Rebellious Arizona -- the Perfect Venue for Next Week's Tea Party Summit
http://www.politicsdaily.com/2011/02/14/rebellious-arizona-the-perfect-venue-for-next-weeks-tea-part/

Arizona -- with its battles over immigration and its liberal gun laws -- has become something of a poster child for the anti-government movement. Which is why the Tea Party Patriots, the largest tea party group in the country, will hold their American Policy Summit at the Phoenix Convention Center Feb. 25-27.

Earlier this month, Arizona Senate President Russell Pearce introduced a bill in the Legislature that would allow a 12-person committee to vote on when federal law applies to Arizona. It includes "federal statutes, mandates, and executive orders." If the panel made a recommendation, the Legislature would then take a vote. If majority voted so, then nullification of the law could occur, according to bill sponsors.

The Tea Party Patriots, which claim more than 3,000 locally organized chapters and more than 15 million supporters nationwide, state on their summit website that they picked Phoenix because the state's tea party invited them and also to support Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's immigration reforms, which have been challenged by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.

On the summit's website, Sarah Palin, who isn't confirmed as a speaker, says in a promotional blurb for the event: "This summit offers a terrific opportunity for true American Patriots to hear from experts on issues like lowering taxes, balancing the budget and repealing Obamacare." Coincidentally, Palin's daughter, Bristol, recently bought a house in a Phoenix suburb.

Will Palin Announce Presidential Bid at Tea Party Conference?

Could be why she didn't attend CPAC?

3. I'd love to be a mouse in the corner of THAT get-together!
With all the radical ideas Brewer has come up with, it ought to be interesting. Palin will get her people all fired up and ready to go with new targets.

I can't believe she'd have the nerve to step inside Arizona's borders.
