A Tempest In A District 17 Tea Party (UPDATE – DEVELOPING)

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Following this developing story

Full disclosure requires you know that Angela and I have more than once locked horns over stances she had taken concerning a particular candidate during the congressional primary I felt violated the Tea Party rule of not endorsing a candidate.

I have spoken with a member of the leadership team of the now defunct Burleson Tea Party on the condition they remain anonymous to confirm this story.  That Angela has resigned and the Burleson Tea Party is dissolving is true.  The “hostile takeover” referred to is not.  By agreement of all parties, the Burleson Tea Party is disbanding.  The reasoning for disbanding is what we are attempting to discover.

Angela Cox is a passionate person, strong willed and full of resolve.  She will continue to be a voice in Johnson County and the northern portion of TX CD 17.

The Tea Party movement is the most important part of this current election cycle.  People who desire to be powerful and important will do many strange things to accomplish their personal goals and if the wrong person/persons gain control, the movement is doomed to fail.  The Tea Party groups in Johnson County must become major players for conservatives in our Congressional race and then join with other like minded groups and become the driving force for the 2012 elections that must change the direction our Nation is headed.  We will be watching closely as this story develops over the next few weeks.
