ACTION NEEDED: Tell the @RNC That We #RememberMississippi

From Tea Party Patriots:

Today we need to make sure the RNC hears from the grassroots all across this country.

Call to Action:

  1. Call the RNC at 855-987-7019 and demand that they take up and pass the resolutions offered by Ed Martin, Chairman of the MO GOP to a) censure Henry Barbour (nephew of former RNC Chair Haley Barbour) and b) censure any other Republicans involved in the race-baiting in Mississippi.
  2. Sign our petition to censure Henry Barbour.
  3. Read our case study on what happened in Mississippi.
  4. Read why Ed Martin, Chairman of MO GOP is moving to censure Henry Barbour.


The actions in Mississippi cannot be ignored by the RNC. Doing so would make them complicit in the despicable acts that occurred.

Please make your voices heard today and forward to your friends who value freedom, election integrity, and simple human decency.

Remember Mississippi,

THE SHAMEFUL SEVEN: American Turncoats

By Senate Conservatives Fund

Seven Republican senators have now been linked to the racial attacks against conservative Chris McDaniel in Mississippi.

The financial report for Thad Cochran's super PAC was released earlier this week and contains two alarming details.

First, it shows that the following seven GOP senators gave a total of $160,000 to Thad Cochran's super PAC:

1. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) — $50,000 — (202) 224-2541 — Facebook — Twitter

2. Bob Corker (R-TN) — $30,000 — (202) 224-3344 — Facebook — Twitter

3. Rob Portman (R-OH) — $25,000 — (202) 224-3353 — Facebook — Twitter

4. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) — $25,000 — (202) 224-5251 — Facebook — Twitter

5. Richard Burr (R-NC) — $20,000 — (202) 224-3154 — Facebook — Twitter

6. Roy Blunt (R-MO) — $5,000 — (202) 224-5721 — Facebook — Twitter

7. Mike Crapo (R-ID) — $5,000 — (202) 224-6142 — Facebook — Twitter

Second, it shows that the PAC then gave a similar amount to a liberal group to run racial attacks against Chris McDaniel.


These senators fully funded ads that urged Democrats to “cross over and vote in the republican primary” and claimed that a McDaniel win would be a loss "for race relationships between blacks and whites."

They also helped pay for fliers that said, "The Tea Party Intends to Prevent You From Voting" and suggested McDaniel would roll back civil rights.

And perhaps worst of all, they helped pay thousand of dollars to Democratic activists to do so called "canvasing" to turn out votes for Cochran.

Is the Republican establishment using race-baiting and voter fraud?

By Lawrence Sellin

Apparently, the Republican establishment will use any means necessary to suppress spontaneous outbreaks of democracy among ordinary Americans.

Incumbent and Republican establishment darling Senator Thad Cochran (R-MS) faced a tough challenge in the June 3rd Republican primary from Tea Party-backed State Senator Chris McDaniel. Although Cochran maintained a lead over McDaniel in terms of campaign finances, the primary results did not provide a clear winner. McDaniel (49.5%, 155,040) received more votes than Cochran (49%, 153,654), but a third candidate, Thomas Carey (1.5%, 4,789), took just enough votes so that McDaniel did not receive the 50% of the vote necessary to avoid a runoff.

One week later, the Republican establishment was stunned when House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), who was in line to be the next House Speaker, was crushed in his primary by Tea Party-backed economics professor Dave Brat, who received 55.8% of the vote compared to Cantor's 44.2%.

That result set the stage for an epic battle between a battered Republican establishment and a rejuvenated Tea Party in the June 24, 2014 Mississippi Senatorial run-off between Cochran and McDaniel, a contest the Republican establishment knew it could not afford to lose.

The Republican establishment went into full panic mode when a WPA Research poll conducted between June 9th and 10th showed McDaniel's lead over Cochran among 500 likely GOP primary runoff voters had shot up to eight points, 49% and 41%, respectively.

Clearly, Cochran was losing ground among Republican voters and the Republican establishment likely then decided that it could only close the gap by adopting Democratic Party tactics and soliciting cross-over votes from registered Democrats.

Cochran used Democratic Party talking points about Tea Party candidates, leveling personal attacks against McDaniel, calling him an "extremist" and "dangerous."

BOOM: True The Vote Sues Mississippi GOP -- and by Extension, the GOP Establishment -- Over Vote Fraud

By James Simpson

True the Vote, the citizens initiative pursuing “free and fair elections for all Americans,” and 13 other plaintiffs have filed a lawsuit in federal court against the Mississippi Secretary of State and the Republican Party of Mississippi over the June 24 primary election runoff in which Sen. Thad Cochran edged tea-party challenger Chris McDaniel.

The lawsuit asks the court to grant immediate access to voting records to inspect for possible illegal voting. It asserts that “defendants failed to properly abide by federal election record maintenance and open records provisions codified in the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA). Records made partially available to the plaintiffs indicated ‘double-voting’ from Democratic to Republican primaries – potentially diluting votes in violation of the Equal Protection Clause.”

