"ANDREA SHEA KING SHOW" EMBEDS WITH TEA PARTY EXPRESS III

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 8, 2010

ANDREA SHEA KING JOINS TEA PARTY EXPRESS III

FROM SEARCHLIGHT, NV TO WASHINGTON, D. C.

MARCH 27 - APRIL 15

The Tea Party Express is pleased to announce that conservative leader Andrea Shea King will be joining the Tea Party Express III: Just Vote Them Out national tour.

"I am delighted to be part of this historic national tour, and look forward to meeting and writing about the good people of America from Searchlight, Nevada all the way to "the scene of the crime," Washington DC. Join us along the way as we make this journey one for the history books!" - Andrea Shea King

The Tea Party Express III: Just Vote Them Out Tour kicks off March 27th with the "Showdown in Searchlight" - a mega-sized tea party rally in Senate Marjority Leader Harry Reid's hometown of Searchlight, NV (population: 700). Joining Ms. King at the rally will be Gov. Sarah Palin, Joe The Plumber, Saturday Night Live's Victoria Jackson, nationally syndicated radio host, Roger Hedgecock, conservative commentator and columnist, Andrew Breitbart, and many others.

Andrea Shea King has increasingly become one of the most relevant voices in the conservative movement. Besides the radio shows which have gained her such a loyal following, she is also a columnist for numerous conservative publications, and publishes her own blog. Most importantly, Andrea is a citizen-activist first. She was there in support of the first round of tea parties in 2009. She joined up with Tea Party Express II when it concluded it's national tour in Orlando, Florida.

And now Andrea Shea King will cross the nation with Tea Party Express III speaking at rallies, and reporting her experiences, and relaying the words and voices of countless Americans at these rallies, to her radio and print audiences.

"We are truly honored to have Andrea joining us for the entire tour - from the March 27th 'Showdown in Searchlight' kickoff to the grand finale 'Tax Day Tea Party' in Washington D.C. on April 15th. Andrea Shea King has earned tremendous respect from many within the conservative community and tea party movement because she takes real action as a citizen-patriot," said Levi Russell, Communications Director for the Tea Party Express.

LAS VEGAS "WINS", DETROIT "PLACES", ATLANTA "SHOWS"

Later this month (March 27), the Tea Party Express III will begin its cross-country tour at Searchlight, Nevada, home of Harry Reid. This is by design and for good reason. Reid, the third tentacle of the progressive hydra, is in the midst of a perfect political storm, a storm he will likely not survive. This political fact-of-life is not lost on the organizers of the Tea Party Express, either. Thousands will attend the Searchlight whistle stop, including Governor Sarah Palin.

Outside of storing nuclear waste, some mining and a smattering of military installations, Nevada doesn't have much in terms of an industrial base. However, Nevada does possess something no other state or nation can match: Las Vegas--the entertainment capitol of the world. Las Vegas is Nevada's economic engine, and it has a long reach in terms of economic activity. The world, to put it simply, is Vegas' market base. If life were found on another planet, they too would soon be booking flights bound for Vegas.

As we're discovering, even Nevada's economic crown jewel is not immune from the recession/depression. Business is cyclical. But, add to the mix Obama's admonishment to stay away from Las Vegas, coupled with Harry Reid's silence on the matter, and what you have is an economic disaster playing out right in front of not only Nevada's eyes, but the nation's: From Forbes:

"Las Vegas edged Detroit for the title of America's most abandoned city. Atlanta came in third, followed by Greensboro, N.C., and Dayton, Ohio. Our rankings, a combination of rental and homeowner vacancy rates for the 75 largest metropolitan statistical areas in the country, are based on fourth-quarter data released Feb. 3 by the Census Bureau. Each was ranked on rental vacancies and housing vacancies; the final ranking is an average of the two."

"America's most abandoned city"--Yes, you read that correctly. Because of the progressive hydra, the people of Las Vegas are left with no other choice but to search elsewhere for better employment opportunities. If you read the Forbes piece, you will get a perspective from investors who took the risks. Risks that created job opportunities for workers to make a good living. A living used to raise their families, educate their children. And remember, these capital investment outlays didn't come from government provided programs; they came from smart, hard working business people who earned those investment dollars on their own.

Business people and working people have one important thing in common: they vote. And vote they will.

As Las Vegas goes, so goes Nevada. As Nevada goes, so goes Harry Reid.

Support the Tea Party Express III. Don't think about it, do it. It's important, patriotic work and it costs lots of money. These tours are made possible only by your generosity. Send something, anything.

DAY ONE: ANDREA SHEA KING SHOW--SEARCHLIGHT, NEVADA

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. Harry Reid, not so much.

Take a listen to the 30 minute show

TURN OUT THE LIGHTS, THE PARTY'S OVER IN LAS VEGAS

I'm wondering just how many residents of Las Vegas will be attending the Tea Party Express III mega-rally in Searchlight, Nevada on Saturday. 40%? Read the headline story in today's Las Vegas Sun.

Always Bet on a Winner: NOISYROOM.NET

One of the stops I make every morning is NOISYROOM.NET. Especially TMH's Financial News Update.

Today, her top financial story IS VERY IMPORTANT. Many hard working folks are about to lose their jobs in Las Vegas. That's the bad news.

THE GOOD NEWS: It won't be long after the TEA PARTY EXPRESS III mega rally in Searchlight, Nevada, that Harry Reid will be losing his job too. Bet on it!

Please consider a generous donation to Tea Party Express III--our nation's future depends on it.

