Steele Denied Slot at Tea Party
I just got the following press release from the Don’t Go Movement:
RNC Chairman Denied
Steele Not Wanted to Speak at Chicago Tea Party
NATIONAL- A few days ago Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele asked to speak at the Chicago Tax Day Tea Party. He was thanked for finally reaching out to the movement but denied to speak.
National Communications Director Juliana Johnson states, “Steele hasn’t shown any interest in this movement until now, until the cameras are rolling. We denied his invitation. In addition, this is a nonpartisan event, not an RNC event.”
Eric Odom, Director of the DontGo Movement, said in his letter to Steele’s people, “…We’re still excited to know that Chairman Steele will be in Chicago and we hope, after knowing that he’ll be in the city, that he’ll stop by and mingle with the Americans who will be rallying on April 15th. This will also present a fantastic time for Chairman Steele to LISTEN to what we have to say and perhaps gather some thoughts on what the RNC needs to be doing moving forward.”

hello?
Well, hi. I don’t think that anyone said it was a newsflash, but it is further evidence that the tea parties are not being organized by the GOP or the DNC as some people are claiming.
Between the initial and the fake email address I have to wonder what your motivation is for even caring why it was posted in the first place.
