Keep Your Eyes Open

     At the Dec. 9 AFP event, ex-11th CDRC chairman Tom Stroup was going around to people wearing YesWes campaign buttons, and asking if they were currently a precinct delegate and if they planned on running again. Further inquiries included whether they planned to attend the state convention, what city they lived in, and what was the persons name.

     TEA party members are going to find this sort of thing going on intensively now. The Snyder/Calley forces want to make a list of conservative Precinct Delegates to defeat in the August election, and they are very actively trying to find out right now who the names are, before we get the word out to not tell them. There are a number of well known Republican figures, who frequently attend TEA party meetings, that are actually there to defeat TEA partiers. The more idealistic of us might not think this is possible, that Republicans don’t do stuff like that. You can expect to find familiar smiling faces giving you a warm greeting, telling you how much they are 100% on your side, while actively planning to prevent you from getting to any state conventions. Be aware of who you are talking to; 2014 is going to get very ugly.
