen to interview.

Unlike the Tea Party movement, the "Occupiers" have been taking up space in more than just parks around the nation. News accounts indicate they've been spending a lot of time at local police departments as well, facing various charges and some as serious as assault on law enforcement officers.

King also informed KTRH's audience about the goals of The Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama and how to get involved and stay informed about the campaign. The KTRH interview was Andrea's first after moving into the Vice-Chair position, and as the 2012 election nears, King expects a busy schedule of radio and tv interviews.

Take the first step--Keep yourself in the loop by going to The Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama and sign up for their EMAIL ALERTS. We all have one goal in common, and that's to make sure Obama is not re-elected in 2012.

AN URGENT MESSAGE FROM LLOYD MARCUS

Hi everyone - I have a very important update for you on the RECALL fight in Wisconsin.  New polling is coming out in Wisconsin and the poll numbers we've obtained show that out of the 6 RECALL elections that take place next Tuesday, Republicans are ahead in 3 races, but also trailing in 3 races.

The problem is that if Republicans lose just 3 of these RECALL elections then Democrats take control of the State Senate and will then be able to completely block Gov. Scott Walker's agenda and all of his legislation.So we need to pull ahead in at least 1 more of these campaigns.

We are placing another round of TV and online ads for this campaign effort and we need your help.  We need to raise as much as we can by Friday, August 5th at 6:30 PM so we can know how much we can spend on this ad blitz.  In short, we need everyone's help ASAP!

You can contribute any amount from as little as $5 to the maximum allowed contribution of $5,000.   TV ads are running at the rate of about $125 - $500 per spot depending on the time of day in the Green Bay and Milwaukee markets (two of the most important in the state).  The TV ad rates can run as high as $5,000 for ads to run during certain shows in Prime Time, but we have not yet bought any of these most expensive ads. 

In other parts of  the states ads average anywhere from $50 per spot to $200 per spot. 
So if you can afford to make a contribution of $100 you can have the pleasure of knowing your contribution will help pay for 1-2 TV ads in various parts of Wisconsin ahead of Tuesday's critical election.

To help us make a major impact with this ad blitz we will not only need the support of thousands of patriots from across America, but we'll also need some of our most generous supporters to make a more sizable contribution of $500 or more.  I hope you can be one of those people who can afford to make such a contribution.

TEA PARTY EXPRESS IV--"TEA ARE THE WORLD" EDITION--Updated w/Rand Paul

Support THE TEA PARTY EXPRESS

TPX tour embed Andrea Shea King has coverage of Lloyd Marcus--voice of the Tea Party Movement--and the recent release of his newest project. Marcus, well known here in the States as a singer-song writer and author, has gone international. Andrea has the report.

DAY NINE of TPX IV brought the tour to Nashville, TN. It rained but it didn't dampen any spirits. Umbrellas and 'taking back America' were the orders of the day. Andrea has commentary along with some photos of the events.

DAY TEN has the tour pulling into Paducah, Ky--11 AM; then back on the road for a 5 PM rally at St. Louis, Mo. Check the TPX tour schedule for rallies in your town.

TEA PARTY HD AND LIBERTY.COM brings you"live" rally coverage to your computer--hundreds of thousands view each day, so if you can't attend in person, do it from your living room. TPX IV rallies are but a click away!

With a week remaining before we 'fundamentally re-transform America,' TPX officials are calling on membership to hit the CONTRIBUTE BUTTON. The final week's push to victory at the polls is not cheap--not even close to cheap--and now's not the time to hold back. Ad buys, travel and many other challenges must be faced head-on, and NOW. The progressives never take a day off or take time to sleep--we shouldn't either. We've come this far, let's finish the job at hand: Nov 2nd. Any contribution you can make--big, small or in between--will be most appreciated and used effectively against our opponents. After this tour, there will be more work for us to do... much more. In fact, the real heavy lifting begins on Nov 3rd and won't end until we unravel the progressive policies that have been forced upon the American people over the last 18 months. The responsibility now falls to our generation--the next Greatest Generation, but don't expect Tom Brokaw to write a book about us. Leave that to patriots like Lloyd Marcus and quite possibly Andrea Shea King.

Melanie Morgan.com, John Ruberry at Marathon Pundit, Barbara at American Freedom and Terresa Monroe-Hamiton at NoisyRoom are still in the trenches, helping spread the word about TPX IV. Many others are reporting as well, and together we will be victorious on the 2nd and beyond. Follow their lead, get involved in some way. There's but a week remaining.

THE ANDREA SHEA KING SHOW will again be broadcasting "live" from the road--talking tour news as well as news in general. 9 PM ET nightly.

A MESSAGE FROM LLOYD MARCUS OF THE TEA PARTY EXPRESS

If you've been watching the news media lately, you've no doubt seen the press stories where the NAACP has been attacking the tea party movement as racists. They've even tried to turn conservatives and tea party activists against each other.

It's something I saw coming from a mile away. When I wrote the "American Tea Party Anthem" I included the following line in the song:

"So when they call you a racist, because you disagree, it's just another of their dirty tricks, to silence you and me."

And guess what: it's not going to work, and we are NOT going to be silenced.

The fight for our country's future is so important, and there is so much work that needs to be done by each of us.

I got involved in this tea party movement as a proud American (not a hyphenated-American, just a regular American like you and every other proud patriot) because I love this nation and what it was founded on. There is no other country in the world that celebrates and empowers the freedom of the individual as the United States does.

Our Founding Fathers left us a legacy of freedom that each generation must work to protect and uphold.

Sadly, corrupt politicians have sold us out and taken away some of those freedoms in recent years. They've grown the size and intrusiveness of the federal government. They've strapped us with massive amounts of debt. Our children and grandchildren will be dealing with these problems if we don't take action now.

