A case in point for me is the recent expose about the actual candidate donation rates (% to candidates) of the top Tea Party sentiment/affiliated PACs. Frankly, they are embarrassing and disgusting IMO, and they certainly don't give me good reason to believe in the best hopes of a CoS.

I refuse to donate to any national group that claims to speak for the tea party. They aren't tea party. They are noise machines who collect money, spend it on themselves, and rarely help candidates. The only national group I've seen do ANYTHING is Americans for Prosperity.

Now many of the local tea party groups don't have much money and do good work with the money they have. They also actually give a damn about the issues like we do.

I have logged many volunteer hours with AFP in addition to some other smaller grass roots groups. I try to be so careful where I donate my time and money. That is why I was upset about NAGR.
