Care to explain this Todd?
They tried creating a fake tea party here in Michigan and took a real beat down at the hands of the woman who later became out secretary of state. I believe some pretty serious charges are pending against a couple of them.
What a bunch of creeps!!

Yep; the tea party is filled with scammers, and anyone actually wanting to make a difference ought to only give to groups and people they actually know/are involved with.

Don't rely on the MSM "filtered for Idiots" version. Read it yourself.
Clearly a liberal criminal enterprise created to smear the right while making a little cash.
Aside from his work as a marketing consultant, Todd Cefaratti performs as Executive Director for the nonprofit organization TheTeaParty.net. Operating one of the most popular websites devoted to the Tea Party cause, Todd Cefaratti strives to involve more people in the political organization and clear up misconceptions about the Party’s philosophies, goals, and overall mission to promote limited federal government, more states’ rights, and an increased sense of personal responsibility and civic duty. Through the site, Todd Cefaratti signs up tens of thousands of people every week and coordinates national events and tours, some featuring important conservative pundits such as radio host Rusty Humphries. Before entering the business world, Todd Cefaratti attended the University of California Los Angeles on an academic scholarship and studied economics. Subsequently, Todd Cefaratti attended the University of California Irvine for a postgraduate degree in marketing.
Not all of the nearly 3,000 groups – and counting - that are part of the TEA Party movement are political action committees that are legally allowed to donate to candidates. In fact, MUCH more money went into education and outreach in the last election than went to actual candidates. And for good reason – the $5,000 maximum a PAC can give is nowhere near as important as bringing more volunteers and voters to the movement! TheTeaParty.net is a 501c4 organization; it can’t legally give any money to candidates. Our goal is to use the contributions we do receive – from less than 10% of those who use our many free online resources to get involved in the movement - to constantly bring more people into the movement. That means broadly marketing our name and message to as wide an audience as possible. The proof is in the pudding – as of this month, we have brought 80,960 people into the movement and connected them to state & local TEA Party groups nationwide. We give individuals the tools to get involved, and get others involved, in the movement. If each of those people had donated just $10 of their money to a candidate or group of their choice as a result of our introduction, we would have helped bring in a lot more money than we’ve spent bringing them in. That’s a success. -Teresa

OK, an additional question - do any of the companies contracted for these marketing costs have any fiduciary or other direct relationship to the principals in TheTeaParty.net?
BTW, 50 percent is a HIGHLY suspicious number. You can bury a lot in marketing costs.
Be careful of ANYone who has his hand out...
