Thread: Distress call to all Tea Party groups, leaders & support

Tea Party Distress Call

August 5, 2010

All activists, please work hard to assure that multiple copies of this distress call are received by local and national Tea Party groups and leaders from coast to coast.

Attention all Tea Party movement leaders, groups, and supporters.

We respectfully request that each of you give strong consideration to contacting the US Senate campaign of JD Hayworth to offer your endorsements and support.

We just received word that incumbent Senator John McCain is reaching out to Tea Party groups desperately trying to find one or more groups to support his campaign. So far there are no takers, but McCain is trying to sweeten his offers.

McCain and some Tea Party elements, inside the GOP in Washington, are trying to prevent a landslide of Tea Party support coalescing around JD Hayworth's bid to unseat John McCain, in about twenty days on August 24, 2010.

While John McCain is flip flopping again on illegal immigration and talking tough about border security, McCain supports President Obama's plan to turn over 12 million illegal aliens into US Citizens and future voters.

If McCain defeats Hayworth on August 24, he will return to openly supporting Obama's immigration reform plan just as he did shortly before JD Hayworth announced his run against McCain.

All Tea Party leaders, groups, and supporters MUST REALIZE, if Senators McCain and Graham succeed in passing Obama's Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty plan, the Tea Party movement will be politically destroyed by millions of new illegal alien voters.

Many Tea Party groups are already responding due to our previous support and coalition efforts with the Tea Party movement. Many new groups are responding to my appeal in the article I released yesterday that is going viral on the web...

John McCain's Deception & Betrayal Must Be Stopped
http://www.alipac.us/article-5531-thread-1-0.html

As this call for aid courses through the veins of the Internet, Tea Party activists are fighting McCain supporters toe to toe in Arizona. Your brethren in this cause are making calls, planting yard signs in the heat, canvassing neighborhoods, attending events, and preparing to work polls for JD Hayworth! Several of them have asked ALIPAC to send out this call for aid because right now McCain is ahead by ten percentage points, but that can change rapidly in the final days.

Our team is being massively outspent by McCain's millions flowing in from Washington special interest groups that want more business as usual in DC.

JD needs votes, volunteers, endorsements, and funds!

Even if your top issues are excessive taxation, states rights, smaller government, etc.... instead of borders security or illegal immigration, IT WILL NO LONGER MATTER WHAT YOU WANT POLITICALLY FACED WITH MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS VOTING AGAINST BORDER AND IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT AND MORE ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS AND MORE GOVERNMENT TO BENEFIT THEMSELVES.

This is the best opportunity for the Tea Party movement to show that the movement is not simply a tool of the GOP establishment and corporate lobbyists in Washington who are throwing millions of dollars behind McCain.

We need your help and we need it now.

JD Hayworth now has the backing of over 16 grass roots Tea Party groups and leaders. McCain and his vote spoiler Jim Deakin have NO TEA PARTY GROUP SUPPORT.

Whether your group is in Arizona, Florida, or Texas, you can still help. You can endorse as a group, if your state laws and tax status allows or the leader of your group can endorse Hayworth separately from the organization. This is what McCain's campaign staff is asking Tea Party leaders to do.

JD Hayworth is clearly the choice of a super majority of Tea Party groups, leaders, and supporters.

Please help us create a landslide of national Tea Party movement support for JD Hayworth and a massive and unified rebuke for big spender and illegal alien amnesty supporter John McCain.

Let us remind all Tea Party supporters that John McCain's number one ally, and proxy, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) recently announced the Tea Party movement would soon be meaningless and destroyed.

Those of us who have studied John McCain closely and his attempts in 2006 and 2007 to help ultra-liberal Senator Ted Kennedy pass Amnesty for illegal aliens know exactly how McCain and Graham plan to help Obama destroy the Tea Party and replace the entire Conservative base of voters with millions of beholden illegal aliens turned into welfare dependents and US Voters.

Please contact JD Hayworth's campaign as soon as possible to offer your support at http://www.jdforsenate.com/


Please help us make sure this appeal for aid to all Tea Party Groups, leaders, and supporters reaches them.

