Liberty Central Founder and Conservative Advocate Ginni Thomas Joins

Virginia Tea Party Patriots Convention’s Speakers

[Stafford, Va.] – Virginia (Ginni) Lamp Thomas, a long-time conservative advocate with a unique perspective on Washington D.C. politics, is the latest prominent speaker to sign on to appear at the Virginia Tea Party Patriots Convention on Oct. 8-9, sponsored by the Virginia Tea Party Patriots Federation, which includes John Adams Patriots of Stafford, VA.

Thomas is the founder and president of the recently-formed nonprofit group Liberty Central, which aims to “harness the power of citizen voices, inform everyday Americans with knowledge, and activate them to preserve liberty,” according to the organization’s Web site, www.LibertyCentral.org.

“Too many decisions over our lives are now being made in Washington,” Thomas said. “This is a historic time when we will decide, most directly, if this nation will be self-governed by the Constitution or ruled by an elite who want to impose their preferences on us. Tea party groups are America’s political first responders and I am excited to join those in my own state at this important and timely convention!”

“We are thrilled to add yet another voice for liberty, that of Ginni Thomas to an impressive and growing list of prominent speakers for this year’s convention,” John Adams Patriots Director of Marketing, Dennis Gill, says. “Ginni, like all of our speakers has proven to be a tireless defender of liberty and democracy, the most recent example of this is her founding of Liberty Central.  We are excited to have her and look forward to hearing Ginni’s insights into how we in the TEA Party can best focus our efforts during this upcoming election season and beyond.”, Dennis added.

Thomas is a lawyer who has served in a number of roles over the past three decades, including congressional aide and policy analyst, legal advisor for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, U.S. Labor Department employee in the George H.W. Bush administration and Heritage Foundation liaison during the George W. Bush Administration. She is married to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and she was by his side during his contentious Senate hearings before his confirmation by a 52-48 vote.

The Virginia Tea Party Patriots Convention, themed “The Constitution Still Matters,” will be held at the Greater Richmond Convention Center on Oct. 8-9, 2010, just a month before the mid-term Congressional elections.

A Corporate Titan and a Tea Party Grass-Roots Phenom

Sign on to Speak at Virginia Tea Party Patriots Convention

Stafford, VA – Two prominent thought leaders with very different backgrounds – Herman Cain and Jenny Beth Martin – will speak at the Virginia Tea Party Patriots Convention on Oct. 8-9, sponsored by the Virginia Tea Party Patriots Federation, which includes John Adams Patriots of Stafford, VA.

Herman Cain is a corporate giant, author and one of America’s leading voices for fiscal restraint and limited government. During a career of more than 40 years, Cain served as president and chairman of Godfather Pizza, vice president of systems for Pillsbury Co., chairman of the board for the National Restaurant Association, member of the National Commission on Economic Growth and Tax Reform (chaired by Jack Kemp) and chairman and member of the Board of Directors for the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. Today, Herman hosts “The Herman Cain Show” on radio and is a FOX News Business Commentator. He also is president and CEO of THE New Voice, Inc. leadership consulting company and serves on the boards of directors for AGCO Corp., Hallmark Cards Inc., Whirlpool Corp., the George Chamber of Commerce and Morehouse College. In 2004, Cain ran for the United States Senate from Georgia.

Jenny Beth Martin also has risen to prominence among Tea Party and Patriot group supporters. Martin, 39, is a wife and mother of two young children. Her family was personally experiencing the effects of this recession in the suburbs of Atlanta when she helped launch the Tea Party Patriots organization in early 2009. The Tea Party Patriots’ seek to attract, educate, organize, and mobilize citizens in support of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets. In April, Time magazine named Martin to the “2010 Time 100” list of “people who most affect our world” in light of her tremendous impact on the grass-roots Tea Party movement. Martin is a national coordinator for Tea Party Patriots and co-coordinator for the Atlanta Tea Party.

“Herman Cain’s success as a corporate leader for more than 40 years demonstrates his tremendous leadership skills which he is now using as an advocate for fiscal restraint and limited, unobtrusive government” John Adams Patriots Director of Marketing, Dennis Gill says.  “Mr. Cain is keenly aware that job creation and economic growth comes out of the private sector, not the federal government” Dennis added.

“Jenny Beth Martin is an inspiration to all of us, and she proves that individuals in this country can make a difference” Dennis says. “Like all of us in the TEA Party movement, Jenny Beth is answering the call to action just as so many have throughout America’s history, driven by a love of country and a passion for the principles and ideals that have made America the great country she is.”

“Herman Cain and Jenny Beth Martin are sure to inspire, motivate and energize those of us in attendance at the Virginia Tea Party Patriots Convention,” Dennis said.

Director of Marketing of John Adams Patriots, Dennis Gill, says, “As a political insider, Dick Morris has had the opportunity to witness in person how the politicians in Washington DC operate with perceived impunity while legislating on behalf of the special interest lobby. We are privileged to have him impart on us some of the lessons he has learned as a political strategist and former member of the Clinton inner circle.”

“Mr. Morris will help educate the Virginia Tea Party Patriot Convention attendees about the perilous direction that America is headed in and what we can and should do about the politicians who are taking us towards economic disaster,” Dennis continued.

“We’re also pleased to have John Fund speaking at the Virginia Tea Party Patriots Convention,” Dennis continued. “Mr. Fund has been a leading voice for fiscal restraint and reform in politics and government for more than 20 years. Like many of us, he has called for common sense in D.C., a message that has fallen on deaf ears inside the beltway but one that will clearly resonate well with the attendees at our convention.”
