Date: Sat, 17 Jul 2010 at 3:43pm Last night, the members of the National Tea Party Federation participating in an "All Hands" conference call unanimously decided the following: The membership of the National Tea Party Federation has this evening suspended and will immediately expel Tea Party Express from any further association with the Federation should they fail to publicly rebuke Mark Williams and remove him from their ranks by 3 pm eastern time Saturday July 17. The rebuke must take the following form: 1. Mark Williams must be officially removed from the ranks of the Tea Party Express. 2. Notice of Mark Williams' removal must be placed prominently on the official Tea Party Express website. 3. Tea Party Express must issue a press release articulating points 1 and 2 above. * * * Last night, a member of the National Tea Party Federation communicated our decision directly to a member of the leadership team of Tea Party Express. That leader's response was clear: they have no intention of taking the action we required for their group to continue as a member of the National Tea Party Federation. Therefore, effective immediately the National Tea Party Federation is expelling Tea Party Express from the ranks of our membership. Contact: Christina Botteri 916-315-8989 *Not passing legislation that Americans oppose is key to gaining support "It's not too late for struggling candidates to reverse their fortunes," said Jenny Beth Martin, Co-Founder and National Coordinator of Tea Party Patriots. "It can be done with just a few simple policy changes that are widely supported by the American people." *Suspend stimulus spending and return the unspent money to the Federal Treasury. The stimulus is not working, in fact, it may be hurting. A better policy would involve lowering taxes and adopting other policies that support private sector hiring and spending. These are well-known job creators that stimulate the economy and prosperity. We are confident that the Democratic Party can "feel the love" of the American people once again. All they need to do is quit passing legislation that destroys our economy, grows government and strips the American people of their liberty and freedoms. "It really is just that simple," said Meckler.
George Saros vs Teaparty Organizations -- Saros, NCAAP, Think Progress, New Left Media, and Media Matters for America Declare War on Teaparty Organizations
Source: Infowars -- This is the same George Saros that has bankrolled the Obama campaign in 2008, and has an open door to the President. Teapartytracker.org will post video interviews and blog entries gathered by folks on the false left who never grow weary of demonstrating their outrage over the very idea of a grassroots political effort overthrowing establishment Democrats and Republicans in the district of corporate criminals. Teaparty organizations are very aware of infiltrators, appearing to be a member of a Teaparty organization, who sole purpose is to discredit the Teaparty org. These are the same supporters of Obama, Pelosi and Reid's agenda and big government. It is time for the American people to take notice, and put these radical far left businesses out of business. ![]()
Black Tea Partiers May Not Be Props After All [Video]
Source: The Daily Caller -- Unless our monitor’s contrast is severely off, on April 15, all around the Freedom Plaza and at near Washington Monument, black Americans participated in the Tea Party rally to protest the progressive policies enacted by Democrats over the past year. Many of them took the time to lecture New York Times columnist Frank Rich and MSNBC host Chris Matthews, who have called Tea Party rallies “monochromatic.” ![]()

Tea Party Patriots Offer Democrats Advice to Halt Free Fall in Polls and Public Support
*Washington - Tea Party Patriots, the nation's largest Tea Party organization with more than 2,000 affiliates, today offered the President and the Democratic Party advice on how they can halt their well-documented free-fall in national public opinion polls.
*"The Tea Party is growing and our candidates are winning primary contests across the country," said Mark Meckler, Co-Founder and National Coordinator of Tea Party Patriots. "All the Democrats need to do is listen to the American people about their concerns, and embrace the core values of the Tea Party Patriots."
The Core Values of Tea Party Patriots are:
Fiscal Responsibility
Constitutionally Limited Government
Free Markets
Meckler and Martin recommend that Democrats immediately:
*Repeal ObamaCare. The American people hate this program. They have figured out that the president didn't tell the truth about people being able to keep their insurance and their doctors. And, they don't want giant government programs with thousands of new bureaucrats dictating their treatments. This program is killing the Democratic Party, and the sooner they ditch it the sooner they can get back into the good graces of the American people. More important, repealing it will save the United States from bankruptcy because ObamaCare is a financial train wreck!
