As the Tea Party Express motorcade approaches the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, local coordinators are predicting crowds of historic proportions - motivated by the betrayal of Congressman Bart Stupak.
"People are angry, they feel that Congressman Stupak betrayed them and they are determined to hold him accountable," said Mark Williams, Chairman of the Tea Party Express.
The cities where the Tea Party Express rallies in Congressman Stupak's district will be held are sparsely populated.
Consider the populations listed for each of these cities:
*Ironwood, MI: 6,293
*Escanaba, MI: 13,140
*Sault Sainte Marie, MI: 16,542
*Cheboygan, MI: 5,295
*Petoskey, MI: 6,080
"You are going to see a sizable percentage of the entire population of these cities turning out for these Tea Party Express rallies. That fact alone speaks to how angry people are at Congressman Stupak," said Mark Williams of the Tea Party Express.
"One of the driving forces for the tea party movement's momentum is a sense that the politicians in Washington, D.C. aren't listening to the people they represent. Bart Stupak epitomizes that failing. He has become the poster child of the failed establishment politicians that so many Americans are determined to vote out of office this November," Williams said.
Tea Party Express III: Just Vote Them Out national tour kicked off tMarch 27th in Searchlight, NV where one of the largest political gatherings in Nevada history took place. The Tea Party Express will hold 48 tea party rallies across the nation, featuring conservative speakers, singers, and entertainers. The caravan’s final stop is in Washington, D.C. for the Tax Day Tea Party on April 15th.
