I put their names in the title because I think anyone who google’s their names needs to know what is going on. This is an absolute must read about the greed and corruption inside the tea party movement.

I can’t tell you how angry it makes me that so many people have gotten scammed into giving money to political organizations that do nothing to pay the salaries and lifestyles of their organizers......

The tea party lives in the hearts of those who still value constitutional governance and are willing to stand for it. :patriot:
