Tea Party Nation is a for-profit corporation.
WOW, now the Tea Party is someone’s corporation.
I dare say everyone tea-party related should be vigilant to make sure that profiteers don’t step in to co-opt events or funds at any time going forward.
This convention is for Tea Party Nation, apart from the TP Movement. By Google search, you can find that it is in fact owned by one Judson Phillips (& wife), a conservative businessman. There seem to be conflicting reports that show either he was deeply in debt & saw a way to raise some big money OR an individual merely seeking to gain control of the movement.
Another who bears watching is Dick Armey, for so long pro-illegal immigration, now backtracking on it and trying to divide people within the TP movement.
