Romney: I’m the Ideal Tea Party Candidate
◼ Alternate headline: Romney campaign to unveil breakthrough memory erasing technology - Michelle Malkin
Mitt Romney said today he’s “the ideal candidate” for the Tea Party movement because his stance on issues lines up “pretty darn well” with the movement he says will soon realize that GOP frontrunner Newt Gingrich isn’t their best option for president.
“I recognize that the speaker has a big lead here,” Romney said of Gingrich in a press conference in South Carolina. “But I think as people take a closer and closer look, they’ll recognize that I reflect more effectively the positions which they hold on key issues.
Parental Rights Amendment
As some of you are probably already aware, a Parental Rights Amendment is slated to be introduced into congress in the near future. Its purpose is to make clear in law that, "The liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children is a fundamental right."
The Parental Rights Amendment is largely a response to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), a disturbing piece of UN legislation that would give the government new legal authority to overrule parents' decisions about their children's upbringing and would require that all children be raised to respect the principles of the UN. The Convention would also bind the government to enforce a number of outrageous "rights" of children, such as "freedom to...receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds...through any other media of the child's choice." The UNCRC will likely be ratified by the United States, and even if not ratified, may be applied through the courts as "customary international law."
Without the Parental Rights Amendment, families would be at the mercy of international laws like the UNCRC, as well as the domestic threats posed by Big Government liberals. The Parental Rights Amendment formalizes a long held right of the American people to raise their families without undue government intrusion. More information about both the Parental Rights Amendment and the UNCRC is available at www.parentalrights.org. Please take a quick moment to call Representative Thompson at 202-225-3311. Tell him, "I know that a Parental Rights Amendment is about to be introduced into congress, and I want to encourage Mr. Thompson to support it when it is."
Thank you!

Colin Powell Blames Media and Tea Party for Divisive Tone in Washington
◼ It goes without saying that I very much agree with Powell's point concerning the media's role in the political divide in the nation. - Noel Sheppard/Newsbusters
However, although the question was asked by Amanpour, any discussion of the Tea Party's involvement in the current tone should certainly have involved the Occupy Wall Street movement and what its participants both overt and covert are doing.
This is particularly important given the press's adoration for a group so antagonistic to the most successful members of the society.
Also missing in this segment was how a president and a political Party that are stoking the flames of class envy fit into the current caustic environment.
When the leader of the nation continually talks about the rich not paying their "fair share" - doing so in a fashion that defies any knowledge of the current tax code as well as who's actually paying most of the costs associated with the federal government - this has as much to do with the divisive tone as anything else if not more.
Not at all surprisingly, this wasn't addressed by Amanpour or Powell.
Second Michigan Democrat pleads no contest in ‘fake’ tea party scheme
◼ Former Oakland County Democratic party official Jason Bauer pleaded no contest Monday to five felony charges related to an alleged 2010 plan to place "fake" tea party candidates on multiple election ballots in Michigan, the Detroit Free Press reports. - Yahoo! News
Under the alleged scheme, dummy third-party tea party candidates would help siphon conservative votes away from Republican candidates. The resulting split in the conservative vote would, according to the plan, boost the candidate on the Democratic ballot. Several of the people listed as tea party candidates said they didn't even know that they had been listed on the ballots, the newspaper reports.
Bauer, the former operations director for the Oakland County Democrats, was charged in March with corruption in the tea party case, together with the county Democratic chairman, Mike McGuinness. Other related charges in the case included forging signatures on candidate affidavits and perjury. Bauer drew an additional charge of notary fraud in his indictment. McGuinness pleaded no contest to two felony charges last month.
Adding insult to felony for the two defendants, the alleged Oakland County scheme wasn't even successful. The state Supreme Court disqualified the phony local tea-party slate prior to the elections.
With the rise of the tea party in 2010, similar accusations of scheming Democratic officials backing bogus tea party candidates cropped up across the country.
