Bus tickets will again be available at Gold-N-Green Equipment Rentals located at 302 Railroad Ave, Grass Valley. The round trip tickets are still $20, cash or check only. No refunds. Everyone who taken the bus to our past events had a great time visiting with other like-minded patriots and leaving the driving to someone else. There will be plenty of room in the luggage compartment to bring chairs, umbrellas and signs. There will be plenty of venders at the event selling food and beverages. NorCal Tea Party Patriots are sponsoring this event and ask that you support the participating vendors instead of bringing extra drinks and food. Please stop by Gold-N-Green and pick up your tickets as soon as possible so that we can get an accurate count. We have reserved three busses at this time with a total of 168 seats. Don't miss out on this fun trip. ADMISSION TO THE EVENT IS FREE!!!

Busses will pick you up at the Seventh Day Adventist Church located at 12889 Osborne Hill Road, Grass Valley, CA.

Coming from Grass Valley, take Colfax Highway 174 towards Colfax and continue on past Calvary Bible Church on the right and then past Union Hills School. You will see a sign on the right (around the next curve) that says Seventh Day Adventist Church located at 12889 Osborne Hill Road, Grass Valley (corner of Osborne Hill Road and Highway 174). Turn right on Osborne Hill Road and go up the driveway to the back parking lot. The distance from the start of Highway 174 to the church is approximately two miles. Busses will be there by 9:00am and will leave no later than 9:30am. We will again have the busses leave as soon as they are filled. There are no pre-assigned busses or seats and each bus will have a bus monitor in case you have any questions.

The busses will leave Sacramento no later than 3:30pm or earlier if the bus is filled, and return to the Seventh Day Adventist Church parking lot.

You do not need to have a bus ticket in hand. When you pay for your bus seat, your name will automatically be put on our roster. No matter how many tickets you order, they will all be given to the person ordering the seats. We will have a roster with your name on it at the church and will check you off as you get on the bus. If you have any questions about the bus departure, please email elaine@mecklermail.com or call me at 272-2808. Looking forward to seeing you there.

NorCal Tea Party Patriots and Tea Party Patriots are proud to present one of only three rallies that will occur in the nation on 9/12. The Sacramento event will also be joined with rallies in St. Louis and Washington D.C. as part of a nationwide simulcast. Tea Party Patriots from throughout the Western United States including Nevada, Oregon, Arizona and Washington State will be attending. Expected attendance: 25,000 - 50,000

Rally Objective
"Recently, America has strayed from our basic principles including fiscal responsibility, limited Constitutional government and free markets; creating a high level of frustration in the American people. These conditions have caused Americans to drift away from that feeling of unity we all felt on 9-12-2001" says Ginny Rapini, National Advisor and NorCal Tea party Patriots Coordinator.

"We chose 9/12 for this event as a way to demonstrate that we have not forgotten the bonds we all felt for our country, our heritage and each other on that day. Our rally theme is United to the Finish." Rapini continues, "We do not see our commitment as a short term process. This will not be finished this November, 2012, or beyond. Actually, we see this as a lifetime struggle for all of us to preserve this precious Republic that was handed to us by our founders some 230 years ago."