The complaint explains that the National Voter Registration Act supersedes Mississippi law.

“All we are asking is that the Mississippi State Republican Party follow the law; allow their designated county representatives to inspect the poll books and ballots, give them the review time they are permitted by law, and allow them to uphold their responsibility to Mississippi voters … True the Vote has been inundated with reports from voters across Mississippi who are outraged to see the integrity of this election being undermined so that politicos can get back to business as usual. Enough is enough,” said True the Vote President Catherine Engelbrecht.

McDaniel won the June 3 state GOP primary with a margin too small (about 1,500 votes) to avoid a runoff. Cochran won the runoff with 7,000 votes, allegedly by convincing thousands of black Democrats to cross over and vote for him in the runoff.

One campaign flyer in particular claimed McDaniel intended to prevent blacks from voting. A radio announcement implied that McDaniel was going to defund welfare and urged blacks to vote for Cochran: “By not voting, you’re saying, ‘Take away all of my government programs, such as food stamps, early breakfast and lunch programs, millions of dollars to our black universities …’”

YOU'VE GOT MAIL: NRSC Wants Your Money to Support "Proud Conservative Candidates" Like Thad Cochran

By Doug Brady

There was an interesting email in my inbox this morning:

Doug,

We have a lot of work to do in the months ahead before the midterm elections. In races across the country, there are proud conservative candidates waiting for the chance to step up and lead. And a Senate majority will do the most to deliver on our promise to lead the country back to prosperity.

But goals like this have steps along the way. That’s why I’m reaching out to you today – we are three days from the end of the month, and we could use your help to close the gap.

Meeting our monthly goals is essential to having the resources needed to compete. Senator Rob Portman has offered to triple-match your donation – which means that every dollar you donate is worth $4 to the NRSC.

Help us close the gap before the end of the month – in the next three days – with a donation of $25 or even more.

Let’s Get It Done,

Senate Republicans

In case you’re wondering, the answer is yes: The NRSC is indeed the same establishment group that spent $800,000 turning out Democrats to pick the Republican nominee in Mississippi earlier this week by, among other things, labeling the actual conservative candidate and his supporters as racists. And now they want me to give them money to help fund their efforts to employ Democrat voters — and tactics — to support "proud conservative candidates waiting for the chance to step up and lead" like … big-spending pork king Thad Cochran. I think not.

WAR: Steal a Page From Murkowski's Playbook and Write in Chris McDaniel in #MSSEN and Matt Bevin in #KYSEN

On Tuesday, Mitch McConnell and the Republican establishment crossed the Rubicon and then burned the bridge to cinders. It is now clear, thanks to leaks to Politico and a gloating editorial in The Wall Street Journal by Karl Rove, that the entrenched GOP establishment resorted to the most despicable tactics imaginable to prop up the pathetic, barely coherent incumbent Thad Cochran.

I refer, of course, to the actions of Rove, the Chamber of Commerce, Haley Barbour, et. al. in tarring U.S. Senate candidate Chris McDaniel as a virulent racist. In doing so, they not only attacked their own base, they not only stole a primary election using illegal tactics, but they also abandoned any semblance of principle.

WAR: THE MURKOWSKI PLAYBOOK

Truly disgusted, I thought to myself: why not use their own tactics against them? After incumbent Beltway RINO Lisa Murkowski lost her GOP primary in 2010 to Joe Miller, she ran in the general election as a write-in candidate. She won, becoming the first to win as a Senate write-in in 50 years.


I don't believe in sitting out elections. There are fairly conservative Senate candidates running in several states, and it would be a mistake to abandon them on the battlefield.

That said, Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Thad Cochran (R-MS) must both be made to pay a heavy price for their unconscionable actions.

WRITE IN CHRIS McDANIEL, CRUSH THAD COCHRAN

Chris McDaniel has a viable legal challenge against Cochran's outrageous victory. Had only Republicans voted in the, er, Republican primary, McDaniel would have won in a crushing landslide, by approximately 25,000 votes. As it turns out, however, more than 30,000 Democrats voted in the GOP primary, many of them illegally. Those Democrats who voted in the primary several weeks ago and voted again in the Republican primary broke state law.

Chris McDaniel is said to be considering a write-in candidacy.

Please contact Chris by calling his campaign office at 601-283-2156 or by email at info@mcdaniel2014.com and urge him to run.

He deserves to win -- and he can win.

WRITE-IN MATT BEVIN, CRUSH MITCH McCONNELL

Mitch McConnell needs to go. It is his hidden hand that is behind a range of attacks on conservatives, both overt and covert.

I urge you to contact Matt Bevin and ask him to file as a write-in candidate in Kentucky (he has until 24 October to do so, but obviously the sooner the better). I've already done so, asking him on Twitter.

IF THE GOP WANTS WAR, IT IS WAR THEY WILL GET

McConnell and Cochran must be defeated. I urge you, rather than sitting it out, to support their write-in opponents.

#RememberMississippi.
