Where is the Tea Party Now?

Where is the tea Party these days? Is it irrelevant? Or on the wane? This AP reporter doesn’t think so! From Pauline Arrillaga, a Phoenix-based national writer for The Associated Press (who can be reached at features(at)ap.org)…

“They’re not dressing up and going to demonstrations in the street. They’re meeting. They’re poring over the legislative records of these Republicans that they’ve elected. They’re contacting their representatives, and they’re keeping the pressure on. They’re following the debates, and they’re going and they’re voting.

“They’re determined,” she says, “and they haven’t gone away.”

“To weigh the continuing success or influence of the tea party by inside-the-Beltway measures _ endorsements, numbers of chapters and “constituents,” dollars or even wins or losses at the polls _ is to miss the point and ignore the power of the movement today, says Skocpol. That stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of what the tea party was and is.”

“The tea party … has provided a backdrop where the opportunity to beat an entrenched incumbent exists,” he says. “They’re putting their money where their mouth is. They’re putting their time and effort where their mouth is, and so I feel like they are absolutely significant.”

“Today, he and other tea party members have the clout to meet privately with elected officials and press them to hold the line on city projects, including a proposal to spend millions to build new housing in the downtown core.

“We are showing up at city council meetings on a regular basis, showing up at county commission meetings on a regular basis. We have organized neighborhood groups to attend town hall meetings,” says San Antonio Tea Party president George Rodriguez. “It is at those meetings that we bring up the issues of: How are you using our money?”

Political candidates are also coming to them, seeking votes and volunteers.”

US Secret Service Says No Anti-Obama Rallies Allowed!

ONLY the planned Obama sycophants, adherents and Adoration Groups will be allowed in…all others no longer have any free speech. Over the weekend I received an email from my local TEA Party Director that Barack Hussein Obama would fly into Carlsbad, NM airport on Wednesday 21 March, in order to “make an appearance at the South Eastern NM oilfields.” However, apparently after hearing that an immediate anti-Obama rally had been planned, Obama and his entourage changed the landing location to Roswell, NM… a city 77 miles from Carlsbad.

EXCLUSIVE: Chris Rock Attacks Conservative Author Over Tea Party Question

The New York Times bestselling author of the explosive new book, Hollywood Hypocrites: The Devastating Truth About Obama’s Biggest Backers, Jason Mattera, had his crew’s camera snatched and hurled by comedian Chris Rock when he asked the star why he has called the Tea Party racist (video below).

“I was stunned,” said Mr. Mattera in an exclusive interview with Big Hollywood. “Tea Party members get called the worst things imaginable and still remain peaceful. But ask a big Hollywood celebrity to explain himself and the guy goes ballistic, wrestles the camera away from my camerawoman, chucks it 50 feet, and then challenges me to a fight. It’s unreal. And it perfectly illustrates why I decided to investigate and write Hollywood Hypocrites.”  Continue reading on Breitbart.com which to the left’s dismay is still very much alive!

Sheriff Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse Uncovers “Systematic Effort to Obscure the Truth”

Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona released his report on president Obama’a birth certificate and Selective Service (Draft) card on Thursday.  It is important to note that Arpaio reluctantly initiated  this investigation ONLY after receiving a petition signed by 250 of this constituents and with no preconceived conclusions.  He noted that his oath is to “preserve, protect, and defend” both the Arizona and United States Constitutions.

The Cold Case Posse’s investigation team contained many experts of many disciplines and is the first time that law enforcement has been involved in this matter.

Tune in tomorrow when I will post the full video of Thursday’s press conference and the PDF file of the full written report.  It’s stunning and CREDIBLE!

Since first announcing the formation of a “cold case posse” to investigate the legitimacy of Barack Hussein Obama’s claim to Constitutional occupation of the White House, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been at once the object of  legacy media smears and new media encouragement. And though the information gathered in the 6 month effort will probably not change the minds of many dedicated Obamabots, it has provided stark and irrefutable evidence that “person or persons unknown” worked long and hard in a systematic effort to obscure the truth about Barack Obama’s birth, heritage and qualifications to serve as President of the United States.  (1) Continue reading at: coachisright.com.

ANDREW BREITBART HAS DIED!

The Liberty movement has just lost one of it’s most steadfast and outspoken champions.  I trust we will know why.

Fron BigHollywood.com:

With a terrible feeling of pain and loss we announce the passing of Andrew Breitbart.

Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.

We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.

Andrew lived boldly, so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully, and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love.

Andrew recently wrote a new conclusion to his book, Righteous Indignation:

I love my job. I love fighting for what I believe in. I love having fun while doing it. I love reporting stories that the Complex refuses to report. I love fighting back, I love finding allies, and—famously—I enjoy making enemies.

Three years ago, I was mostly a behind-the-scenes guy who linked to stuff on a very popular website. I always wondered what it would be like to enter the public realm to fight for what I believe in. I’ve lost friends, perhaps dozens. But I’ve gained hundreds, thousands—who knows?—of allies. At the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror, and I sleep very well at night.

Andrew is at rest, yet the happy warrior lives on, in each of us.  http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/

Tea Party Patriots Co-Founder Mark Meckler Resigns

Mark Meckler, co-founder of Tea Party Patriots, has resigned from his role with the grassroots group over internal disputes about the leadership of the organization.

In an email Meckler sent to Tea Party Patriots state coordinators Thursday night, he stated that he had “fought long and hard” over the direction of TPP and that, “Unfortunately, it is my belief that I have lost this fight.”

