Dear Fellow Tea Party Patriots,
Arriving at the bottom of a deck of increasingly desperate and shrill attacks against the Tea Party Patriots, liberals play the race card, and it's roundly rejected by the American people. Game over for the racists at the NAACP. Below read the Politico op-ed Tea Party Patriots' co-founders Mark Meckler and Jenny Beth Martin.
Additionally, as we see headlines of the White House hitting the panic button as they read weekly polls showing diminishing support, Tea Party Patriots have some advice to democrats to halt their well documented free fall in polls and public support. Read our press release below.
After reading the articles below, consider donating to Tea Party Patriots to help us fight the smears and to reclaim America's founding principles.
Tea Party Patriots Offer Democrats Advice to Halt Free Fall in Polls and Public Support
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Randy Lewis, July 14, 2010
Not passing legislation that Americans oppose is key to gaining 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
"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."
Meckler and Martin recommend that Democrats immediately:
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.
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?
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.
Tea Party Patriots is a national grassroots coalition with more than 2,000 locally organized chapters and more than 15 million supporters nationwide. Tea Party Patriots is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting the principles of fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and free markets.

Disagree with the Administration, Be Labeled a Racist

A clear pattern of behavior has emerged over the last sixteen months. According to liberals, if you disagree with the their thinking, and if you disagree with the current administration, you are not only wrong, you are a "racist." The latest strike by the left comes from the NAACP, who has resolved that the tea party movement is inherently "racist." At its most simple, this is a direct attack on the First Amendment rights of millions of Americans.
The NAACP has long history of liberalism and racism. If you are a conservative, including a conservative African American, there is no room for you at the NAACP. If you have opinions that differ from the NAACP and the liberal establishment, and if you are African American, you are an "Uncle Tom," a "negro," "not black enough," and "against our people." In other words, the NAACP fancies itself the thought police for millions of black Americans. Disagree with them and you will be ostracized and attacked. You will be subjected to public humiliation and racist commentary from NAACP leadership. The message is clear; tow the line or pay the price.
But the NAACP does not stand alone in this regard. There is a long history of the use of the race card on the left, and it has been pulled on people all across the political spectrum. In recent memory, President Clinton was smeared as a racist by the Obama campaign when Hillary Clinton was running for President. It seems that anyone who disagrees with the far left, socialist policies of Barack Obama and the current administration is subject to the heavy hand of the race card.
The race card is generally played when all else has failed. It was inevitable that it would eventually be used aggressively against the tea party movement. First, members of the tea party movement were called disgruntled voters, then Speaker Pelosi said our movement was nothing more than "AstroTurf" and laughed off as a flash in the pan that would disappear overnight. Next the DNC relased an ad calling us an "angry mob." Most recently, we're being called racist.
All of these attacks have failed because they are untrue and the American people know it. According to recent polling, over 49 million people are active members of the tea party movement (Winston Group, April 1, 2010). Over 145 million people say that the tea party movement is a good thing for America (Rasmussen, June, 2, 2010). The Obama White House and liberal interest groups are hitting the panic button as they read the weekly polls showing diminishing support for their radical big government issue agenda, and a weariness for the politics of division.
Like all movements, the tea party has its fringe. President Obama's domestic terrorist friends from the 60's antiwar past never represented the Americans of good conscience who opposed the Vietnam war. In a similar vein, the racist posters of a few at a Tea Party rally do not represent the feelings or behavior of Americans who believe in this movement.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would be proud of this movement. He dreamed of a colorblind society. The tea party is a truly post-racial movement. Based strictly around the three simple principles of fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and free market capitalism, the movement is uninterested and uninvolved in the politics of race. We are freedom loving Americans numbering in the millions who have come together to express their outrage against a government no longer of, for and by the people. Standing together as brothers and sisters in the fight to return America to its founding principles, skin color, religion, social status, and even political party affiliation are irrelevant to the people involved in this movement. These are the facts. And these facts have already withstood sixteen months of liberal media scrutiny and bombardment.
Today, the NAACP again brings up the completely falsified charges of racial epithets hurled at members of Congress during the debate leading up to the passage of Obamacare. Widely reported as fact by the liberal media, even an offered reward of $100,000 to anyone who could provide documentary evidence proving the charges could not coax videotape, audiotape or a single witness out of a crowd of thousands present on Capitol Hill that day. The race card; played again, and once again discarded by the American people.
When Kenneth Gladney, a black conservative activist was brutally beaten by SEIU thugs at a protest outside of Rep. Russ Carnahan's office, the NAACP and the liberal left refused to intervene. To the contrary, at an NAACP press conference in St. Louis in May, Gladney was referred to as a "negro," an "Uncle Tom," and someone not worthy of the protection of the NAACP, because he's working for the "other side." The NAACP has defended the thugs who beat Gladney, and at the press conference, money was raised for the defense of the "brothers." The race card played once again, this time in confusing fashion, against an African American who was deemed "not black enough," and found himself on the wrong side of the NAACP thought police.
At Tea Party Patriots we will continue to condemn the fringe elements of the movement and any expression of racism or bigotry. We sincerely hope that the Obama While House, the NAACP, and the liberal left will follow our lead and do the same in their own ranks.
