If you followed the news out of Nashville, you probably heard that some Tea Party folks are creating a Political Action Committee that will win 15 to 20 key Congressional races in 2010 and, perhaps, in years beyond. What you didn’t hear at the press conference was that several grassroots tea party organizers are so strongly in favor of this move that we have agreed to serve Ensuring Liberty PAC through its organizing parent, the Ensuring Liberty 501.c(4). Our local tea parties will continue unchanged."

Who the ELPAC Will Support

Back in February 2009, we thought, as did many of you, that we might need a new party in America—one comprised of the great many people who were fed up with business as usual.

2. A third party would have created a permanent ruling majority of statist and progressives. As I studied the matter and spoke to people smarter than I am, I realized that the 3rd party move could only help those who want socialism. Just creating a 3rd party would consume most of the center-right’s energy, time, and money for at least 2 years. And after that, at best, the 3rd party would pick up a few seats in Congress while splitting the center-right vote in hundreds of other states and districts giving Democrats a massive majority in both houses. Sorry, people, but that’s not standing on principle: it’s standing on our brains.

ELPAC will mostly support conservative candidates running as Republicans who have a reasonable chance to win with our help. For candidates like Doug Hoffman, we will provide the third element he lacked: a serious, well-coordinated ground game. In these races, we believe ELPAC will be THE difference...we believe all of us will be part of the margin of freedom’s victory.
