I received a call just the other night from Tea Party Patriots.
The guy’s talking points were about how crucial this moment is to send money for the events and actions that will take place. I asked what was being planned currently and explained that we can’t afford a donation just now. He completely side stepped my questions and statement along with an offer of my non-monetary help. Just stating that any donation large or small would be helpful. I wished him a good night.
GOOD ON YOU, RedMDer.
Shysters are all around.
Jenny Beth Martin is the top dog there now, having purged Mark Meckler out.
One time in DC when some teaparty people were gathered for a small impromptu rally, J B Martin came up with a bull horn and tried to get them all to come to where she was having a rally.
Grabbing some real tea party people to take to their shearing barn.
She is vicious and only is interested in there being one Tea Party group, hers.
When the Tea Party Express started, the TPP badmouthed them and got lots of their chapters to diss the TPX also.
She gets them hook, line and sinker.
Or at least used to...
IMO, the Tea Party Express is the most effective Tea Party group out there.
Some of their people went to DC on the first of Jan to work the pols.

I got this same call last night. VERY Hard Sell for donations. When I said I’d like to visit their website, he didn’t want to give it to me and said he needed the donations NOW. What could I give? $200, $100? Said they needed the $ NOW not later for budgeting for 2013. $75,$50? I had to say I couldn’t afford it NOW three times before he gave up. Definitely sounded like a commission call. I was unnerved by the tone of insistence of the caller.
