Tom Perriello to address Jefferson Area Tea Party on Thursday

A post on the JATP website apologizes for the sudden nature of the rally and shares the group’s most recent thoughts on Perriello

On Thursday night, Fifth District Democratic Congressman Tom Perriello will speak to members of the Jefferson Area Tea Party (JATP) during the group’s monthly meeting. A press release from Perrielo’s campaign director, Jessica Barba, says the congressman will answer questions and meet with voters at 6:30pm at the Arby’s restaurant near Forest Lakes, 1700 Timberwood Boulevard.

On August 7, the JATP organized a protest rally in opposition to Congress’ $26.1 billion fiscal aid bill at the Carysbook Performing Arts Center. A post on the JATP website apologizes for the sudden nature of the rally and shares the group’s most recent thoughts on Perriello:

"We apologize for the short notice," says the post, "but we feel it’s important enough to make a strong statement—not to mention to keep the heat on Tom Perriello all August long!" In March, a propane line was severed at the home of Perriello’s brother after an incorrect address was posted by blogger Mike Troxel, a member of the Lynchburg Area Tea Party. Multiple tea party groups from the area spoke out against Troxel’s mistake.
