Contact: Frederic O’Neal (407) 719-6796

(Orlando) - Florida has a new political party joining the political fray – The Tea Party (TEA).

The Florida Secretary of State has certified the TEA Party as an official political party, joining the Democrat and Republican Party’s in providing alternatives to Florida voters.

Building on the incredible success of Conservative/Tea Party candidate Doug Hoffman in the recent New York 23rd Congressional race, the TEA Party will be offering similar quality candidates in various Florida contests.

“Over the past year or more, we have seen a growing disenchantment with the existing two-party system. The current system has become mired in the sludge of special interest money that seeks to control the leadership of both parties. It’s time for real change,” stated Orlando attorney Frederic O’Neal, founder and Chairman of the TEA Party.

The TEA Party is currently interviewing potential candidates for various statewide positions, including the United States Congress; the Florida House and Senate as well as local positions.

“So many people have cried out for a real choice in the political arena, The TEA Party will help provide taxpayers the opportunity to compare and contrast with candidates from other parties. It’s no more ‘business as usual’ in Florida, now there will a choice,” O’Neal concluded.

The TEA Party will be launching its website www.FloridaTeaParty.us within the next several weeks.

Individuals interested in joining the TEA Party or seeking the TEA Party nomination for the 2010 elections should contact Chairman O’Neal at (407) 719-6796.
