Here's Michigan's REAL Tea Party
The groups and leaders who comprise this state's Tea Party movement
With Tea Party organizer Jason Gillman breaking the news and Michigan Capitol Confidential reporting on it, the faux-"Michigan Tea Party" political party appears to be a dirty trick created by Democratic Party operatives. It's worth noting who comprises the real Tea Party movement in this state.
Posted here is the most comprehensive list available of the grass roots organizations and individuals who support the principles of limited government and have been involved in real Tea Party activities since the first protests against bailouts and excessive spending in February, 2009. There are approximately 128 listings, and the source is the Michigan Activists Calendar created and maintained by Mr. Daar Fisher, as of July 30, 2010.
