Money as usual, or?
The Koch boys owe me for the two tea parties I’ve attended. LOL
There is a TEA Party in just about every area of Texas. Go to: http://www.teapartypatriots.org/state/Texas. Then donate your time and/or money.
My gut reaction is that anyone doing telephone solicitation for the Tea Party movement should NOT be supported.
I think it is better to find local Tea Party organizations, attend their events, help out, and then maybe kick in a few bucks (or buy a t-shirt or whatever) to help them cover expenses.
Once the primaries start then support can be given directly to worthy candidates based on your own knowledge and analysis.
Outsourcing and centralization are what got us into our current predicament. We need to decentralize and take personal control to sort it out.
Only do so if you support Ron Paul and his insanity.
Most TEA Party orgs that have the name 'patriots' or 'liberty' attached to their names are Ron Paul organizations.
Here is an article that provides a break down of three of the major factions within the TP movement. And a follow-up article.
Horsecrap. Both MY group and others I know members from are listed there, and I assure you I’ve never heard Ron Paul’s name even mentioned at any of our meetings or other activities. So you know what goes on at every single one of those organizations? You’re a smart man, or woman.
JB Williams (the author of the two articles you linked to) is an egotistical nutbase who got banned from FR. Take what he writes with a very, very large grain of salt.
