If I can remember right several T. Party groups were funded by Freedom Works which could mean they owe the 'Big Dogs" a few favors. Will Newt and Dick call in their seed capital in the form of endorsements?
Will we see the 'end game' of the investment into certain Tea Party groups for their supply of donors, supporters and Republican minions?
If we are going to endorse Newt, it should be because either we agree with him or because we MUST defeat Obama, NOT because we MUST return the favor.
I know this. This group TeaParty.org is beholden to no one and is completely self-funded. Furthermore, there are a few other groups out there that are self funded.
But who has been funded by Newt Gingrich & Dick Army's Freedom Works? Those are the ones we must carefully watch.
....and then again, maybe I'm just a paranoid, right-wing conspirator.
What the hell do you think? Are we a bunch of wackos or will there be favors paid back by Tea Party endorsements?

So nobody here has any proof?
Can anyone show me where FreedomWorks endorsed Gingrich? They've been extremely vocal against Romney and I receive their emails and check their website daily. I haven't seen anything.
Yes, Joela, you are correct. But I can't say anymore here on a public blog!
Well Joela, your right about 1 thing. TeaParty, Inc./TeaParty.org owe nothing to anyone. We didn't suck at the hind tit of any fat-cat PAC or get any cash infusion from some organization. By the seat of our pants we send out over 1 million direct snail pieces every month, 6 million email newsletters every month, 500 to 750K faxes to Washington every month and run one of the hottest websites/Command Centers in the T. Party movement. We have the first Tea Party Radio Hour broadcasted across America through Dr. Laurie Roth, PhD and the list goes on.
So, when you bring up the point how Newt and Dick have infused cash donations to certain T. Parties who are touching a nerve, because most members don't know that fact.
Please give me more information about your research.
Hey Joela, you have made a good point. I remember how Freedom Works spread some money around in 2009, 2010 and this year. I remember certain Tea Party groups who got fat checks. Is it possible they were bought and paid for? Perhaps not, but maybe just paid for.
I'll vote for Newt if I have to, but it will be a vote against Obama. As for some Tea Parties in political debt for cash infusions may be a valid point.
I agree, this group isn't in debt to any body.
