The logo at left is for a REAL tea party organization.
However, the FAKE political tea party candidate for US Congressional 8th District (Orlando & Lake County area), Peg Dunmire, distributed a flyer to many homes by mail that claimed an endorsement from tea party leaders and included a picture of Patricia Sullivan, who ran in the primaries,but lost to Daniel Webster. (See link below to press release and copy of the mailer) Webster is now the favored candidate by Republicans, this blog, and most REAL Tea Party activists (which is NOT a registered political party on the ballot).
Dunmire's FAKE political tea party was created by Democrats to split the vote so Democrat Alan Grayson could be re-elected.
Get that?
Anyway, Dunmire is trying to confuse uneducated conservatives and tea party followers by claiming she was endorsed by REAL tea party activists, Sullivan and others, when that is not true.
So, Sullivan has announced a press conference for 8am tomorrow at the Orlando offices of Daniel Webster to denounce Peg Dunmire's attempt to confuse voters. Dunmire even included a picture of Sullivan in the mailer without permission, and the picture is copyrighted.
Below is the press release from Sullivan in pdf format. Watch for news about the issue in the media. REMEMBER, the active tea parties are NOT a political Tea party, and the "Tea Party" that is listed on the ballot with Dunmire's name is a knock off of the Tea Party name by Democrats.
Don't believe them. Vote for Daniel Webster and ignore Dunmire, Alan Grayson or any other candidate.

Here is what Dave VonGunten from the North Lake County (FL) Tea Party sent out:
To: North Lake TEA Party Patriots
Say It Ain't So
OK
I WILL
Patricia Sullivan is NOT endorsing Peg Dunmire
Or any of the other TEA political party candidates.
Unless something has changed since the Unity Rally
Todd Long, Dan Fanelli and Ross Beiling
ARE NOT endorsing any TEA Party Candidates as indicated in the Dunmire mailer.
This notice is in reponse to a mailer sent by Diane Kepus for Peg Dunmire. It featured Patricia Sullivan's picture which was unauthorized for use by the Dunmire campaign. It is an absolute LIE that Patricia, Todd Long, Dan Fanelli and Ross Beiling are supporting Peg Dunmire. Who stands to gain from votes for Peg Dunmire? Who is underhanded enough to finance this mailer? A vote for Dunmire is stolen from whom? Obviously, the answer to that question is Daniel Webster. Who then gains if a vote is cast for Dunmire?
This is the lowest of low in political dirty tricks.
A Press Conference Is Scheduled!
Patricia Sullivan will give a Press Conference from Daniel Webster's campaign headquarters on Monday, October 25, at 8AM.
