The Tea Party Convention is proud to offer a great lineup of breakout seminars to educate, motivate and activate you to be more effective in your communities and in the Tea Party movement. Our breakout seminars fall into one of three categories: 1) History/Constitution, 2) Public Policy, and 3) Grassroots Training. This list will be updated on a weekly basis as we continually add new seminars. We are grateful for the support of so many sponsors who are making this possible.

Exciting and Inspirational Additions to the Convention Lineup

The story behind the song, the spirit behind the movement. "Taking Back America - History in the Making of Music", a new documentary from filmmaker Norvell Rose, will have its world premiere at the Virginia Tea Party Patriots Convention.

"Taking Back America", a soon-to-be-released song from singer/songwriter Lloyd Marcus ("American Tea Party Anthem"), provides the basis for Rose's documentary. The song was recorded this summer at a Florida studio. Marcus invited Tea Party musicians from across the country to join him for this "Tea Are the World" event. Rose took his cameras to Deltona Records for the musical gathering, where a chorus of talented patriots raised their voices for liberty, and for a great cause - to benefit America's Mighty Warriors (http://www.americasmightywarriors.org/).

Marcus, along with music producer Frank Starchak, collected some 40 additional songs from these and other talented Tea Party musicians. Sales from this unique collection - "Tea Are the World", a 2CD set - will benefit America's Mighty Warriors, dedicated to helping military families and their loved ones.

In addition to the world premiere of the documentary - and the music video of "Taking Back America" - we are thrilled to welcome a number of volunteer Tea Party musicians featured on the two Tea Are the World CDs. These generous patriots are joining us from around the country and will perform throughout the two days of the Convention, inspiring and energizing attendees with a wide range of patriotic music.

With uplifting entertainment like this, you certainly don't want to miss the Virginia Tea Party Patriots Convention! For a sneak peek at the documentary from Norvell Rose (Hampton Roads Tea Party), view the trailer:
