Tea Party rally set for Saturday - times-journal.com: DeKalb County

Posted: Monday, September 5, 2011 8:53 am

The first Sand Mountain Tea Party will gather at the Northeast Alabama Agri-Business Center on Saturday.

The keynote speaker is Jody Hice, of Bethlehem, Ga.

"Dr. Hice, in addition to being in the ministry, hosts a daily radio program titled ‘The Jody Hice Show,'" coordinator Ron Rollins said. "The show is heard in five states and is dedicated to informing listeners about moral, Constitutional and religious liberties facing our nation."

Hice is also the co-host on "There's Hope, America," a daily television program in the Atlanta area.

"Dr. Hice, also, became a leading spokesman in the fight over the right for the Ten Commandments to be posted in the courthouse in Barrow County, Ga., working closely with Chief Justice Roy Moore of Alabama," Rollins said. "He also led the challenge in Georgia against the IRS over the rights of pastors to speak out against moral and political issues from the pulpit, as the risk of losing tax exempt status."

Hice is the author of "Deeper Than Water" and his new book, "It's Now or Never: A Call to Reclaim America."

The rally will be at noon in Rainsville.
