I do not have an itinerary so watch for it in your community.

Our local group now has 16 who will be attending and the number is likely to grow.

Though the trip for the bus has now been funded by private donations if anyone wishes to support the idea, I will try to steer you to a group in your area. If enough from my area are interested, we will charter a tour bus.
Slàinte,
Patch

| QUOTE (stoirmeil @ 24-Aug-2009, 07:05 PM) | | I notice you say "The Tea Party Express is funded". Who funds it? Are they passing the hat among the earnest participants and putting grassroot tea in the tank, or isn't this really powered out of some other kind of pocket? |
The Tea Party Express is sponsored by a conservative coalition of groups of which, Our Country Deserves Better PAC located in Sacramento, Calif is one. This PAC is the one that is receiving contributions for the tour. According to their web site, " The Our Country Deserves Better PAC is committed to defeating the candidates backed by Democrat Senate and House leaders, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, in the 2010 congressional elections. We will support conservative challengers in these election campaigns. We will then turn our focus to ensuring that Barack Obama is defeated should he chose to run for re-election in 2012." Issues, Our Country Deserves Better PACAccording to the Federal Election Commission web site their FEC filing for 2008 indicates 884 individual donors. Each donating various amounts, from $200 to $5000, totaling $1,367,421. Occupations range from retirees and homemakers to CEO's from across the country. FEC Summary Report for 2008It would be safe to say that this group is a grass-root group.