Sincerely,

John McCain Wrong About Ken Buck
Written by CAA Alerts on August 05, 2010, 03:20 PM

Dear Fellow Conservative:

I have very urgent news regarding the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in Colorado. I have just learned that Arizona Senator John McCain plans to travel to Colorado this weekend to campaign AGAINST Ken Buck, the principled conservative in the race.

Ken Buck's opponent is the pick of the Washington establishment, but Buck has proven to be the pick of the people of Colorado. The old guard in Washington, aided by the liberal national media, is determined to stop the people of Colorado from sending a true conservative to the U.S. Senate.

In a prepared response, Buck's campaign consultant had this to say about McCain's campaign trip to Colorado:

"The visit comes as no surprise. McCain called on Jane to run. He rallied an army of lobbyists to raise money for her. Now, at the end of a desperate campaign, Norton's dragging Sen. McCain all the way out of her closet. He's coming to Colorado to personally attack Ken Buck."

Help SCF Support Ken Buck

Ken Buck is a rock-solid conservative and will bring positive, new ideas to the U.S. Senate. He's run a positive, grassroots campaign and is strongly supported by Tea Party activists. Ken Buck is an authentic conservative leader who will stop reckless spending, oppose amnesty, and fight for our constitutional freedoms.

As Buck came from behind and rose in the polls, his opponent began making dishonest attacks against him. When that didn't work, she began using gender politics against him, claiming voters should vote for her because she wore "high heels." When Buck jokingly told a crowd they should vote for him because he didn't wear high heels — a reference to his opponents desperate use of gender politics — she accused him of being a sexist.

This is exactly the kind of thing that Americans dislike about politics. Far too many candidates cannot seem to run on the issues and give people positive reasons to support them.

Help SCF Support Ken Buck

There are just a few days left in this race so Ken Buck needs your help right now. His opponent has the support of Washington insiders, but Ken can win with the support of the American people.

Please make a contribution to SCF so we can increase our radio ads for Ken Buck this weekend and win this critical Senate race on Tuesday.

Thanks to supporters of SCF, we've already invested over $300,000 in this race, but we need to do more to help push Buck over the top. It's not important that you give a lot; it's just important that you give something. If thousands of freedom-loving Americans pitch in, Buck will have the necessary funds to fight these attacks and win this primary.

If Ken Buck wins the primary and goes on to win in November, he will join a growing group of new Republicans in the Senate who will fight to take our country back.

Thank you for standing for conservative values and the principles of freedom.

Respectfully,
Jim DeMint
United States Senator
Chairman, Senate Conservatives Fund

email Via RINOHunters.org:

The RINOHunters PAC hereby announces that the following Republican Senator, being among the Republicans least aligned with basic common sense, does not deserve further election to any office above dog catcher--and even that is debatable.

The reasons for our focus on this RINO are known far and wide, but we try to never miss an opportunity to remind our fellow common sense Americans just how bad these people are. So, just in case you'd forgotten, here's the facts:

During his long career in the Senate, John Sidney McCain has rarely passed up a chance to break rank with the conservatives and align with the furthest-left elements of the Senate, including but not limited to the left-wing Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts and the far-left Russell Feingold of Wisconsin.

Highlights of McCain's long and infamous career include the following:

JOHN MCCAIN PROMOTES GLOBAL WARMING THEORY, SUPPORTS CAP AND TRADE AND OPPOSES DRILLING:

In spite of the continually-mounting evidence that the theory of man-made global warming is politically-driven junk science, McCain continues to promote the theory of man-made global warming and has been an outspoken advocate of the imposition of so-called 'cap and trade' taxes to stop it. (SOURCE)

In McCain's campaign for the presidency in 2000, he supported a federal ban on offshore drilling for oil. In June 2008, in the midst of a tough election campaign, McCain reversed his longstanding objection to offshore drilling. (SOURCE)

McCain has generally opposed drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. (SOURCE)

JOHN MCCAIN SUPPORTED THE WALL STREET BAILOUTS:

