I went to one of their seminars in... September? It was pretty informal. I knew a lot of what was covered already, but I did learn a little about targeting different areas for individual candidates. Probably common knowledge to those well versed in campaign strategies, which many of the tea partiers I know *are not* (well versed). Our trainer did state the AM was a non-partisan organization, FWIW.

I have no doubt that *NOW* they are in fact running training seminars... to cash in.

But they are pretending to be leaders in the tea party movement and pretending to speak for the tea party movement.

There are lots of people who provide candidate training and political training. More power to them. But they are not tea party leaders and have not played any significant role in the tea party movement. So they cannot pretend to speak for tea party protestors.
