Tea Party Leadership Fund

Is anyone here familiar with this organization? They called today wanting money to fight the implementation of Obamacare. I asked them to call back after I researched their organization.

I'm wondering if this is an effective group to lend support to, since I am of the belief Obamacare as it stands, needs to be done away with.

Thanks!

you might want to save the money to pay the higher premiums.. :shock:

none of these funds will make a difference as long as Obama in in office and the liberals control the senate...

to make the best use of your donated money,.. use it to fund the primary challenger of a conservative in congress and the senate..

by getting good new first term politicians in we can challenge the status of the party leaderships content with just getting along...

Paul McKinley was a 2013 Republican candidate seeking election to the U.S. House in the special election for the 2nd Congressional District of Illinois. McKinley was defeated by Robin Kelly (D) in the general election on April 8, 2013.[1]

McKinley ran in the 2013 special election for the U.S. House, representing Illinois' 2nd District. The election was held to replace Jesse Jackson, Jr.. The primary election was too close to call and initially no winner was declared. McKinley was later named winner.[4][5] He was defeated by Robin Kelly (D) in the general election. The general election took place on April 9, 2013

McKinley seems like a decent person and ran a good campaign in a liberal district and lost... I would expect to hear from him in 2014 as well...


beyond that it has endorsed a candidate or two..
The Tea Party Leadership Fund has decided to endorse Nancy Mace, a conservative challenger to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)

I haven't found out who is behind it.. but other then funding conservative challenges in primaries it hasn't done much yet..

Thank you, Steve. They all sound so good on the phone, but I have learned to look before I leap, mostly due to you!! They prey on our wishful thinking...

Republicans called yesterday from 000-000-0000 (seriously, that was the number that came up on caller ID). I told them I wasn't giving them any money until the Republicans quit sitting on their hands and doing nothing to stop Obama.