While claiming to be a champion of fiscal discipline, John McCain supported, against strong public opposition:

he $700 Billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) Wall Street bailout (SOURCE)
A $300 Billion mortgage entitlement bailout (SOURCE)
An $85 Billion AIG bailout (SOURCE)
A $25 Billion auto bailout (SOURCE)

JOHN MCCAIN IS A STRONG ADVOCATE FOR LEGALIZATION OF ILLEGAL ALIENS:

John McCain's record on immigration issues can only be described as abysmal. NumbersUSA gives McCain lifetime rating of D. (SOURCE)

McCain's recent ratings from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) are in a similar range: 0%, 0%, 15%, 44%, respectively. (SOURCE)

In 2004, McCain actively campaigned against Proposition 200, an Arizona state initiative intended to prevent illegal immigrants from voting or receiving welfare benefits, and requiring state agencies to report illegals to the federal government. McCain strongly opposed Prop 200, arguing it would be overly expensive to execute, that it would be ineffectual, and that immigration regulation falls only under the purview of the federal government. (SOURCE)

In 2007, John McCain teamed up with Sen. Edward Kennedy, Sen. Harry Reid, and Sen. Lindsey Graham to push for The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007, more popularly known as the 'McCain-Kennedy' bill. The bill would have provided legal status and a path to citizenship for approximately 12 to 20 million illegal immigrants residing in the United States. The bill also created a new class of visa, known as the "Z visa", available to anyone living without a valid visa in the United States on Jan. 1, 2008. The Z visa would give its holder the legal right to remain in the United States on a renewable, perpetual basis, and access to a Social Security number. The bill provided that a Z visa would be provided to an applicant automatically within 24 hours of a request. (SOURCE)

Critics of the McCain-Kennedy bill fought the bill based on several objections, including:

Completion of background checks would not be required for Z Visa legalized status.

Payment of back taxes would not be required for Z Visa legalized status.

Gang members, absconders, deportees, aliens with terrorism connections and child molesters would all be eligible for Z Visa legalized status

Aliens holding Z Visa legalized status would be immune from deportation.

Aliens holding Z Visa legalized status would be entitled to taxpayer funded legal counsel and arbitration, in-state tuition, student loans, and the earned income tax credit.

Altogether, benefits to illegal aliens under McCain-Kennedy were estimated to cost taxpayers
billions of dollarsSOURCE)

Ultimately, McCain was unsuccessful in overcoming the overwhelming public opposition to the bill, and the bill failed to achieve cloture in the Senate. McCain continues to advocate for what he calls 'regularization' although his campaign has declined to define what the term means. (SOURCE)

JOHN MCCAIN HAS LONG SUPPORTED NEW RESTRICTIONS ON PRIVATE GUN SALES:

While McCain has repeatedly touted his votes opposing certain gun control bills in support of his claim to support the Second Amendment, McCain's record in public office tells a very different story.

McCain has received fair to poor ratings on gun issues from the National Rifle Association, often garnering C ratings on a scale from A to F. McCain's GOA rating went from a "C-" in 2000 to an "F-" in 2006. (SOURCE)

In 1999, McCain told the Associated Press that he was in support of outlawing 'cheaply made handguns,' also known as 'Saturday night specials.' (SOURCE).

The same year, he told the Los Angeles Times that he was 'open to voting for an assault weapon ban.' (SOURCE)

In 2000, McCain served as a spokesman for a gun control organization known as Americans for Gun Safety, a group advocating licensing and registering all gun owners. The group ran advertisements featuring McCain supporting ballot initiatives in Colorado and Oregon imposing new and unprecedented restrictions on gun shows. (SOURCE)

In 2001, John McCain, Joseph Lieberman, Charles Schumer and Hillary Clinton came together in co-sponsorship of S.890, the 'Gun Show Loophole Closing and Gun Law Enforcement Act of 2001,' also known as 'McCain-Lieberman.' Dave Kopel described the bill as follows:

T]he McCain-Lieberman bill consumes many pages. Within these pages are numerous complications and loopholes, which give federal officials the ability to shut down gun shows entirely, to register people who attend gun shows, and to impose many other gun controls which have nothing to do with background checks on purchases. In short, a "gun show loophole" bill could be short indeed; McCain-Lieberman is long because its hidden agenda is so long. (SOURCE)

