Follow on Google News | Mitchell Honors Veterans, Fort Hood Victims With Tea Party SpeechGubernatorial Candidate John Paul Mitchell makes first major public appearance to honor Fort Hood victims on Veteran's Day at the Arizona State Capitol
By: Mitchell for Arizona For nearly six months, Mitchell has engaged Arizona taxpayers and voters online via Facebook, Twitter, and his candidate website. He understands his first campaign speech is important. "I'd like to pay tribute to our county's veterans, honor the fallen soldiers at Fort Hood, and discuss the constant attacks on the people's constitutional rights," said Mitchell, who is running as an independent candidate. Approximately 5,000 veterans and Arizonans are expected to gather at the Arizona State Capitol on Wednesday, November 11th. This event could be the last tea party demonstration of the year. The rally begins at 12:30 p.m. and will last till 2:30 p.m. Other notable speakers include State Rep. Debbie Lesko, Debbie Lee of America's Mighty Warriors, Paul Porter of WFOY, and Clint Bolick, Director of the Goldwater Institute. This non-partisan tea party will focus on honoring veterans, upholding the U.S. Constitution, and unifying members of all political parties and philosophies. Tea party goers are encouraged to bring canned foods to donate to the St. Mary's Food Bank. This is a great opportunity for demonstrators to ensure the needy and homeless have ample food for the 2009 holidays. End
