President Obama is coming to the state and Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal says he "look[s] forward to welcoming the President of the United States to Connecticut.''
But he's not the only one who has the President's Sept. 16 fundraising visit circled on the calendar.
"Save the date folks!'' says the email sent out by the Connecticut Tea Party Patriots just a few hours the date for Obama's visit was set.
"On September 16th, President Obama is coming to Connecticut to campaign for Blumy, and to raise money for the democratic party, and we are going to give him a TEA PARTY WELCOME! He will be in Stamford AND Greenwich in two separate events that day, so stay tuned for details. We plan on having tea party protests at BOTH events. As soon as we know exactly when and where, we'll let you know!"
