Russ, no doubt you are the reason the parties there are coming together. These local groups have to have strong leadership in order to be effective. We have a strong local T.E.A. party that meets once a month. We have focused on local issues for the most part. We believe that the work has to be done bottom up. Our leader is a former Marine, so you can imagine we have a good group. He was instrumental in getting our county a delegate and it turned out to be him. This county has never had it’s own delegate. We had to share with another county. Our group worked to get our guys elected. Both of them were members of our party. We are still active and will be working to elect Shelley Moore Capito for Rocky’s Senate seat, and our own choice to replace Shelley in 2014. It’s going to take time and effort to change things, from the county to state to national. It will take all the Tea Parties doing this locally to finally prevail in getting our country back. The progressives took 100 years to take over. We will need patience and perseverance.
Right on Nan! And good for you and your group.
We have had few victories but we did defeat a liberal dem and replaced her with a good Conservative in congress this year.
We elected a new county comptroller that just started and is already kicking butt exposing multi millions in hidden expenditures on day 2 of his new job.
Elected a few to the NY Senate and Assembly so little by little we are gaining but, here in NY sometimes it is 2 steps forward one step back.
We have been successful in holding their feet to the fire.
