San Antonio's Independence Day Tea Party

The San Antonio Tea Party Executive Committee is in negotiations to secure the Rio Cibolo Ranch as a venue for a traditional 4^th of July celebration, as part of our continuing program of rallies, gatherings and protests. The Rio Cibolo Ranch is located near the old town of Zuehl, just off IH10 East, about twenty-five minutes drive from downtown San Antonio (see this map).

A day of traditional Texas summer activities and games is being planned, with barbeque and live music, all culminating with a firework display after sundown. All of this is a backdrop for the serious purpose of the Tea Party, which is to educate attendees and their families on the limits and responsibilities of the government as outlined in the Constitution.

This event follows our wildly successful Tea Party Tax Day protest on April 15^th in Alamo Plaza, and is timed to coincide with other 4^th of July Tea Parties which are scheduled or being planned, both locally and nationally.

Other possible venues are also being explored in case an agreement cannot be reached. These other venues might also be used for other Tea Party events.
