“Americans for Prosperity
Americans for Tax Reform
Freedom works”
These are some groups the Tea Party needs to distance itself FAR away from!
Freedom works...DICK ARMEY, trying to hijack the movement for $$$$! Open border advocates.
Americans for Tax Reform...GROVER NORQUIST...RUN, Run fast, as far from this as possible! He wrote Bush’s Amnesty.
Americans for Prosperity...More Dick Armey, questionable ties
[snip]Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is a conservative think-tank established in Washington, D.C. in 2003. It replaced the Citizens for a Sound Economy Foundation. AFP is the sister organization to FreedomWorks. FreedomWorks is an organization that formed in 2004 when Citizens for a Sound Economy merged with the think tank Empower America. Both the Citizens for a Sound Economy and Citizens for a Sound Economy Foundation were created by the Koch Foundations.

Thank You. You just made my point. Why is this such a big secret to TPM supporters.
Why would they annouce to FOX BEFORE announcing move on FR.
Can’t stand the scrutiny at FR.
FR veting process the best in the world.
Those are the three I would have said. I have heard pitches from Americans for Prosperity — try asking them a question about the government and how it works and you get hmmm but they are quick to make sure you know you can donate.
One guy that spoke to my women’s group, I would donate a penny to any group he was part of. He found his niche living off donations without knowing anything.
I feel the same way about Americans for Tax Reform and Freedom Works — get emails all the time asking for money along with several others.
You are not kidding if you see Norquist run away — feel 100% the same way.
Wondered how long it was going to take to see this happen considering some of the people running some of the organizations.
Monitor PACs and have noticed most of the new organizations spend more on fundraising and their own expenses then they give a paltry sum to candidates. My donations go to candidates because at least it is easy to find out what they are doing with the money.