He added, “At this time, I have virtually no influence in the leadership of the organization, and it has been that way for quite some time”, noting that the TPP board granted co-founder Jenny Beth Martin “almost complete power over the day-to-day operations back in November of 2011, after a protracted fight…” Continue reading on  floridapoliticalpress.com.

TPX Florida Tour: Thousands Turn Out For Newt at The Villages

We were honored to have Tea Party celebrity and conservative, Lloyd Marcus with us here with the Tea Party Express bus tour in Gainesville yesterday.  Lloyd is one of the most humble and gracious people I know.  If you missed him, try extra hard next time the opportunity to see him arises – ADB

By Lloyd Marcus:

Our Tea Party Express tour bus arrived at the Newt Gingrich rally in The Villages to see a huge enthusiastic crowd of thousands. I must confess I was somewhat surprised because I was told The Villages is Romney Land. I suspect the great turn out for Newt will go unreported because the media is in the tank for Romney.

The media’s goal is to select Mitt Romney as our Republican presidential nominee. Remember how the media LOVED our so-called “electable moderate” presidential candidate, John McCain, until he won the nomination? Then, they trashed McCain, while fawning over all things Obama, their Black Golden Child. Well, the media is hoping for a sequel starring “electable moderate” Mitt Romney. Their game plan is the same as the last presidential election. The headline: “Obama Wins Second Term!”

As I stated, I was pleasantly surprised seeing the sea of Newt Gingrich supporters at The Villages.  Continue reading at:  http://www.teapartynation.com/profiles/blogs/tpx-florida-tour-thousands-turn-out-for-newt-at-the-villages?xg_source=activity.

TEA PARTY EXPRESS BUS IS ROLLING THROUGH FLORIDA

“Rallying for Victory” Tour to Bring Tea Party Issues to the Forefront

Speakers include (others to be determined):

Amy Kremer, Chairman Tea Party Express
Judson Phillips, Founder Tea Party Nation
Lloyd Marcus, Tea Party Express Entertainer, American Tea Party Anthem
Diana Nagy, Tea Party Express Performer and Entertainer
Andrea Shea King, Radio Patriot and Vice President of the Campaign to Defeat Barack Obama

Laurie Newsom, President Gainesville Tea Party
Alan Berkelhammer, Leader Gainesville Tea Party
Paula Helton, Leader Gainesville Tea Party

 

 

Jacksonville, FL - Tea Party Express, the nation’s largest tea party political action committee, is excited to announce the launch of its “Rallying for Victory” bus tour through Florida. The tour will start this Saturday, January 28th and will make seven stops up and down the Sunshine State.

Amy Kremer, Chairman of the Tea Party Express, said, “The Tea Party Express is here rallying for victory against the policies of Barack Obama and the Harry Reid-led Senate. The current Administration has showed zero leadership and interest in listening to the voice of the American people. Our ‘Rallying for Victory’ tour through Florida will be an exhibition of the Tea Party’s strength and determination in pursuing and promoting Tea Party values.

“Florida is a key state in the presidential election campaign and one in which the future direction of the country could be determined.  This will be the place to reject the Obama policies of promoting his big government, liberal policies that have killed job growth and added trillions of dollars of debt. It is critical to have an energized and engaged Tea Party electorate, just like we saw in 2010 as the Tea Party movement elected more Republican state legislators since 1928 and more Republican congressional representatives since 1948.

“Our ‘Rallying for Victory’ bus tour will bring together local and national Tea Party activist to raise awareness of the Tea Party movement and the conservative principles that will put this nation back on the path to prosperity. It is an opportunity to inform the American people that there is a free-market solution to get the economy on the right track and that the president’s actions have not accomplished what he has promised,” Kremer concluded.

The Tea Party Express plans to make stops in Jacksonville, Winter Park, West Palm Beach, The Villages, Gainesville, Panama City and Pensacola. The Tea Party Express will be joined by conservative leaders from across the country and will provide a platform for Presidential candidates to present their Tea Party qualifications. The organization is directing the public to its website (www.TeaPartyExpress.org) for the details of the stops.

Tea Party on the Wane? Au Contraire!

An excellent letter to Sen Harry Reid from our own Paula Helton as published in the Florida Political Press…Thank you, Paula!

Dear Harry,

Can I call you Harry? Based on your intimate knowledge of the Tea Party movement, of which I am a member, I feel the close bond that puts us on a first name basis. Mine is Paula, by the way.

This recent headline and accompanying story has prompted me to write out of concern for your mental well being and extend an offer from this Florida Tea Party member;

Harry Reid: ‘The Tea Party’s Dying Out as the Economy’s Getting Better Slowly’

The economy is getting better? My poor dear Harry, this speaks volumes as to your state of mental impairment. The Tea Party is dying out? Harry, Harry, Harry, you should really get out more. In the spirit of bi-partisanship, I would like to extend my hand across the aisle and offer you sanctuary in the State of Florida.

We have this nice little hospital here that could be instrumental in treating your illness. They offer three meals a day, have a first class security system and could probably work some cowboy poetry readings into the schedule.

I know you will probably think this offer much too generous, but believe me Harry, it comes from my heart. Your comfort and well being are my utmost concern.

I look forward to your acceptance of my offer.

Sincerely,

Paula Helton

Florida Tea Party member

P.S. You might want to refrain from using the phrase “dying out”. It could be construed by some as not adhering to the rules on civil discourse as laid out by your party.
