Money as usual, or?


TOPICS: Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS: teaparty; teapartyfunds
Am getting multiple calls from those who advertise as the Tea Party. My question is are these requests for real, or are they to pay salaries like so many others are.

The Koch Brothers are sponsoring all tea Parties everywhere to the tune of 145 gazzillion dollars according to every leftie that can breath, so they should be OK without a $25.00 phone solicited donation.

I suggest you contact:

info@teapartyexpress.org

and request -=] INFORMATION [=- about who you should contact in your area about the Tea Party. Do NOT give money to any people soliciting any funds without thoroughly checking them out. You can access the website for the the Tea Party Express and then ask them by email first who to contact BEFORE you make any donations.

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.
