Action Alert...
Harry Reid and the Democrats’ New McCarthyism -
Voting on the DISCLOSE Act in ONE HOUR!
The Democrats are running scared, fearful of the impact grassroots activists will have in November. With the DISCLOSE Act, which will go into effect almost immediately, in time for the November elections, they will be able to effectively and legally shut us down. The effort to silence us before the elections is tantamount to a witch hunt. Read this email carefully for more information about this bill and then please make some phone calls NOW and tell them to VOTE NO!!

HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU
SENATORS TO CALL
From our friends at Freedom Action about this speech violating bill:
Even if somehow the speech restrictions in this bill were constitutional, their uneven application would be a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection under the law. Even the left-leaning Sierra Club has labeled the DISCLOSE Act a two-tiered system that is “unfair and undemocratic" and that smaller grass-roots organizations would be disadvantaged because they lack the resources to cope with "the additional disclosure burdens." The unions and the big non-profit groups get to keep their free speech given to them in the January Supreme Court decision, but the corporations and small non-profits lose theirs under DISCLOSE.
Also, President Obama and some Democrats are dishonestly stating that the Court’s decision would “open the floodgates for special interest, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections.” However, current federal law and Federal Election Commission regulations already ban foreign corporations from participating directly or indirectly in American elections. (see 2 U.S.C. § 441e and 2 U.S.C. 437g).
Exampleville, Ohio has two people running for U.S. Congress—Mr. A and Mr. B—in what promises to be a close race. Exampleville’s local Tea Party believes in Mr. B. The Tea Party wants to run ads highlighting Mr. B’s stance on cap and trade, federal spending, increased taxation, etc, but they don’t have enough money to fulfill the new highly complex reporting requirements from DISCLOSE. And DISCLOSE would force them to list their top donors, even if they are not necessarily the specific donors to the ads, in their ads. Besides, the disclaimers required could take up to 14 of a 30 second ad. The Tea Party gives up trying to run ads to support Mr. Republican.
In contrast, Mr. A has some well-funded unions who want to see Exampleville’s factories unionized, so the unions run ads against Mr. B and ads for Mr. A. Also, the Sierra Club and the ACLU (groups actually opposed to DISCLOSE) want Mr. A to support their issues, so they also run ads for Mr. A. None of these ads are subject to DISCLOSE’s requirements.
Guess who wins?
(For those interested, here’s a good link with information on the actual language and problems with the DISCLOSE bill, click here.)
The DISCLOSE Act exempts unions and very large special interest groups!! And the little guy is left without a voice.

Statement on TPE & Racism
This is a good time to emphasize, once again, our independence. Tea Party Patriots have never been involved with Tea Party Express. Tea Party Patriots, whether nationally or in Maine, does not work with the Tea Party Express.
Tea Party Patriots Maine does not tolerate racism in any form from any source.
We exist only to further our core values of fiscal responsibility, limited government and the free market.

Tell Collins & Snowe to vote no on Disclose
The pressure to vote for DISCLOSE is enormous and placed squarely on Snowe and Collins. They are being told the bill is fair since it covers unions and businesses.
Please explain to Senators Snowe and Collins that:
1. DISCLOSE sounds fair, but is written to excuse most liberal and union groups and restrict most conservative and grassroots groups.
2. Passage of DISCLOSE would be a major blow to the Republican Party's chances of winning in November.
3. DISCLOSE dries up acess to millions of dollars of Republican campaign funding, while making it easier for Democrats to raise money.
4. This is not another McCain-Feingold. It is a trap.
Please vote against DISCLOSE!

Help the Franks stay...
"Immigration, especially the illegal kind, is very much in the news these days thanks to Arizona’s frustration based legislation. Words like amnesty are bandied about and cause much furor. Little however is said for those who jump over the various legal fences to do it properly.
Even when you do things by the book, it can all go wrong. Just because you play by the rules ....Spare a thought for those decent people who try to come in legally and are put through the ringer by bureaucracy."

Happy 4th
Tea Party Patriots Maine would like to wish all our fellow Mainers a wonderful 4th of July weekend.
We would respectfully request that people take a few minutes to ponder the true meaning of the day. Spare a thought for those who spent their days defending those liberties we celebrate and cherish. Remember those that serve both home and abroad in your hearts as you sing the national anthem, wave at the parade and admire the fireworks.
If so moved please pledge yourself to spending the next year doing all you can to protect those liberties and freedoms you so dearly cherish.
