Wow — just read the biography on Itamar below, and you’ll see why you do not want to miss hearing Itamar’s insight on the current situation in Israel. Itamar is currently a candidate for US Congress, Dist 6. He travels to Israel frequently and is an expert on the subject.

Itamar Gelbman was born in the United States and, as a child, moved to Israel with his parents where he grew up. While studying Business Management and Computer Science at Tel Aviv University, Itamar served as an undercover reserve police officer in the Tel Aviv Police Department.
After graduation, Itamar joined the Israeli Defense Force where he served as a lieutenant in the Army Special Forces. For his service he received numerous awards, including commendations from the Chief of Staff, IDF.
Since returning to the United States, Itamar has worked as a security consultant for high profile clientele. He also advises law enforcement agencies on Israeli counter-terror, military and police strategies and border security.
Itamar also serves as a search and rescue pilot in the U.S. Air Force, Civil Air Patrol.
Since starting his first business in 2004, Itamar has created hundreds of jobs for Americans.
Itamar comes from fighting stock. Both parents served in the Army. All of his grandparents escaped from Nazi capture during WW II. His mother’s mother escaped alone from a mass grave in Auschwitz and his father’s parents leaped from the Holocaust train taking them to Treblinka.

Back by popular demand! We are excited to have Brandon Darby once again share his passionate insight with NETTP! If you missed his last presentation, here’s a partial transcript and video link. He was GREAT!
NE Tarrant Tea Party meeting
Guest Speaker: Brandon Darby on the Occupy Movement
July 9, 2012, 6:30-8:00pm
$5 dinner served at 6pm
Grace Community Church
251 Countryside Ct, Southlake 76092
Brandon Michael Darby is an activist who rose to international recognition for his role in co-founding and directing the Common Ground Relief organization in New Orleans’ 9th Ward in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Though once a prominent radical who worked with former Black Panther Party members, Palestinian and various other radical groups, his experiences led him to have a deep love for his country and to feel an obligation to support and protect its system. He once again gained international recognition for his role as an undercover operative in the FBI’s Informant/Human Source Program, working with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and having directly participated in stopping violence against U.S. and Israeli citizens. Furthermore, his public stance of being proud to have served with the FBI and his refusal to be silent and enter the Witness Protection Program has been a source of controversy and outrage amongst radical Leftist groups.
His work and efforts have been profiled in hundreds of print, radio, and television interviews. He has been a subject of numerous documentaries.
He currently resides in his home state of Texas and continues with his passion to investigate and expose groups and individuals who intend harm to the United States, though he now does so as a private citizen. He has become a staunch ally and advocate for the FBI’s use of informants and for the role they play in the frontlines of keeping citizens rights and safety protected.

About
Texas Action is a project of American Majority Action, a conservative, 501c4 non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of conservative principles and statesmen. We believe in the free market, American individualism and that when American citizens engage in the political arena, real change happens. As the Texas arm of AMA, TX Action works with grassroots conservative organizations to promote conservative candidates in both primary and general elections.
Our goal is to promote conservative candidates who will advocate for limited government, fiscal responsibility and free markets. Towards that end, we are deploying cutting edge election technology and partnering with grassroots conservative organizations to reach Texas voters and encourage them to vote for candidates who will fight for conservative principles in Austin.
The efforts that TX Action undertakes will not be unilateral endorsements and independent expenditure campaigns. We will work with grassroots
organizations and community leaders across Texas in an effort to further engage conservative activists and empower individuals to exercise a more powerful voice in the political process.
TX Action is partnering with a number of TEA Party and conservative activist groups to organize election headquarters, block-walking, phone-banking, and online advocacy initiatives supporting conservative candidates. In addition to traditional election tools, TX Action will deploy Gravity mobile canvassing technology (www.PowerOfGravity.com) in an effort to introducer a higher level of sophistication and efficiency to election efforts.
Endorsements
Texas needs more conservative Representatives in Austin and victories in North Texas races will be critical this election cycle. The candidates below are endorsed not only by Texas Action but by a number of conservative organizations that have long track records of supporting strong conservatives. We hope you will join us in supporting the men and women below in their efforts to provide North Texas with conservative representation!

Several of our NETTP members are hosting a sign wave for Giovanni Capriglione on Saturday, May 19, from 11am-noon at the intersection of Carroll and 1709… right under the street sign that directs you to Vicki Truitt’s office. 
This is the corner nearest to the gazebo. If you can join in, please email Fred at fdmccarty3@yahoo.com. Bring a Gio yard sign, or wave a flag, or make your own sign. It’d be great to have a couple signs that say, “VOTE HERE TODAY!” or “Early Vote NOW!” We’ll have push cards to pass out as well.
