Mark Meckler: Founder of the Tea Party Patriots
POSTPONED
Mark Meckler, Co-founder and National Coordinator, Tea Party Patriots; Co-author, Tea Party Patriots: The Second American Revolution
In 2009, an unemployed mother of two and a politically inexperienced California attorney met on a conference call that would result in one of the largest and most controversial political organizations in the U.S., the Tea Party Patriots. Promoting the basic principles of the Tea Party Movement: free markets, limited government, and fiscal responsibility, the Tea Party Patriots first turned heads by organizing citizen opposition against health-care reform in 2009. One of the Party founders, Mark Meckler, has been on the national radar ever since. Join us as he seeks to explain how the Tea Party evolved, what the party has in store for the election year, and the movement’s detailed plan to change the country. Are we in the midst of another American Revolution? Join us and decide for yourself.
