The Tea Party Express (www.TeaPartyExpress.org) announced today that more than 100 local tea party, 912 and conservative groups representing every state in the nation have signed on to cosponsor the groundbreaking Tea Party Presidential Debate on September 12, 2011.

The debate will take place in Tampa, Florida - a crucial state in the Republican presidential primary and the 2012  election.

Earlier this year, it was announced that Tea Party Express was teaming up with CNN to host the only national Tea Party debate, which will have a sharp focus on the core tea party issues of fiscal responsibility. Republican presidential candidates vying for the support of the tea party movement and would focus exclusively on the core tea party issues of fiscal responsibility.

"We are absolutely thrilled to have the power and influence of so many tea party co-sponsors in every state." said Tea Party Express Chairman Amy Kremer. "Tea party members across the country are more aware and engaged than ever. We are watching the presidential race very carefully, and preparing to support the best candidate that offers real solutions that will help secure the future prosperity of America."

Chief Strategist Sal Russo said, "Our expectation is that with the entire tea party movement engaged in this debate, candidates will emerge with strong tea party support and the momentum to win the Republican nomination. The many groups are looking to coalesce behind a constitutional conservative who can articulate clear vision and a way forward for the country."

Kremer and Russo are in Manchester, NH for the CNN/WMUR/New Hampshire Union Leader presidential debate. To schedule an interview with Kremer or Russo about the New Hampshire debate, contact Levi Russell at Levi@FrontlineStrat.com or
