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, where all top-tier candidates have confirmed their attendance.

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 the support of the highly engaged tea party activists.
