National Tea Party Convention Announces Headliner Lou Dobbs

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 14, 2010 -- NASHVILLE, Tennessee (May 14, 2010) – The National Tea Party Convention, today, announced that award winning journalist, TV and radio personality, Lou Dobbs, will join the convention delegates and share his vast insights and perspectives as a keynote speaker. Bringing his political and financial knowledge and commentary to bear, Lou Dobbs will offer the delegates a direct and reasoned defense of American exceptionalism while dealing with issues of trade, jobs, politics and the challenges facing America in the 21st century.

Lou Dobbs stated, ” I have had two great experiences with the Tea Party movement, in New Orleans and in New York at the TeaParty365 Tax Day Tea Party. The crowds were large, boisterous and most importantly, made up of hard working Americans who want to take their country back. I am incredibly excited about the opportunity to address the Tea Party in Las Vegas and want to thank Tea Party Nation and the National Tea Party Federation for coming together and putting on this convention."

Lou Dobbs brings a true independent voice to Talk Radio, occupying the vital middle ground between the conservative and liberal voices that dominate much of the segment today. Lou anchors 3 nationally syndicated radio programs. The Lou Dobbs show, the Lou Dobbs financial reports and The Lou Dobbs encore weekend edition. It's been a year of first's for Lou "ON THE RADIO" starting with one of Lou's most impressive radio achievements by getting fifty signed radio stations to air his program in the first fifty days on the air, a first in radio syndication history! Dobbs was voted to the top ten list of the Most Important radio talk show host's in America by Talkers magazine (2009).

Judson Philips, Founder and President of Tea Party Nation said, “Lou Dobbs is an electrifying personality who says what's on his mind and backs it up with his knowledge and experience throughout his journalistic career. He is hard hitting and will bring a unique perspective to the convention that will hold people's attention while also challenging their thinking."

Lou Dobbs is the Independent voice in today's largely liberal mainstream media coverage. And his Independent message is hitting the hearts of Americans everywhere. As a former CNN anchor, award-winning journalist, best-selling author and America's leading voice of reason, Lou Dobbs packs a powerful punch. His views influence our leaders, his viewers, and his readers. Lou now brings his point of view to the radio airwaves in a daily, 3-hour program. Lou examines the issues, evokes passion and entertains the audience like no other broadcaster.

Filmmaker Stephen K. Bannon who premiered "Generation Zero" at the Nashville Convention and one of the co-founders of the National Tea Party Federation stated, "We are pleased to have a person of the national reputation of Lou Dobbs speak at this convention. As a speaker at the New York Tax Day Tea Party, I had the chance to see the overwhelming reaction of the crowd to his speech and I can say that his participation in this convention will excite the delegates and provide for extraordinary media attention."

Dobbs commented, "Where are we right now? Let's look back at the past six months: We've talked about how 60 percent of the American electorate now receives more from the federal government than they pay in taxes. We've talked about how Obama has appointed at least 34 unelected czars that answer to nobody except the White House. We've talked about how Congress passed The GIVE Act to expand service in this country, the first step towards Rahm Emanuel's vision of compulsory service in this country. We've talked about how we're watching our government's attempted murder of free speech, and we're watching the murder of opposing viewpoints. We're watching a group of left-wing politicians and bureaucrats talk openly about trampling on your Second Amendment rights. And this is why we have to remind ourselves that we need to stand up and be heard, because the other side is not sitting by meekly."

Media Relations Executive and Convention Spokesperson, Mark A. Skoda stated, "Having Lou Dobbs join this convention as a headline speaker is an exciting development. He brings a passionate yet reasoned perspective to the discussion that will challenge the delegates while at the same time providing real value. And of course, he has been talked about being a candidate for office, either on a statewide basis or nationally. We are looking forward to his insights and his frank dialogue."

The Convention will feature well-known speakers, training sessions on practical skills, such as fundraising, organizing, countering the left’s racism charges and finding conservative voters. The Convention will also have the first “Tea Party Nation Conservative Film Festival,” which will showcase and honor conservative filmmakers and conservative films. Saturday evening we will host a Traditional American Concert and Symposium.

The Tea Party Unity Convention will be held July 15-17 at The Palazzo Las Vegas Resort and Convention Center in Las Vegas Nevada. The purpose of the convention is to be a unifying event for the Tea Party movement in the run up to the fall congressional elections.
