This is another in a series of efforts that Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) has seen by Tea Party activists, leaders, and groups across America on Islam, in Tennessee, in New York City, in Brooklyn, and in California. This has included a planned mosque protest in Temecula, California on July 30 by a group that calls itself the Southwest Riverside County (SWRC) Tea Party Citizens in Action group.
The NE Tarrant, Texas Tea Party web page also promotes opposition to the 45-51 Park Place mosque in NYC.
This July 29 event in Southlake, Texas is clearly promoted on the national Tea Party Patriots web site, which also links to national Tea Party organizations.
