MANASSAS, Va., Feb. 4 /Christian Newswire/ -- The recent training conference of the Leadership Tea Party will be webcast by the Viguerie Marketing Institute on Saturday, February 13, from 8 AM to 8 PM Eastern time.
The conference, held in Dallas, Texas on January 29-31, consisted of 10 sessions, including the keynote address by Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com.
Among the points Viguerie made were:
· The Tea Party movement should avoid the temptation of forming a third party. It would be a disaster for the cause of freedom and limited government.
· Tea Party leaders should work to be a third force in politics in order to influence governmental policies, as well as the Republican and Democratic parties.
· For now, all Tea Partly activities should be focused on the 2010 primaries challenging every establishment Republican and Democrat.
Other topics in the Webcast conference include community organizing, dealing with the media, defeating powerful political machines, and protecting members and groups from legal pitfalls.
Nationally renowned presenters include American Liberty Alliance founder Eric Odom; Zen Conservatism author and co-founder of the St. Louis Tea Party Bill Hennessy; attorney Mark Fitzgibbons; Dallas Tea Party leader Lorie Medina; and St. Louis-based radio talk show host Dana Loesch.
The Webcast will be hosted live by Nationwide Tea Party Coalition co-founder Michael Patrick Leahy, author of Rules for Conservative Radicals. Leahy will be joined by other presenters to respond on camera during the Webcast to viewers' emailed questions.
Registration is $19.95 for the live event. A complete schedule of the February 13 Webcast and registration information is online at www.vmionline.com.
