Fellow conservatives,
First off, we are a group of conservative and Tea Party activists who are against the Tea Party Express.
We support their political views, which most all conservative groups share, but do not agree with their unsavory fundraising, organizational, and political tactics.
With that said, if you are a supporter of the Tea Party Express, we would like you to seriously reconsider any financial and moral support of their organization. The time to hold them accountable is now.
Contact the Tea Party Express and ask them for a refund of your contribution. Simply provide your name and address so they can look up your financial contribution and refund it to you.
From allegations of deceptive fundraising practices and spending millions in consulting fees, to intimidation in numerous elections and blatantly attacking fellow conservatives, the Tea Party Express has lived beyond its purpose. We must stop them now before their new tour starts on October 18th.
Instead of encouraging activists at the grassroots levels to support conservative candidates by knocking on doors and making phone calls, they continue to be "talking heads" of the Tea Party movement and hold rallies that get nothing done but yelling and screaming.
We here at TeaPartyExpressLies.org hope you join a growing coalition of Tea Party and conservative groups who are against the Tea Party Express and its hijacking of the Tea Party movement.
Thank you,
Committee to Expose the Tea Party Express
P.S. Please forward this to your friends and family.

ReplyDeleteAs a member of the Tea Party Patriots, I have never seen this from TPP, so it's not from them.
Sounds to me to be some liberal hacks.
I have read that there is the Nevada Tea Party that people suspect Harry Reid helped start to try to split votes.
Also have found out that this website, http://www.teapartyexpresslies.org/index.html is behind it, but are not even up and running, just a domain.
It is BS. Do as Mark suggested and track back to expose these socialist pigs.

ReplyDeleteThanks again for all your supportive notes regarding the attacks against the Tea Party Express by a new front group trying to destroy the Tea Party Express. Many of you asked for a simple direct link to unsubscribe from their emails (via One Nation PAC and The Conservative Update).
ReplyDeleteSadly this was not the only under-handed attempt by sleazy political operatives to hurt the tea party movement. As you may have heard, Sharron Angle recently met a slimeball named Scott Ashjian, the head of another bogus group - Tea Party Party in Nevada - asking him to drop out, as he would siphon votes away from her and allow Harry Reid to win the election.
The Tea Party Party in Nevada enjoys no tea party support. It's a total scam that Harry Reid and his allies apparently cooked up to split the vote (remind you of what we're facing in Alaska with Lisa Murkowski) and help Harry win.
Well, Scott Ashjian secretly tape-recorded his meeting with Sharron Angle, ran to the news media and smeared her, smeared the Tea Party Express. Again, he is doing Harry Reid's bidding. It's been awful to watch on the news this week - that man is such a dishonorable thug, and we here at the Tea Party Express figured this out early on. We even put out this ad exposing Scott Ashjian.
And guess what? Scott Ashjian was back on TV doing interviews this week where he called the Tea Party Express... get ready for it... RACIST.
Yes, the favorite smear by liberals of the tea party movement repeated once more.
We've been upping our expenditures in Nevada for the past few weeks and we're going to do even more.
So please, support our push for Sharron Angle - we're going to stop the Lisa Murkowski's, the Harry Reid's, the Scott Ashjians, the One Nation PACs, and every other dirty, slimy group or individual that tries to undermine our fight!
Thanks for the heads up on the video. This email was sent by teapartyexpresslies.com. I'm wondering how they got my email.
ReplyDeleteWe are in the home stretch of the campaign. In less than 30 days, voters will head to the polls to voice their choice for the future of their family, their community, their state, and their country.
ReplyDeleteWith less than 30 days left, it’s time to present your closing argument to the voters that you will aggressively repeat over and over until Election Day
A closing argument is the central choice you want voters to have in mind as they head to the voting booths. It should be very simple and resonate at a personal, emotional level with the American people.
In 1980, Reagan’s closing argument was “morning in America” versus the malaise of Jimmy Carter.
In 1994, our closing argument was the Republicans’ “Contract with America” versus decades of broken promises from the Democrats.
This year, the House Republicans’ Pledge to America has set the stage for a powerful, symbolic closing argument for candidates seeking to unseat the left-wing, big-spending, job-killing Democrats: paychecks versus food stamps.
It is an unassailable fact that in June, more food stamps were distributed by the government than ever before in American history. (It turns out that Barack Obama’s idea of spreading the wealth around was spreading more food stamps around.)
It is also an unassailable fact that in January 2007, when Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid took over Congress, unemployment was 4.6% and food stamp usage was around 26.5 million Americans. Today, the unemployment rate is 9.6% and over 40 million Americans are on food stamps.
Compare this to our record after we took control of Congress in 1994.
In four years, unemployment fell from 5.6% to 4.2% and food stamp usage dropped by 8 million Americans thanks to record job creation. Furthermore, we turned a $107 billion deficit into a $125 billion surplus in four years, paying off more than $400 billion in federal debt. And we did it with a liberal Democrat in the White House.
You can use this vivid contrast between the record of the Pelosi-Reid Democratic Congress and the last time the Republican Party took control of Congress to powerfully illustrate the difference for every American between the Democratic Party of food stamps and the Republican Party of paychecks.
You can also present this clear choice to voters by hammering Democrats on their decision to adjourn Congress without fixing the tax code. In January 2011, taxes are scheduled to rise on virtually every American. Considering the perilous state of the U.S. economy, this decision by the Democrats to raise taxes is the very definition of irresponsibility.
This tax increase can be specified for every income group with vivid personal impact on most families. As the Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee have documented:
A family of four earning $50,000 per year could pay more than $2,100 in higher taxes.
A single mom earning $36,000 per year could pay over $1,100 more in taxes.
Married senior citizens earning $40,000 per year could pay more than $1,400 in higher taxes.
For families struggling to pay their bills and put food on the table, the idea of having to pay even more in taxes will be devastating.
Furthermore, small business owners who may be considering hiring new employees must now operate under the assumption that their taxes will rise in January. That means a smart businessman will decline to hire anyone new since there will soon be less money to pay their employees. In other words, more food stamps, fewer paychecks.
Republicans have made it clear they intend to prevent these tax increases on working Americans.
You should use this vivid contrast between the tax-raising, job-killing agenda of the Democrats and the low-tax, job-creating agenda of the Republicans as a way to reinforce the choice for voters this fall.
Which future do I want? More food stamps? Or more paychecks?
This is the choice we want to drive home again and again for voters from now until Election Day.
