FRESNO TO HOST FARMER RELIEF RALLY - Be There to Save the Valley!

PRESS RELEASE
Date: November 20, 2009
Date of Event: November 22, 2009
Contact: Jared Gordon
Location: Fresno Fair, Commerce Building
Press Inquiries: media@centralvalleyteaparty.com
Time: Noon to 4:00 P.M.

FRESNO TO HOST FARMER RELIEF RALLY
Fresno – The Central Valley Tea Party will be hosting the Farmer Relief Rally on Sunday, November 22 from noon to 4 P.M. in the Fresno Fairgrounds Commerce Building. The Farmer Relief Rally will be an opportunity for the Central Valley Tea Party and the people of Fresno to thank the thousands of Tea Party Patriots across the country that have donated food and funds to help those in need as a result of the government-caused drought on the Valley’s Westside.

For several weeks, Tea Party groups have been relaying across the country to bring donated food and
funds to the Central Valley, holding Tea Party rallies along the way. Three different relay routes, a
Northern route beginning in New England, a Central route starting in Kentucky, and a Southern route
starting in North Carolina, all have caravans scheduled to arrive at the Farmer Relief Rally during the
event. The Central Valley Tea Party has also been collecting food donations at locations around the
Valley for the past two weeks. Donated food and funds will be given to the Community Food Bank, and other supplies will be distributed by Water for All and the Central Valley Tea Party directly on a later date.
“When the other Tea Partiers around the country heard about our plight here in the Central Valley, they
realized that their livelihoods could also be threatened by government overregulation and overreach,”
explained Central Valley Tea Party coordinator Jared Gordon. He continued, “the Tea Party Patriots
really stepped up to help out the Valley farmers, farm workers, and everyone else dependent on farming whose livelihoods have been destroyed by environmental activists and government taking away water they had relied on for generations, and we are extremely grateful for all the help that Tea Partiers from around the country have given to our Valley.”

Doors open at noon with live music. The speaker program will begin at 2 P.M. The list of speakers and
presenters include: the Hon. Congressman Devin Nunes, Larry Naritelli, Piedad Ayala, Andrew Ian
Dodge, Daniel Blackford, Kevin Jackson, Robin Stublen, along with National Tea Party Patriots
Coordinators Jenny Beth Martin and Mark Meckler.

Central Valley Tea Party Action Night #3 ; Come and get involved!

Here's a message from Steve Brandau (aka "Steve the Carpet Cleaner") for all  Central Valley Patriots:

Action Night3
Tuesday, November 10th
6pm-8pm
At the Dante Club in Fresno

Here's the Map to Dante Club


Hey everyone.  A couple things about Action Night next tuesday.  We are still looking for a couple of commercial coffee makers that can handle a hundred coffee drinkers!  If you have access to one that would be kool.  It would stop us from buying or renting one. 

Also Please RSVP if you will be joining us.  That way we will know how many chairs to set up and how many cookies to have there for everyone!  You can RSVP by emailing me at Steve@centralvalleyteaparty.com     I may not get back with you for a couple days but at least I can kinda get a head count.

Finally help us get the word out.  If you were at Boot Camp you know about the big events coming up... but it is a busy time of year and easy to miss a couple things on the calender.  Call your Tea Party family and friends and make sure they know about Action Night next tuesday!  - Steve Brandau

We Need You at Action Night 3
