    Thanks for that Mark.



    The nation's largest tea party coalition has decided to jump into the immigration debate and back Arizona's new law.

    The leaders of Tea Party Patriots have long said they won't get into social issues like immigration that could divide their base. Their Contract From America purposely hovers around their three core issues: small government, free markets, and individual liberty.

    But as the new Arizona law fueled a nationwide debate over immigration, the Patriots decided to put their involvement up for a vote. Members who took part in a national conference call voted unanimously in favor of joining the debate.

    "Like everything we do, we went to our membership," Mark Meckler, a national coordinator for the Patriots, said. "This is not a racial issue. It's a matter of national sovereignty."

    The Patriots plan to take part in a rally on May 29 at the Arizona Diamondbacks stadium in Phoenix.

    The baseball team has been targeted by immigrant rights groups who are boycotting Arizona. Those groups are also planning events on the same day.

    They plan to march to the state capitol in Phoenix while the tea partyers hold their rally.
