    Tea Party for Trump Launches Get-Out-the-Vote Partnership with NRA in Ohio, Swing Sta

    Tea Party for Trump Launches Get-Out-the-Vote Partnership with NRA in Ohio, Swing States



    by MICHAEL PATRICK LEAHY
    23 Aug 2016

    Tea Party for Trump is launching a get-out-the-vote partnership with the National Rifle Association in Ohio and several other key states around the country, “including Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, and Florida,” the group announced in a statement on Tuesday.

    The group’s first meeting open to the public to explain the operational details of this partnership will be held this Saturday in Lewis Center, Ohio, just north of Columbus.

    “The great thing about this project is that volunteers from anywhere in the United States can help get-out-the-vote in these key swing states by simply signing up on our web site,” Tea Party for Trump spokesperson Bill Hennessy said. Hennessy is the co-founder of the St. Louis Tea Party, whose first rally at the Gateway Arch on February 27, 2009 attracted more than one thousand attendees and was part of the fifty similar rallies held around the country that day.

    Less than two months later on April 15, 2009, more than one million supporters attended Tax Day Tea Party rallies in more than 900 locations around the country, and the Tea Party movement was launched.

    “I helped found the Tea Party for Trump project because after a series of critical, hard-won election cycles in 2010 and 2014, I felt like we are ready to focus our efforts on winning the White House,” Hennessy added.

    Hennessy is the author of Turning on Trump, the story of his own conversion from an anti-Trumper to a supporter of the Republican presidential nominee on the basis of his commitment to the three core values of the Tea Party Movement: constitutionally limited government, free markets, and fiscal responsibility.

    “Tea Party for Trump is a fun, simple way for people to become involved in a substantial, productive way, no matter where you are in the country,” he noted.

    “Already, Tea Party activists across America have contacted us through our website to join us in Ohio, on the ground,” said Tom Zawistowski, a Founding Member and spokesperson for Tea Party for Trump.

    In July Zawistowki, the co-founder of the Portage County TEA Party and president of Ohio’s “We the People Convention,” a coalition of Tea Party and liberty groups in the Buckeye State, announced that group’s alliance with the NRA “to help win the critical swing state for Donald Trump.”

    “The majority of the TEA Party/Liberty Groups in Ohio will be aligning with the National Rifle Association in an effort to elect Donald Trump as the next President of the United States,” a statement from “We the People Convention” said at the time.

    Tea Party for Trump is a project of the Ohio based Freedom for All PAC and is organized by fourteen Founding Members, all of whom were original Tea Party organizers in their local communities when the movement launched in 2009.

    Its purpose is to help the existing partnership the “We the People Convention” has with the NRA in Ohio, and expand it to other key swing states.

    “Our project answers the question we hear most often from Tea Party and grassroots activists around the country: ‘What can I do?’” spokesperson Zawistowski said.

    “After a quick sign-up, volunteers from anywhere in the country can help. For example, people can make phone calls, travel to Ohio in person to help with get-out-the-vote efforts, or even participate in our unique Postcard Program,” he explained.

    Spokesperson Hennessy emphasized that, despite press reports to the contrary, Tea Party activism is alive and well in the 2016 presidential election:

    "In 2010, Tea Party and liberty-minded grassroots people organized to build the conservative majority in the House, where we won by record margins of 63 seats. In 2014, we focused on the Senate, picking up nine seats."

    "To date, along the way, a total of over 900 elected offices have been won at the local, state and national levels with the tireless efforts of people all across the country who are fed up with out-of-touch elitists telling them to ‘sit down, shut up, and do what we say.’"

    "After we deliver the White House to the outsider, Donald Trump, we can begin, in earnest, the process of returning our country to her founding principles of constitutional adherence, fiscal responsibility, free markets."

    After the first Tea Party for Trump public event is held on Saturday in Lewis Center, Ohio, a second event, a rally, will be held on Sunday in Festus, Missouri, near St. Louis.

    GO TRUMPERS!!! TRUMP and his TRUMPERS will be the reason he wins this election. Oh man, it's just painful watching CNN. I can't believe even CNN lets that awful Margaret Hoover on the air.

    The Trump campaign should be figuring out how to make each person attending these rallies into a vote-getting person. I mean he should really talk to them directly and personally!! The policy stuff can wait!! That will get covered in the debates anyway. They have to come up with a get-out-the-vote plan.

    And then on the debates: Hillary will be up to her usual lawyer tricks of trying to FRAME Donald Trump for whatever they think will stick. She is a committed liar/lawyer.

    They actually did that in the Austin Rally tonight. The Texans are going to hit the phones and road to get the vote out for Trump in 12 battleground states. I was really excited to see that happen at the rally tonight. It was GREAT RALLY. Terrific.

    Thank you Austin! Thank you Texas!!

    The best tactic if someone is trying to frame you, as Hillary will do with Trump, is just to assume that they are mentally immature and unhinged. I didn't say "Say it." I said assume. This should be conveyed in the way he responds to her---essentially just tuning her accusations out, going over her head, ignoring her.Essentially not giving those any weight as to the discussion. The tactic of the progressives, as I have seen time and time again, is to bait their opponents. We had that happen on Saturday, even had a US Senate candidate that they tried to bait. And their plan is to make a person angry and then make them go overboard in reaction. Then they can seize upon that.

    Better to treat Hillary like a novice or child.

    The progressive activists work within a bubble.

    Saturday I was at a Street fair and the local GOP had a booth. Pretty soon some young "activist" comes over and first seems just politely asking questions, but then gets into accusations of "racism." I said the first big, racial equality martyr was Abraham Lincoln. Then he started talking about genocide and the native Americans. I said that the native Americans did very poorly, until they got horses from the Europeans. This launched him into a tirade. Next some associate, from one of the local campaigns, comes over and that's when I thought things might escalate to blows, because our Senate candidate was standing his ground while they were insulting him.

    Young people are fed anti-Western propaganda while they are in school, then some of them work for a campaign or some other activity. They are in a bubble. The issue with Hillary is that she is the queen bee of this activism and will twist and turn the conversation to the direction she wants, and also appear to be more politically skilled (thus a better leader) than Trump, who has a non political style. But in dealing with these people you have to know what REALLY deflates their argument. It's best if Trump starts defining the issues, instead of the jingoistic"fairness, equity, equality....etc.) If he defines the issue (The US coming out on the short end of the stick, ALWAYS) he can look superior. But just watch it if they can appear to have the moral highground.
