The Press Release:
A few weeks ago, an anonymous donor made a donation of $1 million to our national leadership. This donation specified that all the money must be distributed to the local organizations and was not be used by the national TPP. It also stipulated that each local organization in California could submit a grant application and specify how the monies, if granted, would be used to "get out the vote" and for no other purpose. The grant application was very detailed and required us to provide very specific information.
The Nevada County Tea party Patriots submitted our application for the grant on September 28, 2010. Prior to the announcement of the $1 million donation, the Nevada County Tea Party Patriots had begun our own "get out the vote" campaign on KNCO radio using our own membership to make the commercials.
This morning, 10/08/10 we received notice that our grant application had been accepted and that $10,000 would be transferred to the NCTPP account. Every cent of this money will be spent here in Nevada County at KNCO, The Union, Grass Valley Sign and others.
We believe that voting for whomever or whatever you choose, is the most sacred duty we have as citizens of this great country. Let's make this the largest turnout in Nevada County's history.
Stan Meckler, President
Nevada County Tea Party Patriots.
