Gingrich to Address Pasadena Town Hall Meeting on Monday

Republican Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich will hold a Town Hall-style meeting at 5:00 pm on Monday, February 13. The evening’s theme and discussion will be “Making California Count” as the race for the GOP nomination heats up and approaches Super Tuesday on March 1.

The event is open to the general public and will be hosted by The Romanesque Room at the Historic Castle Green Hotel, 50 E. Green Street, Pasadena, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.  The Town Hall meeting is sponsored by TeaPAC, a Tea Party organization headquartered in Pasadena, Calif.

“With 45 primaries and caucuses left to go, we are a long way from the GOP presidential nomination,” Michael Alexander, President of TeaPAC said. “Decisive victory will come from the citizens of the Republican Party. We want the conservatives in California to know they have a choice this November.”

The former Speaker of the House has chosen Pasadena as the first stop on his California trip. Mr. Gingrich is acutely aware of the value that Californians bring to the great debate taking place in America. Gingrich has proposed bold policy initiatives in energy, jobs, debt and taxes in an effort to distinguish himself as a Reagan conservative. Gingrich has been an avid supporter of Tea Party groups and Patriots in Southern California since 2008. This will be his third visit to TeaPAC in Pasadena.

The last time Gringrich spoke in Pasadena in early September, 2011 it was before a jam-packed crowd of over 300. In that speech he referred to President Barack Obama as the “most effective food stamp president in American History,” and called for a freeze on all tax rates.

TeaPAC launched a new website to bolster Get-Out-the-Vote efforts and volunteer sign-ups with the upcoming California primary and the presidential election in November. Volunteers are preparing for what TeaPAC leadership is calling “Battle: Los Angeles.” Alexander notes that “Los Angeles County represents the balance of political power in California. If a candidate wins the county of Los Angeles he or she wins the state.”

This is why conservatives and Tea Party activists in Southern California say they are optimistic regarding the upcoming elections.

“There is a lot of work to do, but we have some very motivated and energized citizens in the greater Los Angeles area,” said Alexander.