*Drop the Arizona lawsuit. Democratic governors met with the President this past week and told him that his lawsuit against Arizona was "toxic." The Democratic governors are right. Arizona is trying to protect its people from violent drug criminals that are invading Arizona across a border that Democrats refuse to patrol and seal. Why should the people of Arizona risk their lives so the President can build the Democratic Party with more illegal voters?

FORMATION OF “NATIONAL TEA PARTY FEDERATION” ANNOUNCED
Broad Coalition of National, Regional Groups and Local Groups
Uniting for Messaging and Rapid Media Response
Advocacy & Affiliated Groups Participate
MINNEAPOLIS, MN (April 8, 2010) - A broad coalition of national and regional Tea Party groups have announced the formation of the National Tea Party Federation (NTPF). The NTPF is established to create a unified message and media response amongst key leadership and their affiliates. At the same time, the NTPF will act as a clearinghouse and to promote the Tea Party movement's objectives of:
· Fiscal Responsibility
· Constitutionally Limited Government
· Free Markets
The federation includes key organizations and leadership and is committed to changing the dynamics of communicating clearly to its membership while supporting the aforementioned principles. The approach will allow for clarity of message, rapid response to media misinformation while continuing to build the brand equity of the Tea Party movement. The NTPF will act in unison without a central leadership or overhead yet collaborate through a common set of principles.
The founders of the National Tea Party Federation include the following Tea Party groups:
The National Tea Party Federation is comprised of national, regional and local leadership that has worked to build trust amongst the various parties. The founding members will work to encourage other groups and leadership to join the federation thereby extending its impact and capabilities.
Jamie Radtke, Chairman of the Richmond Tea Party stated, "The National Tea Party Federation is based upon successful models deployed over the past year. These include actions like our own efforts in Virginia. We understand the importance of standing together while enhancing the ability to frame the discussion and realize gains amongst this approach to collaboration."
The federation was formed in response to a concerted effort of misinformation propagated by the main stream media. The federation will act as a "rapid response" team to mainstream media misinformation.
Jamie Radtke, further commented, "We have experienced the attempts to suggest that Tea Party members are not part of America's mainstream. As a mother, I have made my best efforts to raise my voice to oppose the actions of this government for the benefit of my family, community and my country. We and the Virginia Tea Party Federation welcome this effort and the national exposure it will give our movement and our members."
NTPF has also established alliances which include like-minded advocacy and support groups such as:
Mark A. Skoda of The Memphis Tea Party commented, "The combination of the Tea Party leadership and a strong network of alliances brings together activists with the resources to get our message out while coordinating across these many groups. The talent, experience and results orientation of the National Tea Party Federation is unprecedented in the current political environment."
Amy Kremer, of American Grass Roots Coalition and a Director of TEA Party Express, commented, "As a woman and mother, my concerns for the country revolve around our message of smaller government and accountability. The NTPF provides a way in which we can coordinate our efforts nationally and respond to the antagonism of the Left through the media and hold them accountable to responsible reporting."
Grass roots activists everywhere have worked to inform themselves, notify their representatives of their objections and take action in the form of rallies, meetings and calls into those representatives. Individual groups have worked tirelessly to assemble their members and deliver their comments to their elected legislators. However, the formation of the National Tea Party Federation will allow for a "clearinghouse" of messaging, media comment, local video and documentation while at the same time aligning the affiliates in "one message, one face."
Skoda, further stated, "The Tea Party movement's favorability is at an all time high of fifty-two percent. The extraordinary efforts, put forward by common citizens to make their voices heard, will now have a federation capable of national communication."
Darla Dewald of ResistNet also commented, "The power of this federation is extraordinary. The leadership and advisors who have chosen to affiliate within the National Tea Party Federation are key activists with the capability to deliver a clear message while also working with their membership to achieve change."
Maggie Hunt of the Santee East County Tea Party stated, "This federation, much like the United States itself, is a combination of large Tea Party organizations and smaller local groups. We are so please to play our part and to participate in this important effort. The time to align our messaging is now and the National Tea Party Federation will give voice to many more in the Tea Party movement."
Dozens of other Tea Party leadership and affiliates have been invited into the National Tea Party Federation and are working through their review processes. The NTPF is an open federation and welcomes all Tea Party groups and affiliates who are committed to the core principles of fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government and free markets.
