SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Thousands of tea party activists are expected to gather Sunday in Sacramento and at two other major rallies around the country, as the movement's leaders look to energize conservatives before the November election.Nowhere in this story did I see anything from Beck or Palin about the CORE VALUES of the TEA Party.
Rallies also are being held in St. Louis and Washington, D.C.
Organizers say the events aim to call attention to what they describe as big government run amok and to recall the sense of national unity Americans felt the day after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
But the rallies also represent an opportunity to build momentum before the general election. The tea party is counting on its members to turn out in large numbers and prove the movement is a political force with staying power.

Tea party rallies seek momentum as elections near
*Uphold the U.S. Constitution*There was vague reference to those CORE VALUES but they are not specifically mentioned. As the Rowlett TEA Party President, Jerry Berggren, mentioned in our last meeting, ALL TEA Party members need to know these CORE VALUES by heart.
*Limited Government*
*Fiscal Responsibility*
*Free Markets*
The 'Rah-Rah' rallies are great, the high dollar speakers not taking a fee, or donating that fee back to a good cause is wonderful, but that is not all that there is to a TEA Party group.
As one person said, 'this is a lifetime commitment', let's just not forget where we came from and most of all, not forget why we came to be.
