SRA Readies for July 4 TEA Party
Press Release

Mission Viejo, CA, June 27, 2009 – Saddleback Republican Assembly members are finalizing plans for Mission Viejo’s July 4th TEA Party. The TEA Party program will take place from 7 to 8:30 p.m. near the intersection of Olympiad Road and Melinda Road.

The group will sponsor other activities beginning at noon outside the gates of Mission Viejo’s annual Fourth of July Street Faire, which culminates with a fireworks display at 9:00 p.m. The city’s Faire will be held on a closed-off section of Olympiad Road between Marguerite Parkway and Melinda Road.

The 7 p.m. TEA Party program was relocated to an area near the east entrance to the Faire (on Olympiad Road at Melinda Road) after city hall indicated it would not allow any activity on public property west of the Faire’s entrance.

Beginning at 7 p.m., emcee Jeff Morrow will introduce speakers, and Diamond Tom will provide live music. TEA Party participants are invited to bring a sign to hold or a flag to wave during the rally.

SRA members and other TEA Party Patriots will have tables outside both entrances to the Faire to offer voter registration and opportunities to sign letters of protest and the petition to recall Mission Viejo Councilman Lance MacLean. SRA welcomes help throughout the day, and participants can get started anytime after 12 noon by coming to SRA’s tables.

Updates and other announcements about the Mission Viejo July 4th TEA Party will be posted on MissionViejoCA.org and distributed to newspapers, the MissionViejoDispatch.com and the county’s premier blog, OrangeJuiceBlog.com.
