Russo has used Tea Party Express to raise a lot of money of which little goes to advancing Tea Party issues.

Absolutely untrue.

Tea Party is a spontaneous arousal of like minded individuals.

That's one way of putting it and is true, and understood by Russo and the Tea Party Express.

Russo and his ilk have seized on it to make money for themselves.

Concerning Russo, completely untrue. Whatever you mean by "his ilk," probably true concerning many of them.

Apparently you are a Tea Party Express member in your denial.

Here are the facts from the TPX own financial statements:

“The Tea Party Express, a PAC run out of Sacramento by longtime Republican consultant Sal Russo, has paid Russo’s firm $2.75 million since the beginning of 2013, while donating just $45,000 to candidates and spending less than $162,000 on ads and bus tours supporting their election.”
