FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

September 19, 2009

Contact: Judy Holloway (512.585.7673)

On Saturday, September 19, the Austin Tea Party Patriots, supported by tea party groups from San Antonio and Houston, plan to make note of Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s afternoon fundraising visit to Austin by holding a rally in Pease Park from 11:30 to 2:30 pm.  

“If there is one elected official who is the poster child for all that has gone wrong in Washington, it would have to be Nancy Pelosi,” said Judy Holloway, organizer for the event and founder of Austin Tea Party Patriots. “Washington has really let the people of this country down under the leadership, such as it is, of Speaker Pelosi.”

The Austin Tea Party Patriots contend that Ms. Pelosi’s guidance has lead to unprecedented excesses of federal government and a total lack of respect and care for the American people. She has belittled those who oppose her policies, provided no transparency on the major bills she has rushed through the House and has generally sought to divide the country at a time when so many Americans are out of work and needing solid solutions to get the economy back on track.  

“Every week features a new attack by Ms. Pelosi on Americans who believe that her brand of governing is destructive,” adds Ms. Holloway. “We offer positive solutions to make our country stronger. We would enjoy the chance to speak with her and find some common ground, but we do not expect to have that opportunity.”

The Texas Tea Party Patriots (www.texasteapartypatriots.org) is a group of local, statewide grassroots organizations united by shared core values. We believe in Fiscal Responsibility, Limited Government, and Adherence to the Constitution. The Texas Tea Party Patriots' mission is to organize those who believe in our core values, to educate and inform others who presently do not understand or promote our core values, to advocate public policy consistent with those values, and to support the efforts of political candidates and officeholders who foster our values in government. We recognize that many in our society require assistance in these troubled economic times and are committed to helping them through private charities and personal engagement rather than through wasteful governmental programs.
