Tea Party Review magazine to debut By Rachel Rose Hartman rachel Rose Hartman 54 mins ago

Billing itself as the "first national magazine for, by and about the Tea Party Movement" a new periodical called the Tea Party Review debuts this week at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C.

But as befits the incendiary movement that lends the publication its name, the magazine's founders want to stress that while they're touting the publication at one of the biggest Republican events of the year, it doesn't mean that they're down-the-ticket Republican supporters.

"I'm not a huge fan of the GOP," Tea Party Review's national grassroots director Katrina Pierson told The Ticket.

Pierson made clear that her group had chosen CPAC as the venue for the magazine's launch because of the event's profile. Having a presence at CPAC is an opportunity to get the debut issue into the hands of conservatives, "the base of the tea party," in Pierson's words. Pierson and her colleagues are looking to recruit an activist corps of subscribers for $34.95 a year.

Pierson said her group hit upon the idea the magazine to fill a void in the tea party movement, which prides itself on its grassroots foundation and lack of any formal leadership structure. Pierson says she hopes the Tea Party Review will serve as a forum for both political debate as well as more practical matters such as tips on how to organize.

The TP at CPAC?

Bad move!

Like the NRA, these folks like to bolster their claim to being nonpartisan by remaining neutral or endorsing a rat in your district once in a while. Tough, don't whine, they hate whiners they like to say.

let me guess that libertarians and gheys are still trying to subvert the TEA party and conservative movmement and this is probably a part of that.

$34.95 a year.

Not bad considering People Mag is well over 100 bucks a year (although weekly). However, I think that they should do an online magazine instead of a paper issue as it is a very difficult business to stay afloat especially when you are starting at a base of trying to sell to 40 percent of the population (conservatives make up 40 percent of the U.S. I believe).

I am not fond of having any organization pretending to speak for the tea party (lower case on purpose). The tea party is spontaneous, loosely organized around social media channels, and fairly amorphous, with its sole defining characteristic being an undying devotion to an American past, present and future as expressed in the Constitution in its original intents and purposes.

That is why the lamestream media has such a hard time defining and destroying it. That’s why I want to keep it that way.

No formal organization or leadership. Otherwise, we will just rename it.

I agree about the Tea Party being a grass-roots organization, with no formal leadership, however I believe there is room for a magazine in which Tea Party "members" (you're a member if you say you are) can exchange ideas.

I wonder about the wisdom of starting a "dead tree" magazine at this time, though. Lots of magazines are switching to digital. I think they would have been wise to start off tht way.

Wow.

A RINO magazine that supports antiSemitism, sharia,
illegal immigration, RomneyCARE and who knows what else,
but is “not a huge fan of the GOP”?

So is it from DU, Romney, or Obama?
