Sfla Conservative, a local Tea Party group, says its "proudly partnering with The Liberty and Freedom Foundation" to bring the former Alaska governor to the American Airlines Arena Oct. 6 -- five days before President Barack Obama comes to town to raise money for imperiled congressional Democrats.

"Governor Palin is in Miami to raise funds to help elect principled grassroots conservatives," the announcement reads. "You are invited to get involved in this, the most critical midterm election in our Republic's history."

Tickets for the event go on sale Wednesday.
