TEA PARTY EXPRESS--FLORIDA: "PANAMA CITY, PENSACOLA" EDITION

The TPX crew had a late morning call before boarding the bus to their next rally stop in Panama City--Noon. Tour embed Andrea Shea King called in to say they had arrived and how beautiful it is. Andrea is working at getting a good pic of the scene back to me before hitting the road for their final stop of the tour--Pensacola--5 PM.

There's much talk of Tuesday's primary vote. Speculation abounds from Newt taking Florida by a few votes over Romney to Romney crushing Newt to the point of the former Speaker ending his bid for the White House. We'll have to wait until late Tuesday evening to find out. Or you could tune in and listen to Karl Rove and his magic white board to see what they think. Me... I'll just wait until late Tuesday for the final results.

In the meantime, TPX Florida will do what it can to make sure Obama is no longer in the White House come Jan '13. Oh, btw, Newt received another endorsement over the weekend. Andrea reports.

Here's a roundup of what happened to the TPX bus over the w/e. Andrea put together a great slide show of the setback at The Radio Patriot.

TEA PARTY EXPRESS--"FLORIDA EDITION" Andrea Shea King hits the road... again.

Never a moment's rest for patriots like Andrea Shea King.

After coming off a trip to Las Vegas last week for strategy meetings with the Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama, The Tea Party Express calls and says, "pack your bags!"

And pack her bags, she did. This morning Andrea's headed north from her home on the Space Coast to meet with other TPX team members so they can organize and prepare for a short but important Florida TPX Tour.

When it comes to presidential races, it doesn't get more important than Florida. And The Tea Party Express plans to be in the middle of the process right up to the very end.

This TPX Florida Tour begins tomorrow:

Complete TPX Florida Tour schedule. Andrea has some notes at her site, The Radio Patriot.

TEA PARTY EXPRESS IV--"ROSE BOWL" EDITION--Update: NAACP/MEDIA MATTERS ATTACK TEA PARTY LEADERSHIP, LINKS TO RACISM

Support THE TEA PARTY EXPRESS

DAY TWO of TPX IV ended on a successful note with rallies in Ely and Las Vegas, Nevada. The Las Vegas venue was packed--Tour Embed Andrea Shea King has a round-up at The Radio Patriot, featuring a slide show capturing the scenes in both Ely and Las Vegas. Note: The Las Vegas Sun is again running a front page piece on Angle, obviously prompted by the TPX being in town for the night.

ADDITIONAL PRESS: The Tea Party Express is Andrea's lead story in her weekly WorldNetDaily column.

Media note: TPX Chief Strategist Sal Russo just wrapped up an interview on FNC's America's Newsroom, and as expected Russo was in command of the political realities both here on the tour and with the voting public in general. As Russo stated, "The glass is overflowing."

DAY THREE sets the stage for rallies in Barstow, Ca--1:30 PM, and then on to Pasadena at the Rose Bowl--6:30 PM. Singer/conservative Pat Boone will be featured. Rumor is that Melanie Morgan will be attending a rally in Southern California. I'll find out more soon. *Morgan confirms via her site that she will be speaking in southern California. **Check the upcoming tour rally schedule.

Lending a helping hand with the tour: Melanie Morgan.com; Terresa Monroe-Hamilton at NoisyRoom.net--TMH makes sure to add email updates from the tour throughout the day--invaluable postings. John Ruberry at Marathon Pundit in Chicago is a busy man but finds the time to help out as well. Visit their sites for not only tour info but other important political happenings around the nation. Things are poppin' all the time.

Attend a rally in your area, bring a friend, family member--make it an event. But if you can't make it, just hit Liberty.com and you can view the rally via their tv remote. It's free, no sign-up, just click!

UPDATES: As Andrea Shea King files reports from the Red Bus, I will update below.

*UPDATE I: Via Lloyd Marcus onboard the entertainer bus--the NAACP is reporting links between the Tea Party movement leaders and racism--READ the story here.

Other NAACP/MEDIA MATTERS' hit pieces are here, here, and here.

A word from Selena Owens and Gold Star Mom, Debbie Lee:

TEA PARTY EXPRESS IV--"HARRY PELOSI" EDITION--Updated... 100 motorcycle escort!

Ely, Nevada rally: POLATIK (standing, center left) stacking hands with some of our younger generation. Great photo! Pic sent by TPX embed, Andrea Shea King.

Day one of the TPX IV tour was a huge success with rallies in Reno and Elko, Nevada. Palin's message to the attendees in Reno was clearly heard in Las Vegas--see the Las Vegas Sun's morning headline below. A major hit piece on Angle.

Here's what the Sun has to say about Palin and the TPX, and the Las Vegas Review-Journal is carrying this story as well. "HARRY PELOSI"--thank you Andrew Breitbart--can smell the diesel fumes of the TPX IV's caravan of buses headed their way today. Fear is in the air and they're pulling out all the stops.

TPX IV embed, Andrea Shea King, will be filing reports with me as the day's events unfold. I will be updating here on this post, so check back throughout the day. King has put together a great slide show from yesterday's rally in Reno, and as I reported yesterday, she was able to get a pic with Palin. Check it out at The Radio Patriot.

Today's TPX IV events begin with a Rally in Ely, NV at Noon, and then on to Las Vegas at 6 PM. For future TPX rallies, check the entire tour schedule here. Tell your friends and family, attend if you can. If you can't attend a rally in your town, you can watch it live via Liberty.com's site. I used Liberty's site yesterday to watch the Reno rally and it worked perfectly. No sign up, just click the link.

Greatly assisting in the effort to spread the word is Terresa Monroe-Hamilton at NoisyRoom--lots of posts; Melanie Morgan, and John Ruberry out of Chicago at Marathon Pundit. The crew at TPX can't thank these patriots enough for their time and effort. Old guard media dislike their efforts; we love 'em for it, and with their continued efforts we'll bring this progressive era to a grinding halt--we're all part of the history that's being written today. Know this to be true. And also know that they're running scared, not knowing what to make of you poor, misguided American patriots, bent on taking back America.

The ANDREA SHEA KING SHOW will be broadcasting live each night at 9 PM ET from the TPX IV. Don't miss it!

UPDATES TO FOLLOW BELOW:

*UPDATE I--12:15 PM out of Nevada via Andrea Shea King from the Red Bus: TPX IV will be late arriving for the rally in Ely because of road construction. Not to worry, though, they will be there! The arrival for the Las Vegas rally later this evening will be on time--6:00 PM. TPX IV officials have secured a 100 MOTORCYCLE ESCORT into Las Vegas, so traffic will not be a problem. More to come...

**UPDATE II: 1:45 PM from Andrea Shea King. The rally in Ely, NV went off very well, despite arriving a little late. The crowd was great and many youngsters were seen in attendance with their parents. Pics of that event will be coming later. In the meantime, below you'll see Andrea pointing to Ely, NV on the side of a TPX bus. And below that, on the road to Ely with Sal Russo. I don't know the names of the other two fellows. (Sal is standing.)
