Below is a letter that went out from the Dallas Tea Party alerting us to outrageous behavior by our own Senator John Cornyn (R-TX). Immediately following the first letter is an update, and then following that is a recommended response if you contact Cornyn’s office.
Fellow Tea Party Patriots:
To many reformers, Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski is a poster child for what’s wrong with the Republican Party.
In 2008, the taxpayer-watchdog group Citizens Against Government Waste issued Murkowski a Lifetime rating of 54 percent–a score that put her five points ahead of Arlen Specter’s 49 percent rating. National Taxpayers’ Union was a bit more generous to Murkowski, awarding her a ‘C’.
On immigration, NumbersUSA rates Murkowski a C- overall, with a D on reducing illegal immigration at the borders and an F on reducing illegal immigration rewards.
Given this track record, it was no surprise that Murkowski drew a conservative challenger in the Republican primary this year–but many considered it a pleasant surprise that she found herself behind in the polls on election day:
With 100 percent of precincts reporting, [challenger Joe] Miller stood at 47,027 votes to Murkowski’s 45,359 votes.
Sadly, it’s no surprise that the National Republican Senatorial Committee, headed up by Texas’ own Senator John Cornyn, is dispatching the lawyers to save Murkowski’s hide:
Sean Cairncross, the general counsel of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, is headed to Alaska at the request of Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R) to help provide guidance to the GOP incumbent who finds herself trailing attorney Joe Miller (R) by roughly 1,600 votes.
Cairncross will spend several days on the ground in Alaska as Murkowski and her campaign prepare for the counting of as many as 16,000 absentee ballots — a process expected to start next Tuesday and continue through early September.
Committee sources insisted that too much should not be read into Cairncross’ presence in Alaska — only that the NRSC is an incumbent-retention committee and, as such, provides assistance when Senators ask for it…
Murkowski’s hope lies in the 16,000 absentee ballots that had been requested in advance of Tuesday’s primary. Slightly less than half that number — 7,600 — had been returned.
If you’re one of the remaining few STILL donating to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, you should know that your hard-earned dollars are being spent to save establishment-backed incumbents like Lisa Murkowski (and before her, Arlen Specter and Charlie Crist) from primary challenges brought by grassroots conservatives.
The situation in Alaska is a prime example of the reasons why so many conservatives have shifted their donations away from Cornyn’s NRSC and over to groups like Jim DeMint’s Senate Conservatives Fund and The Club for Growth.
If you have any “guidance” for Senator Cornyn on this issue, you can reach him as follows:

517 Hart Senate Office Bldg.
Washington, DC 20510
Main: 202-224-2934
Fax: 202-228-2856

Dallas, TX 75244
Main: 972-239-1310
Fax: 972-239-2110
Here’s a follow-up excerpt from Dallas Tea Party:
On primary election night in Alaska, Republican challenger Joe Wilson bested Republican incumbent Senator Lisa Murkowski by almost 1,700 votes in a stunning upset. The race isn’t over, though. As many as 20,000 provisional and absentee ballots remain to be counted. If Murkowski’s team of lawyers can succeed in qualifying enough pro-Murkowski ballots and disqualifying enough pro-Wilson ballots, Murkowski can yet win this election. Murkowski’s legal effort is being aided by Texas’ own John Cornyn, who’s sending legal assistance via the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
And here’s a bit of advice for those of you choosing to contact Cornyn:
“When we call, we need to remind Cornyn of the NRSC’s clearly stated mission:
About:
The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is the only political committee solely dedicated to electing Republicans to the U.S. Senate.
What We Do:
The NRSC provides invaluable support and assistance to current and prospective Republican U.S. Senate candidates in the areas of budget planning, election law compliance, fundraising, communications tools and messaging, research and strategy.
It says nothing about helping incumbents stay in power. They need to let the People speak for themselves in primaries and stop meddling.”

