TEA PARTY EXPRESS ENDORSES JOE MILLER FOR U.S. SENATE
VOWS TO DEFEAT LISA MURKOWSKI
The Tea Party Express has been active in the 2010 election cycle. This week the group endorsed Conservative Republican Mike Lee's campaign for U.S. Senate in Utah.
The group was a prominent supporter of Scott Brown's campaign for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts, spending more than $350,000 in an Independent Expenditure campaign on his behalf.
The Tea Party Express has similarly spent over $500,000 on our "Defeat Harry Reid" campaign complete with TV, radio and print ads calling for the defeat of the Senate Majority Leader. And on March 27th the Tea Party Express conducted the high-profile "Showdown in Searchlight" that drew approximately 20,000 tea party activists and Gov. Sarah Palin to the tiny hometown of Senator Reid: Searchlight, NV.
Most recently the Tea Party Express endorsed tea party activist, Conservative Republican Sharron Angle, for U.S. Senate in Nevada. After spending over $550,000 in the race on her behalf, Angle catapulted from 5% (on April 11th) - with the Tea Party Express endorsement being made on April 15th - to over 40% on Election Day, and winning the GOP primary. Angle's closest competitor in the 12-candidate field was 14% behind.
The Tea Party Express also previously announced support for Marco Rubio's Senate campaign in Florida - the Republican nominee in the race, and Rand Paul's Senate campaign in Kentucky. The Tea Party Express also announced its targets for defeat, including Arlen Specter for Senate in Pennsylvania and Alan Mollohan for Congress in West Virginia. Both candidates were defeated in their respective primaries.
The Tea Party Express is perhaps best known for the three national Tea Party Express bus tours that we have organized, with well over 100 tea party rallies taking place as part of these tours. The rallies have drawn several hundred thousand participants and featured the likes of Gov. Sarah Palin, Joe The Plumber, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, conservative author and pundit, Ann Coulter, Congressman Joe Wilson, and many others.

About time. Sarah Palin already endorsed Miller.
LOLOL! Let's see... that will be Anchorage/Valdez/Fairbanks. Put the buses on the ferry, go to Juneau, put the buses on the ferry, go to Ketchikan, put the buses on the ferry, go to Wrangell, put the buses on the ferry, go to Sitka. If they want to go to Deadhorse, well, they COULD drive the haul road (Dempster), I guess. A C130 would help for trips to Bethel, Nome, Dillingham, etc.
