Make No Mistake: The Tea Party Movement Turned SIX on 12/16/2013

These articles we are seeing claiming that Tea Party Patriots founded the tea party in 2009 are completely inaccurate.

Too many people have been fooled because all they watch is the MSM which does not tell the truth and will NOT cover certain activities as was the case with the first tea party in 2007. That’s right 2007 NOT 2009.

The tea party just had its 6th anniversary in Dec of 2013.

TPP (and TPN, TPE, and TPU, theteaparty.net and teaparty.org) are all fake GOP PACs that hijacked the movement’s name in 2009. They had NOTHING to do with the formation of the ‘tea party’ movement although they may have heard about it from Rick Santelli’s rant in 2009.

Actually Rick Santelli was talking about a group of young libertarians who were acutely aware of the money situation. They also formed the tea party movement in protest of BUSH because of our involvement in IRAQ. Who are ‘we’? Young libertarians who were fed up with people not addressing certain issues before the 2008 election.

And just to be clear, the KOCH BROS had nothing to do with it either. There was NO funding, still is none.

And so this bunch staged the first tea party on Dec 16, 2007 by tossing boxes in the water as ‘tea’ with the names of the 4 main issues on them (Fed/IRS, illegal foreign wars, restoration of personal freedoms, troubles with open borders).

This is why Rick mentioned LAKE MICHIGAN as he had been following what we were doing since that first day in 2007. The movement was already in full swing two years before, as on that day we also held a huge rally in Fanueil Hall Boston.

We then marched on DC in July of 2008 in favor of a constitutional revolution… about 20,000 people. But even FOX news would not cover the anti-war ‘right’.

The tea party movement, the LEGIT ONE, therefore turned 6 this past December.

Here’s the proof — many media outlets, video clips and articles and photos bear up our claims.

Real tea parties do NOT collect money ($6M by TPP which went for GOP consultant salaries and nothing went to tea parties) nor do they put up or endorse or give money to candidates as they are not a political party. Any group that does is not legit. Did you ever see ACORN claiming candidates?

Martin, Meckler, Kremer, Russo, Philips, Cefaratti (who absconded with half million dollars of donations) and the religious right continue to scam people out of money… don’t give them any.

The NHTPC has some volunteers working 16 hours per day and on weekends too, doing ten times the work for liberty than any of these self-absorbed so-called ‘leaders’ mentioned above, some of whom are professional fundraisers and lawyers who saw dollar signs in the name ‘tea party’. Do you think our folks are worth $100K per year?
