I just got home and pulled a mailer from my mailbox. This mailer was sent out by TEA (a political party that is using the tea party movement for its own selfish gains) supporting a local candidate. Please do not be fooled by this mailer. TEA has no association with the tea party movement at all! In fact, Don Hersenling has filed lawsuits against TEA candidates for intentionally attempting to mislead Florida voters. This mailer is an attempt to mislead the voters of Hillsborough county!
In fact there are real tea party groups suing TEA re:South Florida Tea Party, Inc., et al., v. Tea Party, et al., Case No. 9:10-cv-80062-MARRA/Johnson, United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. This mailer is an example the those involved with TEA are despicable and lack any integrity.
Here is list of those that oppose TEA:
