Last night, nearly 200 people gathered outside a small street-level office just outside the leafy borough of Doylestown in Bucks County, about an hour north of Philadelphia, to celebrate the opening of one of six national “People’s Headquarters.”
These centers opened this week with the backing of American Majority Action, a non-profit based in Arlington, to provide grassroots Tea Party supporters with campaign infrastructure to bolster voter awareness and turnout in the lead up to election day.
The Kitchen Table Patriots are managing the office in Bucks County, and Battle ‘10 was there for the inauguration of the headquarters, which will be open through the end of November.
The event, which lasted more than two hours, featuring area speakers, culminating with a ribbon cutting and food platters. The following is exclusive video from Battle ‘10:
