I’ll do my best to be there. It’s difficult to attend these events when they take place during the work day, but I’ll see what I can do.

In related news, tea party groups have united to form the National Tea Party Federation.

A broad coalition of national and regional Tea Party groups have announced the formation of the National Tea Party Federation (NTPF). The NTPF is established to create a unified message and media response amongst key leadership and their affiliates. At the same time, the NTPF will fund this capability to act as a clearinghouse and to prepare leadership to promote the Tea Party movement’s objectives of:

* Fiscal Responsibility

* Constitutionally Limited Government

* Free Markets

The federation includes key organizations and leadership and is committed to changing the dynamics of communicating clearly to its membership while supporting the aforementioned principles. The approach will allow for clarity of message, rapid response to media misinformation while continuing to build the brand equity of the Tea Party movement. The NTPF will act in unison without a central leadership or overhead yet collaborate through a common set of principles.

The say they welcome all tea party groups. I don’t think this is a bad idea due to the fact that the democrats, the media and leftists in general are constantly smearing tea party activists and this could be a good way to counter that. Also, spreading a message of limited government, fiscal responsibility and free markets is always a good thing.
