In a sign of desperation and panic, the Cochran campaign and the interests that are aligned with him keeping office, are starting to sound a lot like Democrats and the mainstream media in calling Tea Party candidate Chris McDaniel "extreme" and "dangerous."
We have seen the same sad, tired strategy played out over and over again but it is sad when Republicans join the chorus and slander their own grassroots supporters and fellow Republicans. We must not let such demeaning tactics work and must defend Tea Party candidate Chris McDaniel. We need your help to match the deep-pockets and influence of the Cochran establishment supporters. We are sick and tired of the politicians that we elect going to Washington and then turning their back on the conservative base and the issues that are important to us.
Thad Cochran has shunned the Tea Party to his own peril and continues to ignore and discount us and we need to send a message as the rest of the world is watching. Please join us and make sure that Thad Cochran is the next out of touch career politician to receive the message that we will not be ignored. In order to rally conservatives we are holding rallies throughout Mississippi this weekend before the special election on June 24th. For rally details, click HERE
