The Tea Party Express (www.TeaPartyExpress.org), is pleased to announce a leading presidential candidate will join the tour this week to address the tea party audience. Michele Bachmann, who has attended rallies on previous Tea Party Express tours, will speak at the event in Des Moines, IA on Wednesday 8/31.

The Tea Party Express launched their "Reclaiming America" national tour last weekend in California, and is rolling across the country holding conservative rallies in 30 cities. The grand finale is the Tea Party Debate hosted by CNN and Tea Party Express on September 12th.

With a focus on the race for the White House, the grassroots group has offered an open invitation to candidates wishing to attend tea party rallies and ask for support from the audience of engaged tea party activists.

Further details will be released in the coming days on the numerous candidates for president that are coordinating their schedules to join Tea Party Express events across the country. The full tour schedule is available here.
