Jenny Beth Martin...now there’s a real scam artist whose been living off the donations of unsuspecting, concerned citizens since 2009.
She went from bankruptcy to living in a mansion in a gated, lake community on the donations of true Patriots.
Google her name...there’s plenty.
Regarding Jenny Beth Martin, no true conservative believes what critics of other conservatives say. Anyone who has been around the block a few times as a conservative fails to realize that any effective conservative comes under withering attacks and smears to try to cripple the entire movement.
I remember how Northern Virginia tea party activist Marta Saltus came up to me in 2011 at CPAC and spontaneously sputtered in anger that she knows “THEY ARE ATTACKING *ME* and all conservative women” when they attack Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, Sharron Angle, Christine O’Donnell, etc.
Marta Saltus was sharp enough to realize that they are trying to tear down the conservative movement by attacking anyone who is making a difference, one by one, individually.
You are obviously too young, but they attacked Ronald Reagan far worse. They said things 100 times worse about Ronald Reagan than whatever you think you can find on Google.
As for fund-raising, you also need to learn that most of the money raised for a conservative organization goes to THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE.
The single biggest chunk of the total amount raised by a conservative organization is for POSTAGE.
After that is printing costs, handling, etc.
Only a very small sliver of the total amount raised ever finds its way to the organization itself.
WHY?
Because we don’t have corrupt government contracts illegally funneling money to conservative organizations.
We don’t have Solyndra scams taking billions of dollars out of the Treasury and funneling it to political leaders.
We don’t have unions scamming their membership to support our party.
We don’t have use foundations hijacked by liberals writing us huge checks.
