Rupert Wyble, left, and Jack Montrose spent Saturday morning handing out information promoting Tuesday's Tea Party Express that will be in Fallon on Tuesday.
The Tea Party Express is ready to roll into Fallon on Tuesday.
The party train started on Saturday in San Diego and tours through Nov. 11.
The group will cross the country, stopping in 17 states, to deliver the groups' message of lower federal government spending.
Rupert Wyble, a nine-year Fallon resident, helped spread the word on Saturday at the Ace Hardware parking lot. Wyble and company passed out fliers and spread information about the upcoming event.
“The national express is coming in, and they have their own goals, but ours is to reign in spending,” Wyble said. “We're concerned with the bailouts and TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) money.”
According to Wyble, the group is a nonpartisan organization trying to deliver its message to politicians in Washington, D.C. Wyble said speakers at Tuesday's event will not give a speech slanted toward a specific party but rather focus on individuals in Congress who vote for higher spending, bailouts and government-run health care.
Wyble said the group is a conservative movement, but if people on the left side of the political aisle want to join, they are more than welcome.
On Tuesday, however, Wyble said the group plans to have numerous local leaders speak as well as some national members of the Tea Party.
“Anybody can come, anybody can speak,” Wyble said. “We don't want politicans because we're nonpartisan. A lot of the Republicans are as bad as Democrats.”
The event runs from 5-7 p.m., at the old Walmart parking lot next to Safeway on Williams Ave. For information about the Tea Party, log on to www.teapartyexpress.com.
