Mike George, Founder of Strong America Now, to Speak at 'Gateway to November' Tea Party Rally

DALLAS, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On September 12th, 2010, when Tea Party patriots gather at three regional rallies in St. Louis, Washington DC and Sacramento to call for the restoration of the principles which created the United States, they will hear Mike George, founder of Strong America Now, tell them that the single most important issue is federal spending, the federal deficit and the federal debt. Mr. George wants every candidate for federal office to take a pledge to eliminate the deficit by cutting spending not raising taxes, and he wants every Tea Party member and every American to know how this can be done successfully. "We, as Americans, must demand responsibility from our leaders," said Mr. George "They will act responsibly only if we present them with a clear way to cut spending and eliminate waste and hold them accountable."

Mike George, a successful businessman who sold his company to Accenture, is one of the world's leading experts on reducing the costs associated with business and government processes. "I want to commend the St. Louis Tea Party and the Tea Party Patriots across the country for their hard work, dedication and efforts in supporting this cause. Thank you for letting us join this vital group of people who are dedicated to making a real difference in this country. You are fighting for our economic freedom. I urge each one of you to get in the game and educate yourself on this urgent matter that is facing our country," said Mr. George. "There is near universal agreement for the first time in a lifetime about the need to balance the federal budget and to reduce spending, but there is widespread lack of understanding about how to actually do it."

Mr. George's former company, the George Group, was the prime contractor assisting the U.S. Army and Navy to reduce wasteful spending, which resulted in a savings of several billion dollars per year. That same method, when applied across the entire federal government, would result in cost- savings of 1.5 trillion dollars per year. Mr. George is a pioneer in applying the Lean Six Sigma method and author of seven books on cost reduction and quality improvement.

The 9/12 rally in St. Louis will be held under the Gateway Arch with speakers and music on the Riverfront Stage. Music will begin at noon; speakers to begin at 1 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. KFTK 97.1 FM Talk serves as the official radio sponsor.

Strong America Now is a grass roots advocacy organization dedicated to enlisting citizens and explaining how financial spending can be reduced, the deficit eliminated and the budget balanced. Strong America Now believes this is the only proven method and that garner support from both sides of the political aisle. The federal budget is not a Republican or Democrat issue, it is an American issue. Visit the website at www.strongamericanow.com.
