Morally-conservative Pennsylvania Tea Party to host 'October Surprise'
RenewAmerica staff
PITTSBURGH — The Pennsylvania Tea Party is hosting an "October Surprise" pre-election event to maximize momentum for the mid-term elections, and to announce post-election activity. This event will be held at Market Square in Pittsburgh on Saturday, October 30, at 1 p.m.
"As the mid-term elections approach, we need to keep the conservative base engaged," said Robert Baehr, founder of the Pennsylvania Tea Party.
"The final 72 hours before an election are critical, and it is time to fully energize the conservative base to not only succeed in the 2010 mid-term elections, but to carry forward with a new emphasis on reclaiming our system of government and returning our nation to its constitutional roots," Baehr added.
Guest speakers will include former presidential candidate and former United Nations ambassador Alan Keyes, who will also be speaking at a pro-life breakfast promoted by the tea party group earlier in the day. Event details and tickets can be found at pennsylvaniateaparty.com.
BBC is planning to attend the event to provide media coverage of the elections, and also the Tea Party movement in the United States.
Founded by Robert Baehr in February 2009, the Pennsylvania Tea Party was the first Tea Party website to hit the internet to protest out-of-control government.
Comprised of a core group of coordinators, the Pennsylvania Tea Party has hosted two key events at Allegheny Landing in Pittsburgh — on April 11, 2009, and April 3, 2010.
The group's focus is on "bringing God back into the mainstream of life," preserving the U.S. Constitution, stopping abuse of power by government, and protecting the right to bear arms.
