BEWARE: IMPOSTER “Tea Party Group” Launches Third Party Petition Drive
As reported by Wendy Day – We learned today that a group called “Tea Party” has launched a petition drive to add a third party to the ballot in Michigan. Petitions are being circulated in the Metro Detroit area using paid signature gathers. This story was first reported by www.outsidelansing.com

“This effort is in no way tied to the Tea Party groups that I’m aware of,” says Wendy Day, President of Common Sense in Government. “This sounds like a liberal Democrat effort to split the conservative vote in Michigan.”

Thanks for all you do!!!

Keep the faith!
