None of the ones you mentioned play well with others.
One of the founders of the TPP is a major player with TPX now.
TPP’s other founders were pretty upset that anyone would leave and get involved at the grass roots level.
One of the other founders, Mark Meckler, is a lawyer.
So naturally there were lawsuits.
He left too (about a year ago), along with another player.
So I guess Jenny Beth Martin is sitting on the top of the teatering (yea that is how I chose to spell it) totem pole in complete control. I dunno, I don’t follow their antics much unless something comes up that seriously undermines the TPM.
About Jenny Beth Martin, TPP, Mark Levin advertises for them on his show. Sounds like a paid spot.
Are we still okay with Tea Party.org?
Teaparty.org, 24338 El Toro Rd, Suite E-108 Laguna Woods, California 92637
So do I have this straight (as far as we know)...
The grass roots ‘tea parties’ are Tea party Express
Tea Party.org
and I assume local groups?
If an ‘event’ is going to happen, I don’t want to see it hijacked. Some local tea parties hook up with these lobbyist run ‘tea parties’, pay them a bunch of $$ to ‘organize’ an event. From what I’ve found there isn’t much ‘organizing’ going on except on line.
I know lobbyists are perhaps ‘necessary evils’, but do they have to have their fingers in EVERYTHING...they write our laws these days, isn’t that enough? But no, they take over our causes, take our money and spend it on the opposition. Swell, huh?
We should call it the “NO Sacred Cows” tour!