Haven’t heard much about Shirley in the news lately…..maybe this is why, huh?
http://beforeitsnews.com/story/110/024/Is_There_More_to_Sherrods_Dismissal.html
Andrew Breitbart is a media genius.
He proved it originally with his brilliant handling of the ACORN ‘hooker’ scandal which he skillfully manipulated so that the corrupt media was forced, against its will, to broadcast corruption in one of Obama’s most powerful political support groups. But Breitbart’s handing of that affair is nothing compared to his brilliant manipulation of the Shirley Sherrod ‘white farmer’ scandal.
It all began last Monday, July 22, 2010. As the country watched in horror, Breitbart released a snippet of a tape on his “Big Government” site which showed an obscure black female official of the Dept. of Agriculture laughing to a roomful of NAACP members about how she’d discriminated against a destitute white farmer and refused to give him the financial aid he desperately needed. As she smirked to the room, she’d sent him instead to a white lawyer – ‘one of his own kind’ – for help. The black woman was Shirley Sherrod – and almost immediately she became the center of a firestorm of controversy which exploded throughout the country. Within a day of the release of that infamous tape, the head of the Dept. of Agriculture, spurred on by Obama, demanded – and received – Sherrod’s resignation. Breitbart had won.
But then seemingly Breitbart’s actions began to explode in his face. As Sherrod screamed in protest, FOX News released the entire text of her speech last March to the NAACP. And there on tape Sherrod was shown supposedly repenting of her racism against a white farmer and instead championing his fight to win funds to keep his farm afloat. Within hours of that entire tape being revealed, the entire world turned against Andrew Breitbart. Conservatives throughout the country were enraged that he’d endangered their reputations by releasing a ‘doctored’ tape. Breitbart, they thundered, had dealt a fatal blow to the conservative media. I confess that I also was horrified at what I saw as the clumsiness and stupidity of Breitbart in ‘doctoring’ a tape to make a supposedly innocent woman look guilty. But now I discover I have been as guilty of haste to judgment of Breitbart as the Dept. of Agriculture was of Ms. Sherrod.
Only now am I realizing the real purpose for Breitbart’s release of that tape snippet. It was to allow him to cunningly trick the media into exposing one of the most shocking examples of corruption in the federal government – a little known legal case called “Pigford v. Glickman”.
http://pajamasmedia.com/zombie/2010/07/27/pigford-v-glickman-86000-claims-from-39697-total-farmers/?singlepage=true
“In 1997, 400 African-American farmers sued the United States Department of Agriculture, alleging that they had been unfairly denied USDA loans due to racial discrimination during the period 1983 to 1997.” The case was entitled “Pigford v. Glickman” and in 1999, the black farmers won their case. The government agreed to pay each of them as much as $50,000 to settle their claims.
But then on February 23 of this year, something shocking happened in relation to that original judgment. In total silence, the USDA agreed to release more funds to “Pigford”. The amount was a staggering $1.25 billion. This was because the original number of plaintiffs – 400 black farmers – had now swollen in a class action suit to include a total of 86,000 black farmers throughout America .
There was only one teensy problem. The United States of America doesn’t have 86,000 black farmers. According to accurate and totally verified census data, the total number of black farmers throughout America is only 39,697. Oops.
Well, gosh, how on earth did 39,697 explode into 86,000 claims? And how did $50,000 explode into $1.25 billion? Well, folks, you’ll just have to ask the woman who not only spearheaded this case because of her position in 1997 at the “Rural Development Leadership Network” but whose family received the highest single payout (approximately $13 million) from that action – Shirley Sherrod. Oops again.
http://beforeitsnews.com/story/110/024/Is_There_More_to_Sherrods_Dismissal.html
Yes, folks. It appears that Ms. Sherrod had just unwittingly exposed herself as the perpetrator of one of the biggest fraud claims in the United States – a fraud enabled solely because she screamed racism at the government and cowed them into submission.
But wait, it gets even more interesting. Ms. Sherrod has also exposed the person who aided and abetted her in this race fraud. As it turns out, the original judgment of “Pigford v. Glickman” in 1999 only applied to a total of 16,000 black farmers. But in 2008, a junior Senator got a law passed to reopen the case and allow more black farmers to sue for funds. The Senator was Barack Obama.
Because this law was passed in dead silence and because the woman responsible for spearheading it was an obscure USDA official, American taxpayers did not realize that they had just been forced in the midst of a worldwide depression to pay out more than $1.25 billion to settle a race claim… That’s BILLION, not million… OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS
But Breitbart knew. And last Monday, July 22, 2010, he cleverly laid a trap which Sherrod – and Obama – stumbled headfirst into which has now resulted in the entire world discovering the existence of this corrupt financial judgment. Yes, folks – Breitbart is a genius.
As for Ms. Sherrod? Well, she’s discovered too late that her cry of ‘racism’ to the media which was intended to throw the spotlight on Breitbart has instead thrown that spotlight on herself – and her corruption.
Sherrod has vanished from public view. Her ‘pigs’, it seems, have come home to roost.

Michael Badnarik author and Constitutional scholar presents a seminar on the Constitution.
Would it surprise you to discover that the United States is NOT a democracy?
Would you like to know – once and for all – what the “electoral college” is, and why we have it?
If you don’t need a government permit to exercise your First Amendment rights, why do other people need a government permit to exercise their Second Amendment rights?
Would you sign the Declaration of Independence today if it meant that Homeland Security would arrest you for being an “enemy combatant”?
Even if you think you know the Constitution well, you’ll be shocked at how much you were never taught. Come experience the passion and drama that shaped the birth of our country.

We’ve been trying to think of an effective and easy way to tell our neighbors and fellow citizens about the NE Tarrant Tea Party. We believe that if more people knew we existed and saw that we consist of normal, everyday people like themselves, they’d be more inclined to join us. What better way to tell our neighbors than with a yard sign?
We want all of our members to put signs in their yards promoting NE Tarrant Tea Party.
The signs will have our logo and our web address, and are the size of a campaign sign. They cost $8.25 each. If you would like a sign, you must pre-pay. And if you’d like to go one step further, purchase two signs. The second one will go around town where it will be noticed by even more people.
For those really dedicated to our cause, we need to build a Sign Brigade team in each of our cities. These will be groups of people who will put signs up on Saturday mornings and take them down on Sunday nights (like real estate signs). It’s a fun and easy job, and we hope it will achieve a lot in growing our membership!
Please sign up and pay for your sign at our next meeting; or you can mail a check payable to NETTP with “sign” in the memo line to 703 Peach Ct, Grapevine TX 76051. You may also pay online via Paypal. However, to cover the 3% charge that Paypal takes from all payments, you must pay $8.50 instead of $8.25, and you must type in ”yard sign” on the review screen where Paypal asks if you want to “add a message to the seller”.
Click here to see an image of the sign. It measures 18×24.
