SACRAMENTO, CA – A national “Tea Party Express” tour (website: www.TeaPartyExpress.org) conducting a series of 35 tea party rallies across the country will rally Americans to oppose Barack Obama’s government-run healthcare proposal.
The national tea party tour will be supported by paid television ads that include the tagline: “Ask yourself this, would you be willing to put your own family into the hands of Barack Obama’s socialistic health care plan?”
The TV ads will run in markets where the “Tea Party Express” will be conducting grass roots tea party rallies. The television ad can be seen here:

“We’ve been raising money to fund this effort for the past several weeks, and now we are in a position to air these ads in opposition to Obama’s government-run healthcare proposal just prior to Congress returning to Washington to take up debate on the proposal,” said Sal Russo, Chief Strategist for the Our Country Deserves Better Committee, which is organizing the “Tea Party Express.”
Starting in California on August 28th, the caravan will travel eastward towards its final destination of the massive 9/12/09 Taxpayer March on D.C.
The “Tea Party Express” is a project of the Our Country Deserves Better Committee, one of the nation’s largest conservative political action committees.
“Barack Obama’s healthcare plan is a big-government monstrosity that has evoked a backlash from the American people. With opposition from Republicans and a number of Democrats in Congress, the plan is already on life support and it’s time to pull the plug,” said Mark Williams, Vice Chairman of the Our Country Deserves Better Committee who will be one of the featured speakers on the “Tea Party Express.”
The “Tea Party Express” marks the first national tea party tour that will ignite citizen activism against Obama’s healthcare plan as well as continued opposition against out-of-control spending, higher taxes, bailouts and the “Cap & Trade” global warming fiasco. The tour will come just as Members of Congress are feeling the heat from their constituents at townhall meetings in their district.
“If Members of Congress thought they were feeling the heat for their wrongheaded policies now, just wait until August 28th,” said Williams.
The Tea Party Express features action-oriented conservative spokespeople and entertainers such as talk show host Mark Williams, Marine Mom Deborah Johns, National Tax Limitation Committee Chairman, Lew Uhler, Tea Party Patriots coordinator Amy Kremer, singer Lloyd Marcus, YouTube sensation Rivoli Review, patriotic singer Diana Nagy, and many others. At each rally, the tour will be holding local members of Congress accountable for destructive legislation and policy that reeks of socialism and threatens to permanently cripple the American economy.
“Americans are increasingly waking up to the disastrous policies that have been advanced by Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid,” said Sal Russo who is Chief Strategist for the Our Country Deserves Better Committee.
The massive interest in our Tea Parties shows that the people are now ready to take responsibility and fight back for the future of the nation.
“In the face of rising unemployment, growing budget deficits, expanded powers for the federal government and repeated efforts to raise taxes to support more social services, the Tea Party rallies will play a major in helping Americans to take back their government and their country,” Russo said.
