Governor Rick Perry's not on the invitation list of those organizing an America's Tea Party rally at Southfork Ranch near Dallas on Saturday.

The organizers hope to draw 50,000 people to the venue. Perry fired up an April anti-tax "tea party" in Austin with his denunciation of the federal government and his call for state rights.

Dallas Tea Party organizers say they've accepted no support from any political party and won't allow any elected official or anyone running for office to speak.
