The organizers, Tea Party Nation, made a splash by scoring big political figures to speak at the convention, to be held at the Opryland Hotel – Sarah Palin is to deliver the keynote speech.

They have also protested reports of big speaking fees for Ms. Palin – organizers have not confirmed how much she is being paid, but some reports have put it at $100,000.
