There are a lot of questionable groups popping up like this just like there are fake Tea-Party candidates. I suggest sticking with the ones we know like the Tea Party Express.
A key feature of the Tea Party is that there’s nothing to join. That’s the only way it can stay grassroots instead of being twisted to fit organizers’ agendas.
There is nothing wrong with a smaller government, lower tax, more freedom and personal responsibility agenda, but not every organizer is on the up and up. And I fully expect the RATs to be creating more fake Tea Party candidates, so keep your eyes and ears open and shout it from the roof tops when you spot one!
We are living in the age of the con man. From our president to “Republicans” Trump and Romney we are being sold a bill of goods. Religion, long a refuge for cults and greed, is now rivaled by a religion of atheism. The business of America is fraud as competition is eliminated and “concepts” feather than products are sold. Business and government is increasingly in partnership with us as the losers. Rant over.
Your link doesn’t work.
Can you reply with one that goes to the email?
Thanks.
Here is the proper link, the one in your post doesn’t work.

The mods should put that one in instead
I too received email from a group with the TeaParty.net link.
I was so irritated with NewsMax. I was getting emails daily from them and had tried to unsubscribe several times. I finally blocked their email address.
Now the junk mail that I have been getting makes sense. Including the sudden onslaught of Viagra emails too. Jerks.
Those “sign our petition” emails seem to be a new way of either begging for money or gleaning information for junk mail.
Support your LOCAL tea party. LOCAL! LOCAL!
They are your neighbors and friends and members of your community. Stay away from the national orgs who DARE to speak for the “tea party.”
Every time I hear that someone is interviewing a “national tea party spokesman” or “national tea party leader” I want to puke. What is it about the words “grass roots” that they don’t get. If they really believed in the movement they would all fade from the scene.
WE DO NOT NEED THEM. They are no smarter than you or I, and have no right to speak for anybody but themselves. Yet somehow, they never make that clear - any of them.
What does peninsulate mean?
