Video: Sarah Palin at the Nevada Tea Party in Searchlight, Nevada

Sarah Palin gave a rousing speech before thousands of cheering fans at the small town where Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was born and currently has a home.  Saturday's Tea Party was the opening shot in a 42 city campaign that will culminate in a Washington D.C. rally on April 15th.

LAS VEGAS -- Fewer taxes, less government and no "Obamacare." That's the message thousands of conservative Tea Party activists were hoping to send to Washington as they streamed into Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's hometown in Nevada Saturday morning. "Harry Reid is symbolic of the problems in Washington in the sense that he's been the leader in the Senate of all the things we've been against -- expanding the government, increasing the deficit, and raising taxes," Sal Russo, chief strategist of the Tea Party Express, told FoxNews.com. "He campaigned as a moderate but has moved so far to the left," Russo said of Reid. "Voters are tolerate of different views, but what they don't like is when someone campaigns one way and then governs by another." The Tea Party Express, one of the most visible factions of the national Tea Party Movement, officially kicked off its cross-country, 42-city bus tour with Saturday's rally.
