Tea Party Express V wrapped up in Tampa this past Monday with the CNN Republican candidate debate.
At RenewAmerica.com, stalwart Tea Partier Lloyd Marcus provides encouragement for the future, and reflects on his experiences during this latest tour: Tea Party Express V: a spiritual thing ~
 

Many patriots across America emotionally told me of their frustration with the liberal media’s erroneous portrayal of the Tea Party and their burden to share the good news of conservatism with black America.
 
While black attendance at the rallies is growing, the majority of the audiences are still white. The liberal media attempts to use this fact to prove the Tea Party is racist. I believe it proves the majority of black voters are racist, not the Tea Party. Every black I have spoken with at Tea Parties said they were in attendance because they took an honest look at Obama, the man and his policies, rather than worshiping Obama’s skin color. This is the behavior of honorable people — true patriots.

 
Marcus also stresses a timeless truth; the importance of prayer, and renewing our faith in God and His providence, to restore and heal our land.

Brother and sister patriots, our extraordinary Tea Party movement is without a doubt divinely inspired. I say to you what I have said to patriots at approximately 30 rallies across America over the past two weeks: keep doing what you are doing, stay hopeful, trust God, and pray for our country. We are growing and winning. We will defeat Barack Hussein Obama and the evil emanating from his administration come November 2012.
