Tea Party Summit Highlights
Over 300 TEA group members and conservatives assembled over the weekend of May 21 – 23 in Wilmington, including seven Lee County patriots. The event was sponsored by Americans for Prosperity, the John Locke Foundation, and the J. W. Pope Civitas Institute.
Highlights of the weekend included guest speakers Mary Katharine Ham (who appears weekly on the Bill O'Reilly Show) and Michael Barone, political analyst. Lee County's Shannon Gurwitch is pictured here with Mary Katharine Ham.
The weekend was packed with training sessions such as message development, volunteer recruitment, precinct training, using new and evolving technologies, and Get Out Our Vote campaigns.
A Town Hall session was moderated by Lee County's Chad Adams who now has his own weekly conservative radio talk show, "The Big Talker" in Wilmington.
Attendees left energized anxious to implement the strategies they learned in the sessions.
