6 Florida Cities on Tea Party Bus Tour, Starting Saturday

A tea party bus tour will begin Saturday in Florida and make six stops around the Sunshine State.

The "Rallying for Victory" tour will stage events in Jacksonville, Winter Park, West Palm Beach, The Villages, Gainesville, Panama City and Pensacola in the run-up to Tuesday's presidential primary.

Tea Party Express, which bills itself as the nations largest tea party political action committee, said it is conducting the tour to demonstrate "strength and determination in pursuing and promoting tea party values."

Florida is a key state in the presidential election campaign and one in which the future direction of the country could be determined," said Amy Kremer, president of Tea Party Express.

"It is critical to have an energized and engaged tea party electorate, just like we saw in 2010 as the tea party movement elected more Republican state legislators since 1928 and more Republican congressional representatives since 1948."

Kremer said the bus tour will bring local and national tea activists together, and feature "conservative leaders from across the country and provide a platform for presidential candidates to present their tea party qualifications."