Now here's the good news: Despite the media and the Left's attempts to derail this tea party movement over the past two weeks, the tea party movement has grown stronger, not weaker. We here at the Tea Party Express have had some of our strongest fundraising pushes for two of the U.S. Senate candidates we have made a priority: Sharron Angle in Nevada and Joe Miller in Alaska. During this time we've raised more than $200,000 to support their campaigns, and I want to thank you for that great support.

So how do we best push back against the attacks from the media and the Left? We work even harder. We fight with even great zeal and determination. And we realize that the ONLY reason we've come under so much fire from our opponents is because of how successful we've been thus far.

So, again, let's keep it up. We raised $200,000 the past two weeks helping conservative Sharron Angle defeat Harry Reid and conservative Joe Miller defeat RINO (Liberal Republican) Lisa Murkowski. I challenge you all to help us do even better for these next two weeks!

So please, help support our campaign for Sharron Angle in Nevada by making a contribution - HERE.

And support our campaign for conservative Joe Miller in Alaska by making a contribution - HERE.

You can contribute as little as $5 all the way up to the maximum allowed $5,000.

If you prefer you can mail in a contribution payable to "Tea Party Express" to our headquarters:

Tea Party Express
770 L Street #1020
Sacramento, CA 95814

Fellow patriots: I thank you for your past efforts, and now I ask you to join me as we put our chin out there, take the hits from the Left and the media, and prevail at the ballot box in the upcoming November elections.

It's simply the only way we can take our country back! If you'd please, forward this email and share it with your friends!

TEA PARTY EXPRESS III: TOPEKA, TULSA EDITION--Updated

I'm way behind schedule this morning, so I'll point you in the direction of Marathon Pundit--Topeka, Fred Phelps, Tea Party Express III. What could possibly go wrong?

TPX TV Topeka at 10:00 am CST; Tulsa at 4:00 pm

More to come...

***UPDATE: This just in from Andrea Shea King in Topeka, Kansas--TPX III:

Andrea reported to me this morning that it's pouring rain in Topeka and the TPX rally was moved inside. As they were riding the bus to the venue, most figured no one would show up in this downpour. While talking with Andrea, the bus turned on the street where the rally is to be held, and there they were... crowds of cheering, freedom-loving Americans standing out in the rain with umbrellas, signs, and flags!! I could hear the cheers over the phone, overwhelming.

(Andrea corrects me: The Topeka rally was never moved to an inside venue; the crew was just wondering if it would be due to weather.)

UPDATE II: Andrea reports that Lloyd Marcus hit the stage with "Singin' in the Rain," and the crowd joined in.

It's a great day to be an American.

TEA PARTY EXPRESS III: PROVO, SALT LAKE CITY EDITION--**UPDATED**

DAY 3: ON THE ROAD TO UTAH WITH TEA PARTY EXPRESS TV

After two Sunday rallies in Arizona--Phoenix and Flagstaff--members of the Tea Party Express loaded onto their buses early this morning for a short, 600 mile hop to St. George, Utah.

The St. George rally is scheduled for 3:30 PM.

Technology is a big part of TPXIII, allowing organizers and supporters to reach as many people as possible, and this is where Tea Party Express TV comes in.

Unless you're an embed on the tour, there is no way to attend all the rallies. But with TPX TV, you can attend "live" via your computer. Last night I watched the Flagstaff rally from right here in Northern California.

I watched Amy Kremer, Mark Williams, Andrea Shea King, Lloyd Marcus, JD Hayworth, Debbie Lee and the rest of the TPX crew speak to a gathering of American patriots. Did I mention The Rivoli Revue and Diana Nagy? Yep, them too. I almost forgot Polatik--he's new, talented and a big hit at the rallies.

SO HERE'S THE DEAL: Head over to the Tea Party Express III site. On the menu bar at the top, hit TPX TV, sign up, bookmark, check the schedule, and you will be able to invite your friends and family to the next TPX rally via your computer. And when the tour comes to your area, be there--bring someone along too.

TPX TV was developed by William and Selena Owens. It's one of the best additions ever for the tour. In addition to TV, Wm and Selena produce the beautiful TPX III commemorative journal pictured above. Check out both at TPX TV--you'll be glad you did!

Hey, while you're still here, go on board the Gold bus with Lloyd Marcus.

More to come...

**TONIGHT AT 9 PM EST:

After a long day of travel on Friday and an even longer day of Tea Party rallying in Searchlight, Nevada, Andrea Shea King did a show this evening as the Tea Party Express III buses were pulling into Henderson, Nevada, for the day's second rally.

Andrea gave us some details of the day, but because of time constraints couldn't give a full accounting of the day's events. But what a day it was! Andrea did the show "live" from on board one of the Tea Party Express III buses, included were interviews with people who were invited speakers as well as tour embeds. A great day for America.

SENATOR BARBARA MIKULSKI TO RETIRE; HARRY REID NEXT?

Just ran across a story about Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland. She's retiring? Another Dem hits the road? Is it Christmas or what? Anyway, the story indicates she'll be announcing in a few days. According to the post, it's for medical reasons. Shortly we'll be finding out if it's true or not, but for now it looks credible. Hat Tip to HILLBUZZ.

I can't keep up with all the politicians, both republicans and democrats, who are heading for the exits--here's a listing. Again, is it Christmas?

Also, in the comments from the post below this one, Greybeard mentions to not forget about the republicans. I didn't, I was just focused on Evan Bayh, a dem, and was quite shocked to hear the news. But your point is well taken--we need to focus on the republicans just as much as the communists. Get rid of them all. Right now, party means nothing to me. The constitution, our nation, is all we should be focused on, along with those who support it as well as those who clearly do not.

Yes, we are taking back America in 2010. Here's Lloyd Marcus:
