Yesterday, I attended the fifth of five statewide rallies hosted by Tea Party and other groups who had an opportunity to vet candidates for a challenge to Lamar! in next year’s primary.

I had solicited FReeper input here,

Beat Lamar! : Help Me Vet Joe Carr

Rather than give a detailed report, I will say that my impression is that Joe would win the support of 99.99% of us. Almost all on the issues suggested to me in the thread were covered. If there are any questions, I would try to answer them. I did not record or video, since I was pressed into service at the swag table.

There will be an official announcement from The Real Conservatives The Conservative National Commitee concerning endorsement later today or tomorrow. They have a state of the art ground game plan that is already underway.

Personally, I am excited with the real prospect of enabling Lamar! to spend more time with his family and his piano.

p.s. I invited Joe to join and post on Free Republic. Hope he does it!

Ping. Let me know if you want to be added / removed.

I had to rebuild the list. If I missed anyone who asked to be added, please let me know.

[who knows what evil?]

Might have to move back there so I can actually vote FOR someone...

[don-o]

A substantial number at the rally yesterday were immigrants.

I wanted to make sure you see this, Jim.

Keep your spirits up! I believe you will come out of this thing feeling better than you have in years.

[DeWalt]

Legal or Illegal?

[DIRTYSECRET]

We are conservatives! We shouldn’t need rallies or money! He’s safe.

[DeWalt]

It takes money to campaign. Even in your own state.

[don-o]

Excuse me? What are you talking about?

[Dracomeister]

Add me to the list! Born and raised in the great state of Tennessee, left for 30 years, just moved back to stay. I called him a TRAITOR to his EMPLOYERS now I want to see him and his partner in crime (Corker) replaced by someone who actually works FOR the people of Tennessee!

Illegal Alien Amnesty is a no go....no candidate can be conservative and support Illegal Alien Amnesty in any form

[don-o]

Added and welcome home, Brother.

Check out the links above and get signed up for the ground game.

I had previously posted a wrong number on how many vetted doors we will knock on. The correct number is 700,000.

[Theodore R.]

If this potential is true, people in Maryville are not going to like it!

[Hoodat]

Are you referring to Mar-vul, just south of Alcoa?

I'd like an answer as well, don-o.

You had stated that there were lots of immigrants there.

My support (financial and otherwise) of Carr will be predicated on whether or not he is completely anti-Amnesty.

[don-o]

You had stated that there were lots of immigrants there.

I used the term in relation to folks moving to Tennessee from other STATES.

Concerning foreign immigration - secure the border and enforce the law. No to amnesty. Further the 14th Amendment does not grant citizenship to babies of illegals.

Let's nip that in the bud! It is unfortunate that the word immigrant now is associated so closely with illegal. While I understand that, my comment was using the word in reference to someone moving to Tennessee from another state

Link to see Joe Carr’s voting record in the Tenn General Assembly

[don-o]

Sen. Lamar Alexander often votes with Obama, study shows

[Grammy]

Oh please add me to your list! I won’t ever vote for that man again.... even if I must vote for a democrat.
