TEA PARTY EXPRESS VISITS LISA MURKOWSKI'S KETCHIKAN OFFICE

"Please Stop Calling Tea Partiers Racist" Group Pleads

The Tea Party Express (website: www.TeaPartyExpress.org) paid a visit to Senator Lisa Murkowski's office in Ketchikan today as part of a campaign swing through Alaska for Murkowski's opponent in the U.S. Senate race, Conservative Republican Joe Miller.

The delegation led by Tea Party Express Chairman Amy Kremer, included Gold Star Mom Debbie Lee (mother of the first U.S. Navy SEAL killed in Iraq), Navy SEAL Benjamin Smith, Tea Party Express Coordinator, Joe Wierzbicki, Tea Party Express Political Director, Bryan Shroyer and Tea Party Express Coalitions Director, Dustin Stockton.

The group expressed concern over Senator Murkowski's denouncement of the Tea Party Express as a "racist" organization - smearing over 400,000 Tea Party Express members (including over 1,000 here in Alaska) in the process.

Additionally, the delegation explained why the Tea Party Express has come out against Murkowski's re-election and is instead supporting Conservative Republican Joe Miller in the U.S. Senate race. Those issues cited included Murkowski's support for the bank bailouts, her Co-Sponsorship of Cap & Trade, her support for amnesty for illegal aliens, her support for Barack Obama's secondary stimulus and her support for taxpayer-funded abortions.

Senator Murkowski's office was represented by Staff Assistant Sherrie Slick, a veteran of the Republican political establishment. To her credit, Sherrie Slick was professional, gracious and courteous.

The Tea Party Express explained to Sherrie Slick that no matter who wins the race for U.S. Senate we cannot continue the out-of-control federal spending and erosion of our Constitution by the federal government.

"We were grateful for the courtesy extended by Sherrie Slick on behalf of Senator Murkowski, but make no mistake, the sins of Senator Murkowski are numerous, and we plan to hold her accountable in the upcoming August 24th election for U.S. Senate. It's time that Alaskans had a U.S. Senator who represented them better than Senator Murkowski has. Alaska deserves better," said Bryan J. Shroyer, Political Director for the Tea Party Express.

A MESSAGE FROM LLOYD MARCUS OF THE TEA PARTY EXPRESS

If you've been watching the news media lately, you've no doubt seen the press stories where the NAACP has been attacking the tea party movement as racists. They've even tried to turn conservatives and tea party activists against each other.

It's something I saw coming from a mile away. When I wrote the "American Tea Party Anthem" I included the following line in the song:

"So when they call you a racist, because you disagree, it's just another of their dirty tricks, to silence you and me."

And guess what: it's not going to work, and we are NOT going to be silenced.

The fight for our country's future is so important, and there is so much work that needs to be done by each of us.

I got involved in this tea party movement as a proud American (not a hyphenated-American, just a regular American like you and every other proud patriot) because I love this nation and what it was founded on. There is no other country in the world that celebrates and empowers the freedom of the individual as the United States does.

Our Founding Fathers left us a legacy of freedom that each generation must work to protect and uphold.

Sadly, corrupt politicians have sold us out and taken away some of those freedoms in recent years. They've grown the size and intrusiveness of the federal government. They've strapped us with massive amounts of debt. Our children and grandchildren will be dealing with these problems if we don't take action now.

Now here's the good news: Despite the media and the Left's attempts to derail this tea party movement over the past two weeks, the tea party movement has grown stronger, not weaker. We here at the Tea Party Express have had some of our strongest fundraising pushes for two of the U.S. Senate candidates we have made a priority: Sharron Angle in Nevada and Joe Miller in Alaska. During this time we've raised more than $200,000 to support their campaigns, and I want to thank you for that great support.

So how do we best push back against the attacks from the media and the Left? We work even harder. We fight with even great zeal and determination. And we realize that the ONLY reason we've come under so much fire from our opponents is because of how successful we've been thus far.

So, again, let's keep it up. We raised $200,000 the past two weeks helping conservative Sharron Angle defeat Harry Reid and conservative Joe Miller defeat RINO (Liberal Republican) Lisa Murkowski. I challenge you all to help us do even better for these next two weeks!

So please, help support our campaign for Sharron Angle in Nevada by making a contribution - HERE.

And support our campaign for conservative Joe Miller in Alaska by making a contribution - HERE.

You can contribute as little as $5 all the way up to the maximum allowed $5,000.

If you prefer you can mail in a contribution payable to "Tea Party Express" to our headquarters:

Tea Party Express
770 L Street #1020
Sacramento, CA 95814

Fellow patriots: I thank you for your past efforts, and now I ask you to join me as we put our chin out there, take the hits from the Left and the media, and prevail at the ballot box in the upcoming November elections.

It's simply the only way we can take our country back! If you'd please, forward this email and share it with your friends!

-Lloyd Marcus, Tea Party Express
