Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin will headline a "tea party" rally next month in Searchlight, Nev., the home town of embattled Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.), tea party movement organizers said.
Palin, who is delivering the keynote address at the National Tea Party Convention this weekend in Nashville, is stepping up her campaign activities for conservative activist groups this spring. The March 27 Nevada event will kick off the Tea Party Express's 42-city bus tour, which will end April 15 with what organizers are billing as a major march on Washington. In addition to the Searchlight rally, Palin will headline a tour stop in Boston on April 14, said Mark Williams, chairman of Tea Party Express.

By beginning the tour in Searchlight, Reid's rural home town 60 miles from Las Vegas, the grassroots tea party movement is going straight at the heart of Reid's scrappy up-from-the-bootstraps narrative. The move is part of a wave of conservative efforts to oust the top Senate Democrat, who is up for reelection in November.

He made it clear that Palin will not be paid for these appearances.
"This is her coming along for political purposes," Williams said. "She's going to help us do what we do, which is the guerilla gathering of free media. This is politics."
Sarah is gonna join us for the kick off of the Tea Party Express III in Searchlight!
Check this out!
Ouch! Take that Dingy! LOL!
Williams also said of Reid, “We’re going to prepare a new home for him back there on the old farm”
Woo hoo!! You betcha!! See you there!!
Excellent!
LOL, yea we’re gonna SOCK IT TO ‘EM!
Tea Party Activists = Patriotic Americans
Best 'guerrilla' move since Rudy had a fundraiser against Hillary in Arkansas.
This weekend, it's Nashville, but in March, I'll head to Searchlight, Nev., for the kickoff rally at the Tea Party Express III. In April, I'll be in Boston for a Tea Party gathering there. Across the country, tea-partiers will be sharing our vision for America's future, a vision that promotes common sense solutions to out-of-control spending and an out-of-touch political establishment.This gal is on board!
The process may not always be pretty or perfect, but the message is loud and clear: We want a government worthy of the fine Americans that it serves. And we're going to keep spreading that message one convention, one town hall, one speech and one election at a time.
I am hoping that we will be able to be there. I would like nothing better!
I’ll miss Sarah in Nevada, but I will be at the Tea Party in DC on April 15th with wife and daughter! Gonna take her out of school that day to meet a few million Americans!
I am flying out to Nevada just to hear Sarah. Met her last year in Jeffersonville In...shes the real deal. Screw the politicians...Sarah aint one.
That sounds great, the kids need to get this kind of education.
Good on you!
Yah!! I’m ready.......I can’t wait!
Wow that’s great Snurple!
Yea, she’s a cut above, ain’t she?
We missed you in Fresno!
We’re neighbors to NV and definitely plan to see you all in Searchlight!