On March 2, 2004, John McCain sponsored an amendment to S. 1805 that would have effectively outlawed the private sale of firearms at gun shows. (SOURCE)

McCain publicly reiterated his opposition to private sales of firearms as recently as 2008. (SOURCE)

"for McCain to argue this week that he is reliably pro-gun relies on conservatives having very short memories." - John Lott, May 2006 (SOURCE)

JOHN MCCAIN SUPPORTS UNCONSTITUTIONAL BURDENS ON THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH:

In 2002, John McCain teamed up with far-left Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin to enact the "Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002," also known as 'McCain-Feingold.' The law provided for severe criminal sanctions, including steep fines and imprisonment, for those found to have violated its new speech restrictions. (SOURCE)

The bill was opposed by a broad coalition, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Right to Life Committee, the National Ass`n of Manufacturers and the National Rifle Association, among many others. They argued, correctly, that McCain's law ran completely counter to the First Amendment's guarantee that "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press." (SOURCE) (SOURCE)

In one case after another, the courts have ruled that the McCain-Feingold law directly contravenes the freedom of speech guarantees set forth in the Constitution. Earlier this year, the United States Supreme Court again stuck down major provisions of McCain's speech regulations as being in direct violation of the First Amendment's guarantees:

"The First Amendment prohibits Congress from fining or jailing citizens, or associations of citizens, for engaging in political speech...

When Government seeks to use its full power, including the criminal law, to command where a person may get his or her information or what distrusted source he or she may not hear, it uses censorship to control thought. This is unlawful. The First Amendment confirms the freedom to think for ourselves...

The regulatory mechanism here, based on speech, contravenes the First Amendment."(SOURCE)

JOHN MCCAIN OPENLY SUPPORTS KNOWN LEFT-WING REPUBLICANS:

In the 2010 Florida primary for Senate, McCain originally endorsed left-wing Republican Charlie Crist against Marco Rubio. (SOURCE) McCain recently withdrew his endorsement.

In the 2010 Illinois primary for Senate, McCain endorsed anti-gun left-winger Mark Kirk. (SOURCE)

JOHN MCCAIN HAS GENERALLY OPPOSED TAX CUTS:

For years, McCain refused to sign the Americans for Tax Reform Taxpayer Protection Pledge to not add any new taxes or increase existing taxes. (SOURCE) McCain finally agreed to sign the pledge for the 2010 election cycle. (SOURCE)

Despite his claim to support limited government and the free market, McCain voted against the economy-spurring tax cuts of 2001 and 2003, denouncing them as "tax breaks for the wealthiest citizens of this country." (SOURCE)

JOHN MCCAIN SUPPORTS FEDERAL TAXPAYER FUNDING FOR RESEARCH INVOLVING THE DESTRUCTION OF HUMAN EMBRYOS:

John McCain is one of four U.S. Senators in The Republican Main Street Partnership, a group of self-described 'moderate' Republicans, most of whom are pro-choice. The other three Senators are Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe and George Voinovich. (SOURCE)

Amidst an ever-worsening budget crisis and despite the fact that the most promising research on stem cells has come from adult stem cells, McCain has long advocated using federal taxpayer dollars to destroy human embryos for medical research. (SOURCE)

JOHN MCCAIN'S 'GANG OF 14' STUNT ABANDONED SOLID JUDGES:

In 2005, in the face of continued Democratic filibusters of 10 Bush judicial appointments denying the appointees an up-or-down vote, McCain conspired with a handful of Democrat and liberal Republican Senators in a cabal known as the 'Gang of 14.' The Gang of 14 agreed that up-or-down votes would be held on only 3 of Bush's appointments and the remainder would not go forward. McCain's activities completely short-circuited the negotiations taking place to conduct up-or-down votes on all of the judicial appointees. (SOURCE) (SOURCE)

Now, relax Sapper, One with the universe. Gov. Jan was going to sign SB 1070 on a Monday, but when Obama called it "Misguided," she signed it Friday, instead. The more you push Arizonans, the faster you may get the opposite result.
