The Tea Party is really showing their colors of being a corporate party now:
The Tea Party Exchange, the Dayton Tea Party’s program that seeks to link conservative consumers with businesses with like-minded owners to support the party’s cause, is getting mixed reactions from the public.
Mixing their businesses with politics has caused a backlash against some of the companies that joined the exchange, which gives a discount to Tea Party members with a TPX-Great American card and prompts the business to donate five percent of the sale to the local Tea Party chapter.
I have a list of the businesses in the exchange so far. If you are in the Dayton, Ohio area, I suggest not doing business with these companies:
- Anderson Mechanical Associates, LLC
