The phone call came yesterday. Sal Russo, chief political strategist for the Tea Party Express on the line. “We just got through wrapping the buses and your picture is on them. So I hope you’re coming on this next tour,” he joked.

Are you kidding? This is only historic. This is only the most important election of our lifetime. I feel privileged to be playing a part in something as amazing as meeting fellow Americans across this beautiful land of ours, to do my part in encouraging them in this battle to take back America at the ballot box. In fact, that’s the name and theme of this tour — Liberty at the Ballot Box.

Just as we did before during the Tea Party Express’ third tour last Spring, I will be blogging about the trip and hosting my radio show from the road. And though he won’t physically be with us on the bus, show producer and blogger Dave Logan will be right there, managing blogging and radio program communications from our Northern Command post in the Sacramento area.

So the buses are wrapped with the familiar Tea Party Express logo, the drivers are fueling up and on Monday, Oct. 18th, we’ll be wheels turning for a 14 day, 28-rally trip that’ll take us through 17 states to stops from Reno to Concord, NH. Should be a beautiful ride!

I hope you’ll join us when we come to your area. We put on a heckuva show and we look forward to meeting you, shaking your hand and looking you in the eye, patriot-to-patriot. Here’s the schedule. Specific sites will be announced as we get closer to the dates. You can get more information at Tea Party Express.org and you can follow along with us at Tea Party Express.tv.

See you there!
