merrie says:

Organizers of the Tea Party Express said the health care issue has crystallized support for the movement. President Obama will address a joint session of Congress on that topic next week.

The tour will make a "whistle stop" scheduled for 2:45 p.m. at an Interstate 30 rest stop in Mount Vernon, Texas; then will continue to Little Rock, Arkansas at 6 p.m. and Memphis, Tennessee at 10 p.m.
