They also own and are having the National Tea Party Convention soon and are trying to put a face on it and disguise it as "our" convention. Not only that but they have decided to hold it at a ritzy over the top and outrageously expensive Opryland Hotel in Tennessee! When most of us are the working middle class and in the middle of economic hard times it's just ridiculous!

This is where the grassroots tea party revolution will be hijacked by the GOP. TPN is owned by an attorney and through his trained and careful wording believes they have started the tea party movement, of course without saying as much.

They will attempt to consolidate all tea parties and be the ones in charge and leading the direction. If the other independent tea party groups give TPN any more importance, power or control of their direction then the true grass roots movement will die and have been for nothing. I would be very cautious about signing anything from TPN or just skip the convention all together.

Here's how they answer questions to new members asking before deleting their accounts.

"Yes, can TPN please clarify their principals? I see the word "conservative principals" being used often and many broad generalizations. Can you please clarify the goal of TPN? Is the goal to revolutionize the system in a true diverse conservative grassroots takeover? Or do you plan to just get rid of the "RINO's" and return to the "roots" and support towing the party line of the GOP?

Just a little concerned because those "roots" from both parties seem to get "uprooted" every few years and nothing ever changes. So can you please clarify your stance and be specific please? If you do not plan on reviving the hard nosed party line policies of the GOP, can you please explain what stances you'd approach differnetly and why? Thanks"

Sherry Phillips (owners wife) welcome to TPN, please click the FAQ page to read what TPN stands for.

Judson Phillips(owner) Welcome, please browse the comments and discussions and you will find your answer.

(me)Yes I have read the FAQ's and read some discussions. I do not want to rely on the opinions of your members in informal discussions. I am looking for a straight forward honest answer from the leaders and organizers of TPN before I choose to get involved and active.

I am expecting an answer like a neighbor would give vs. a politician unable to give a simple answer. I think that's fair, here are the questions your FAQ page raises for me. Can you please clarify? Your time is appreciate, thanks.

What Is The TPN?

"Tea Party Nation is a group of like-minded individuals who believe in our God given Individual Freedoms written out by the Founding Fathers. We believe in Limited Government, Free Speech, the Second Amendment, our Military, Secure Borders and our Country!"

Saying that you believe in Limited Government, Free Speech, the Second Amendment, our Military, Secure Borders and our Country is certainly conservative, but is very broad as it is also not only conservative values but GOP values as well.

What Are The Goals of TPN?

"It is our hope that Tea Party Nation helps its members focus on ideas, solutions and actions to help one another in this fight against liberalism and the reach of an ever-expanding government who has ignored the will of “We the People” for far too long."

Ok, I understand the fight against liberalism and the reach of an ever-expanding government that ignores the will of the people. Doesn't this include the GOP equally the same as the left?

What Is The Plan Of TPN?

"We hope to provide the tools and communication necessary for organizing against a government who has stopped listening to the people who put them in office. We want to help our members take those who are unresponsive to “We the People” out of office and replace them with those who hold Conservative values."

Again, many who hold "conservative values" are the GOP who are equally as guilty to being unresponsive to the will of the people.

TPN's response: They banned my account. Nice.

Stop giving turncoat groups and the RINOs they love money! Find true conservatives, and give THEM your money! Heck, this is what politics has always been about. It isn't about keeping entitled, entrenched "Party Regulars" in power, it's about putting the right people in the right places to stand up for our country and our values. This is what the National Federation of Republican Assemblies was created to do. Let's never forget that, and let's never stop fighting!

For the past nine months we have been on our heels watching them shove socialism down are throats. I have just issued a letter to Barack Obama requesting a 90 day ceasefire in his economic war on America.

For 90 days or one tax quarter, I want the government to annul the 1st quarter 941 for all corporations and individual businesses that file schedule c's

From January 1 to March 31, 2010 no American will have to pay income or payroll taxes. This is very easy for the government to do. And the IRS can be shut down for 90 days to help save money.

The economic benefit to America could be fantastic. Now that is a Stimulus Bill the Republican Wing of the Republican Party can get behind. I look forward to seeing you in Reno for I am one of the Republican conservatives running for the US Senate to challenge and replace Harry Reid. Bring your checkbooks, I need money. What else is new?

I try to be a positive person, but this is beyond ridiculous.

We need to stop asking "where will it stop?" and start taking action to stop it.
