From our national group, the Tea Party Patriots:

 

"We are receiving an overwhelming number of calls and emails asking about the tea party convention in Nashville.

Tea Party Patriots is not participating in the tea party convention.  A couple of months ago, Tea  Party Patriots Local Coordinators decided they did not want to to be involved in this endeavor because the ticket prices were out of our league.

There has been a lot of press coverage about the convention recently. We recommend thoroughly researching the convention before purchasing a ticket.

You are the heart and soul of the Tea Party Movement. Thank you for promoting the causes of fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and free markets with us!

Tea Party Patriots are just ordinary people reclaiming America's founding principles."
