Ut oh. Look what the GOP Congressmen are saying about the Tea Party behind closed doors:
They've said:
"The Tea Party is not growing. They are not strong. You do not need to worry about how they will react to your vote."
"If you do not like what we are doing, and don't vote with us, you should get the hell out."
Those sound like words from the White House or Senate leaders don't they? But they're not. These were comments made by Republican House Leadership and their allies behind closed doors.
Jenny Beth Martin is trying to gather the troops for a national Congressional office visit next Thursday.
Let’s get it all messy for them …
Here’s a bit more about what was said:
And here is what they plan to do about it:
So here is what we are gonna do about it. Pick a few of these – they’re the 59 Congressmen who actually joined the Tea Party Caucus – and program them into your phone. Set an alarm on you phone for 11:30 in your time zone, and give them a call.
Be polite, make sure they know you’re from Americans Against The Tea Party, and be brief. Just tell them you don’t approve of the fringe views of the tea party, then scoot. The ones on the phones are just kids in their early twenties who want to work in public service – you be nice, be quick, and let the teabaggers make a bad impression.
We’ll have a thread on the AATTP Facebook page – if you’re doing this pop in and comment, tell us how it goes.
