The Cedar Valley Tea Party will host it’s first Presidential Straw Poll!
The event will be held 6:30 PM -- 8 PM on Tuesday, Dec. 13, at the PIPAC Center:
1521 Technology Pkwy
Cedar Falls, IA 50613
There is no charge for the event and it is open to the public. For more information, contact Saul at (319) 504-1771 or judd@cedarvalleyteaparty.com.
The Cedar Fall straw poll comes on the heels of Texas Rep. Ron Paul winning the Dubuque Tea Party presidential straw poll Dec. 1.
Approximately 90 Dubuque Tea Party members were in attendance. Five elimination rounds of voting took place and in round five Paul defeated Newt Gingrich 59 to 24. Paul led the voting in all five rounds, for example winning 49 votes in the first round.
Paul won despite his competitors Gingrich and Rick Santorum calling into the straw poll. Gingrich phoned in for five minutes and fielded three questions. In addition to phoning in for five minutes Santorum was represented by a surrogate.
Paul was represented by Dubuque Tea Party co-founder Jeff Luecke, who last June endorsed Ron Paul for the presidency.
Dubuque Tea Party co-founder Michael Heeren also has endorsed Ron Paul.