MELANIE MORGAN: ALWAYS ON THE GO

After the TPX III tour hit the road, Melanie kept her blog readers well informed with frequent updates of the tour's progress. To show our appreciation, we featured Melanie in one of our daily reports, putting her in the front seat of the Reagan Blue Bus.

Over at Melanie's blog, she's writing about San Francisco's boycott of Arizona--BACKLASH! If it's a boycott SF wants, I guess a boycott they'll get.

What's a Chuck D from the OC? Well, according to Melanie it has something to do with the Tea Party, freeway billboards and conservative friends in Hollywood. It's true.

And Melanie's latest project: Warriors for Congress. You'll want to support this effort. Cat Moy partners with Melanie on it.

TAHOE RESORT GOING OFF CLIFF; REID NOT FAR BEHIND--updated

When the president of the United States advises big business to stay clear of resort areas such as Las Vegas for their conventions, big business takes that to mean places like Reno and Lake Tahoe as well. The result? Big business in these convention towns begin to fail, and fail big. With the overall national economy in peril, tourism is down across-the-board. And convention business, long being the life blood of these areas, becomes even more vital to the survival to these resort areas. Today another resort's future just got a little more bleak, as did the future of many working Nevadans.

The latest collapse comes to the north shore of Lake Tahoe: The Ritz-Carlton's Highlands resort, a premier resort and major employer in the north shore area, has filed default papers with the Bank of America in Placer county, which means foreclosure is close at hand. This news places further economic burdens on an already beleaguered resort area. From the Sacramento Bee:

"The new Ritz-Carlton luxury hotel at Lake Tahoe has gone into default, the latest sign of trouble for the lake economy and one of its top developers.

The default notice is the first step toward possible foreclosure. It was filed against the Northstar-area hotel March 31, about a month after its developer, East West Resort Development of Avon, Colo., put nearly $1 billion worth of Northstar real estate development into bankruptcy reorganization."

Alongside Obama is Nevada senator Harry Reid--a potty trained lap-dog for Obama's economic policies--who has done little to nothing to bolster his state's economic future. As a result, Reid will continue skiing uphill into the senatorial elections, but probably not at the Highland's Resort in Tahoe.

Tourism and convention business is a big slice of the revenue Nevada takes in to keep the state afloat. But with Reid's lack of leadership in promoting his own state and policies favorable to it, Nevada is experiencing the brutal facts of economic reality. And soon the people of Nevada will be inviting Reid to gorge himself at an all-you-can-eat buffet, featuring a heapin' helpin' of political reality.

Note to Searchlight, Nevada-- your home town socialist is headed your way for an extended stay. Please welcome him home with open arms. It's time for a change, and the people of Nevada know it. Harry Reid knows it too. Since Harry Reid won't fight for you, consider putting Sharron Angle in the ring.



NOISYROOM for more financial news.

UPDATE: Since I've visited the north and south shores of Lake Tahoe and Reno many times, I always think of the area as Nevada. The state line runs right thru the center of the lake. The Ritz resort is on the California side of the lake, however, policies from Nevada affect the entire Tahoe resort region. As Reno goes, so goes Lake Tahoe, so to speak. And many of the workers in these resorts commute from Nevada because of prohibitive living costs associated with the Tahoe area.

I contacted the Ritz this morning and discussed the situation. A spokesperson said the financial problems with the property owner will not affect the operation of the hotel resort. The owner is now in negotiations with the bank to secure funding to bring it in line with current obligations.

When I asked if the resort would continue to operate in the event the owner in fact goes into foreclosure, the reply was that someone else would step in, buy the resort and it would continue to operate as usual. Rather optimistic, I'd say. But, the property is located in one of the most breath-taking areas on the planet. If you've never had the pleasure of visiting the Tahoe area, put it on your list of things to do before you die.

Here's a few pics I took from on top of the mountain at Tahoe.

Welcome to the Tea Party Express III: Just Vote Them Out! Tour

We are preparing to embark on the biggest Tea Party Express national tour to date.

“You, the politicians in Washington, have failed We The People with your bailouts, out-of-control deficit spending, government takeovers of sectors of the economy, Cap & Trade, government-run health care, and higher taxes! If you thought we were just going to quietly go away, or that this tea party movement would be just a passing fad, you were sadly mistaken. We’re taking our country back!”

Join us from March 27th to April 15th, 2010 as we tell Congress and the White House: “Enough!”

MELANIE MORGAN is right where she belongs: the front seat of the TPX Blue Bus. Melanie was a featured speaker at the kickoff of this TPX tour at Searchlight, Nevada, generously assisting Harry Reid plan for his upcoming retirement. All along the tour, Melanie has been keeping her readers up-to-date on TPX tour rallies, and we can't thank her enough for the coverage.

Co-author of the book, American Mourning, Melanie is an important part of what this tour is all about, because when she sinks her teeth into a political movement, she leaves a mark. Just ask former California Governor Gray Davis.

Andrea has amazing coverage of the yesterday's TPX rally held in Eau Claire, WI, as well as a report on the IRS' assessment of the Tea Party. Seems we're not a threat, after all.

Marathon Pundit is reporting on today's tour stops, and Noisyroom has coverage throughout the day. Pat Hickey has this gem too.

**IMPORTANT LINKS--For "LIVE" coverage of Rep. Bachmann at the Minneapolis rally, tune to TPX TV. Check their schedule for other rally coverage. Also, TPX III news, tour rally schedules.
