Mission Viejo Group Plans July 4 TEA Party
Press Release

On Sun., July 4, Saddleback Republican Assembly invites everyone to an Independence Day rally. SRA, which organized Mission Viejo’s April 15 Taxed Enough Already (TEA) Party, is planning a 90-minute rally from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on July 4.

The purpose of the July 4 TEA Party is to build on the national taxpayer protest movement, which is fashioned after the Boston Tea Party of 1773. SRA’s April 15 Tax Day Protest attracted approximately 700 participants.

The July 4th rally will be held on the corners of Marguerite Parkway and Olympiad Road in Mission Viejo. The intersection is near the northwest end of Lake Mission Viejo. A nearby event will be the city’s July 4th Street Faire, which takes place on a section of Olympiad Road east of Marguerite Parkway.

Although protest signs will be provided during the rally, Tea Party participants are invited to bring a sign of their own making or an American flag to wave. The peaceful protest is suitable for families and people of all ages. Following the rally, a fireworks display nearby will begin at 9:00 p.m.

Updates and other announcements about SRA's July 4th TEA Party will be posted on MissionViejoCA.org and distributed to newspapers, the MissionViejoDispatch.com and OrangeJuiceBlog.com.
