NATIONWIDE 2011 TEA PARTY FREEDOM JAMBOREE

Event Type: Rally / Concert
Speaker(s): Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, David Horowitz and many more!
City: Kansas City, Kansas
Date: September 28 – October 2
Ideological Orientation of Host(s): Patriotic/Free-Market/
Conservative/Libertarian/Constitutionalist
Location: The Woodlands RaceTrack, 9700 Leavenworth Road, Kansas City, KS 66109
Website: http://www.freedomjamboree.com
More Info: Freedom Jamboree is the national Tea Party event of 2011 that takes us to “Round Two” in our struggle to restore this Nation’s Constitutional principles, which continue to be ignored by our elected officials in D.C. In “Round One,” we took the House and many state legislatures as a result of our struggle.

“Round Two” has already begun with holding the line on the “national debt ceiling” as the central focus in our efforts to win this round early, with a “big government” knock-out, as we keep the pressure on House Republicans to stand firm against more debt and more spending. Freedom Jamboree seeks to educate and inform the Tea Party nationally about this issue, and to hold our elected officials to account this fall.

To be held in America’s heartland… Kansas City on September 28th through Oct. 2nd at the “Woodlands Racetrack.” The event will provide each Tea Party and 9.12 group with its own caucus area, to rally and discuss national and state candidates, legislation, or issues important to their independent groups, while enjoying national entertainers, candidates, and speakers in a county-fair tailgate party atmosphere.

Freedom Jamboree is also a national “grassroots” Tea Party and 9.12 group “nominating convention” for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States, resulting in a fifty state Tea Party “straw poll.” The convention starts at noon on Sept. 30, and ends at 8pm on Oct. 1, followed by the musical concert “FREE JAM” from 8pm until midnight. A Sunday morning worship service will take place on Sunday, Oct. 2. Early arrival begins on Sept. 28.

Freedom Jamboree is also focused on educating and activating the local Tea Party and 9.12 groups from around the country to stay involved in the current battles that are critical for the nation’s return to constitutionally limited government. The main battle we are now engaged in is the campaign to “Hold the Line on the National Debt Ceiling by the House”
