Almost two years ago after kicking me out of the organization, Tea Party Patriots filed a lawsuit against me. After enduring litigation for numerous months, I am making a public statement about this legal proceeding with Tea Party Patriots because I am under a court order to do so. The purpose of this blog post is:
· To clear up any confusion and publicly state that I am currently the Chairman of Tea Party Express and am no longer affiliated with Tea Party Patriots and have not been associated with the organization since September 2009.
· To make it known that before litigation began in this lawsuit I tried to settle with Tea Party Patriots. They refused to settle and filed this lawsuit against me seeking financial damages.
· To make it known that I entered into a consent order with Tea Party Patriots in an effort to negotiate fairly and to keep litigation costs down, as the best interest of the movement has always been my number one focus.
· To make sure it is known that to the best of my knowledge, I am in compliance with the contempt order that has been filed against me. This includes giving administrative rights to the Tea Party Patriots Google Group to Jenny Beth Martin, Mark Meckler, and Debbie Dooley as well as to affirm that I am no longer a part of Tea Party Patriots.
· To let the tea party movement know that I am focused on sending true conservatives to Washington and that I believe in the movement. We have had a tremendous impact over the last few years and will continue to have a strong voice in the upcoming elections.
I hope that these statements help to clear up any confusion that there may be as to my current affiliation within the tea party movement.
