Tea Party Super PAC Endorses Donald Trump – Breitbart

On the question of whether to support Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund the Super PAC affiliated with the largest tea party organization in the country has made its choice, Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund (TPPCF) chairman Jenny Beth Martin explained in a statement issued on Thursday.

Hillary Clinton stands opposed to everything the Tea Party stands for, on the policy, political, and personal fronts. Donald Trump, on the other hand, has pledged to fight to uphold our core values. In making a choice between the two of them, there is really no choice at all we choose Trump.

The Super PACplans to get out the vote for the Republican nominee and Republican Senate candidates in four key states: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida and North Carolina.

According to a press release, TPPCFhas more than57,000 supporters in the state of Pennsylvania. It also has more than 48,000 supporters in Ohio and at least 37,000 supporters in North Carolina. In Florida, the organization has more than 97,000 supporters.

Martin slammed Clinton for believing more government solves public policy problems.

She takes the same dim view of the Constitutions limits on government (and, specifically, the executive) taken by the current president, Martinblasted.

Shecontinued:

[Clinton]supports President Obamas disastrous nuclear deal with Iran, wants to double down on his unconstitutional executive amnesty including full citizenship for illegal immigrants and wants to increase President Obamas limit for accepting Syrian refugees by more than 500 percent. And while we dont know who would be the liberal extremists she would try to jam through a Democrat-controlled Senate to put on the federal bench, including the Supreme Court, we know they would be extreme and out of touch with constitutionally limited government.

Martinalso said she believes that Clintons policies would result in more division, not less.

She went on toattack Clintons honesty and her [commingling] of official State Department business with Clinton Foundation and other personal business, she chose to put Americas national security at risk by employing an illegal, unsecured private server to host her official emails, many of which contained classified information, and then lied repeatedly about it, and is still lying about it.

Simply put, America cannot afford a Hillary Clinton presidency, Martin declared.

Her organizations members care about the future of the Supreme Court, fighting terrorism, tax reform, repealing the Affordable Care Act, securing the border and the increasing federal debt.

Martin added:

The simple fact is this: With a Republican House and a Republican Senate and Donald Trump in the White House, Tea Party members and supporters will be far more likely to see our preferred policy choices enacted into law: We are far likelier to see the future of the Supreme Court protected, the borders secured, terrorism fought effectively, ObamaCare repealed, the national debt reduced, and the tax code reformed in such a way that the economy is energized and job growth soars.Consequently, Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund endorses Donald Trump for President.

An endorsement, by itself, is not enough, sheconcluded. We are not sitting idly by while our nations future is at stake. We are taking action. We have launched our March to Victory to mobilize our grassroots and get out the vote in key states, with the goal of helping to defeat Hillary Clinton and maintain control of the Senate.

I am responding to David CurriesTexas politics badly skewed by far right,Special to the Standard-Times(May 1 opinion page).

To me it is obvious that David Currie has not attended any TEA Party meetings, anywhere, at any time. Had he attended open, everyone is-invited-to-come, meetings, he would have found that most of the members do not agree 100% on any one of various subjects and/or political views a candidate may have. We do not accept everything we hear or read.

The comment made about Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick being 100% TEA Party raises a question: How many TEA Party meetings has Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick attended? We are not all Republicans but more diverse. The TEA Party welcomes Republicans, Democrats, Independents and anyone else that wants to learn more about candidates running for office, issues and the United States Constitution. We even learn some about history.

It appears to me that Drew Darby and Joe Straus are working more for themselves than they are for any political party. To be honest, I agreethat there are good and bad Republicans but I am also aware that there are good and bad Democrats.

I realized from reading the article that a good part of it is just your opinion. I do question your statement, The fact is that 70% of you reading this agree with me etc. etc. I would like to know where that figure came from.

I am surprised that you, a retired Baptist minister, are so down on Christians. Perhaps you would like to define the Christian Right. Isnt the Christian Rightthe people that believe and strictly live by the Bible?

Fay Brown,

Josh Mandel Wins Tea Party Nod In Ohio Senate Bid – Forward

WASHINGTON (JTA) A powerful conservative Republican political action committee endorsed Josh Mandel, the state treasurer of Ohio, in his bid to unseat incumbent Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown.

The Tea Party Express said in a statement Wednesday that Mandel epitomizes the new face of conservative Republicans, and we couldnt be more proud to support his campaign.

Tea Party groups backed Mandels previous bid to unseat Brown, in 2012, citing his fiscal conservatism as state treasurer.

Mandel, a Marines veteran who served in Iraq, announced his bid in December with a 2-minute YouTube video that starts by noting that one grandparent served in the U.S. military during World War II and two others survived the Holocaust.

Im here today because they all won their fights, he said.

Mandel, who shied away from Donald Trumps presidential campaign, has since then adopted some of the presidents rhetoric, deriding a rigged system and political correctness.

Hagerstown Tea Party awards two scholarships – Herald-Mail Media

The Hagerstown Tea Party hosted its second annual scholarship awards ceremony on May 22 at the Washington County Public Schools Center for Education Services on Downsville Pike.

The scholarship was open to all Washington County graduating high school seniors, including those at public, art, private and home-schools.

The first-place award of a $1,000 U.S. constitutional scholarship went to Zane Poffenberger, Boonsboro High School senior, for his presentation on the U.S. Supreme Courts powers and decisions on cases and controversies, a challenging topic concerning the judicial branch and its responsibilities.

The second-place scholarship award of $500 went to Skyla Heise, a home-schooled senior, for her presentation on voter fraud and how to improve the integrity of the election process. Special thanks goes to Jim Warner, who matched the award.

The presentations were given to a three-judge panel, which consisted of Dels. Neil Parrott and Brett Wilson, and Warner, a decorated Vietnam War veteran and prisoner of war. He also was a domestic-policy adviser to President Ronald Reagan and was former legal counsel for the National Rifle Association.

The tea party wishes to acknowledge the assistance of Washington County Public Schools staff members in the endeavor for providing a venue, outreach and technical support.

The constitutional scholarships are funded by the groups annual gun raffle and donations.
