Chicago, IL – Liberty First PAC (http://www.libertyfirstpac.com), a national committee of tea party organizers and activists, announced its full support and endorsement of J.D. Hayworth in his campaign for U.S. Senate in Arizona today. The announcement comes as one of the first unified “tea Party” calls for support of a challenge to Senator John McCain in his bid for re-election.
The endorsement is in reaction to a poll at TaxDayTeaParty.com that questioned more than 3,500 respondents on whether or not they would support J.D. Hayworth in his campaign for Senate against John McCain. 79% of the activists polled said they would support Hayworth.
Eric Odom, Chair of Liberty First PAC and a Chicago based Tea Party Organizer, blasted John McCain saying “he’s a progressive who betrayed liberty in favor of special interest and Washington political points.”
Erika Franzi, an Asheville organizer with the Asheville Tea Party, says “John McCain’s memorable bipartisan efforts, including Campaign Finance Reform, Climate Stewardship, Amnesty, and TARP, demonstrate his lack of regard for the constitutional limitations of the federal government.” Franzi went on to say that “Senator John McCain is not a liberty candidate,” and says the Asheville Tea Party supports J.D. Hayworth’s bid for Arizona Senate.

Go JD!!
Yes, this is a battle between the GOP establishment and the little guy wanting responsible government. Let’s hope we can defeat the “backroom” boys. Go JD.
Go JD !
GO J.D.! Go Tea Party!!!!!!!!!!!!! If the GOP can’t drop this fool . . . well. Let’s just say McCain’s day has come. He is going to try to drag all the rest of us down with him. Sadly Sarah and the GOP have grabbed his hand as he is gasping and should be just let go of to drown. Nothing more powerful than a hand grabbing another as they are fighting not to drown. The hand will take anyone down who does not let go.
So Sarah, how’s that Tea Party thing work’in for ya?
Good news, thanks for posting
You just know the GOP establishment is worried sick about the Tea Partiers.
They are losing control.
If Juan McLame and Crist lose then the GOP is in free fall.
Go Rubio, Go J.D.
Does anyone have any recent poll data from Arizona?
Every Tea Party should weigh in on this question McCain or JD Hayworth—coast to coast. We must support conservatives over RINOs.
“The entire GOP establishment is pimping for the RINO. That’s all you need to know.
Go JD!! “
The DNC machine got the minorities and the GOP got the Christian right. And they are all being used!
Neither of these party’s leadership represent us and we better figure that out PRONTO.
And no, I don’t promote a 3rd party...I would rather see the two we’ve got..GONE.
Minority Advocates, Constituents Differ on Immigration - Zogby poll
Zogby Finds Wide Support for Enforcement, Lower legal entry Numbers - Feb. 25, 2010
The overall findings of this poll show a significant divide between the perception that minority voters want legalization and increased legal immigration and the reality, which is that they want enforcement and less immigration
In contrast to the leadership of many ethnic advocacy groups, most members of minority groups think immigration is too high.
* Hispanics: 56 percent said it is too high; 7 percent said too low; 14 percent just right. * Asian-Americans: 57 percent said immigration is too high; 5 percent said too low; 18 percent just right. * African-Americans: 68 percent said it is too high; 4 percent said too low; 14 percent just right.
Most members of minority groups do not feel that illegal immigration is caused by limits on legal immigration as many ethnic advocacy groups argue; instead, members feel it’s due to a lack of enforcement.
* Hispanics: Just 20 percent said illegal immigration was caused by not letting in enough legal immigrants; 61 percent said inadequate enforcement. * Asian-Americans: 19 percent said not enough legal immigration; 69 percent said inadequate enforcement. * African-Americans: 16 percent said not enough legal immigration; 70 percent said inadequate enforcement.
Most members of minority groups feel that there are plenty of Americans available to fill unskilled jobs.

Yea!! I was hoping the TP movement would publicly endorse JD.
I believe Sarah is still backed by the Tea Party. She has an excuse for backing McCain.
GOOD choice! GO JD!
