MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

********************************************************************************

Statement from the SATP Board President

The February 7 Express-News has a front page article on the San Antonio Tea Party and Tea Party Support. As president of the San Antonio Tea Party Board of Directors, I emphasize what this article should make clear if read in entirety:

The San Antonio Tea Party is separate from Tea Party Support. There is no overlap in officers or board membership. There is no other connection, except that Mr. Matt Perdue, who is the principal of Tea Party Support, was formerly associated with the San Antonio Tea Party. We regret that Mr. Perdue is experiencing difficulties and wish him well.

The San Antonio Tea Party itself is moving forward with renewed vigor to make a difference in the 2010 elections, to try to stall the ongoing spending deluge that will drown our economy and our future. If you share our concern about the future, please support us.

Thank you

Regarding The SATP Mission – Statement from Board President

We have been criticized recently for communications that at least tread close to the line of candidate advocacy. While the San Antonio Tea Party, Inc. can and does advocate on issues, it is improper under its tax status to advocate for individual candidates.

The Board intends to adhere scrupulously to the limits placed on us. We apologize to those offended by previous communications that were at or near the line. We assure you that we intend to police this issue more closely and appreciate that the issue has been brought more forcefully to our attention.

To those who are frustrated by the limitation, we understand and sometimes share the frustration. But the rules are what they are. We did not create them, and we cannot be all things. We intend to focus on what we are lawfully permitted to do and do it to the best of our abilities.

Thank you.
Kenneth Bennight
President
