Texas Tea Party Groups Unite for West, TX Explosion Victims

Immediately following news of the devastating explosion of a fertilizer plant in the rural Texas town of West, the nearby Waco Tea Party began organizing efforts to help those affected.

The group’s president, Toby Walker, called a local hotel and secured a room for the wives and families of first responders. Wives and mothers began to receive updates from the front lines as they charted a course of action for the following day.

Local distribution centers were identified and the conservative networks were activated to volunteer and help operate the collecting, sorting, and distribution of needed items. Breitbart News’ own Brandon Darby was asked to go and help with the efforts.

Darby had extensive experience with relief efforts in post-Katrina New Orleans and now runs Citizen Patriot Response, a group that mobilizes Tea Party and other liberty-minded groups to help communities in need. Darby began sorting through the fog of disaster and reporting the facts to the public-at-large shorty after last night's tragic accident.

Almost immediately, area 912 groups began mobilizing relief efforts. Houston’s King Street Patriots and True the Vote networks were notified; the groups’ offices were established as an aid collection center for the people of West.

All of the various groups involved have pledged to continue mobilizing the Tea Party, 912, and other right-of-center movements into a relief and aid network for the people of West.

The local Waco Tea Party has compiled a list of things needed, where money can be donated, and locations where items can be sent.

A Houston aid drop-off location was also established by King Street Patriots and True the Vote.

Serious question:

Did the Tea Party mobilise in the wake of Superstorm Sandy? Or the San Bruno gas explosion?

Are there any Tea party members in Calif and jersey ?

Oh, certainly in California.

Apologies, the Unions turned away everyone who showed up. They also turned away truckloads of gear, supplies, and food.

The Unions were not taking notice of who it was, so if any Tea Party group showed up? Well, they were turned away, also.

Yes, it did. They organized to prevent relief efforts from being funded. Made NJ's governor quite mad.

Do you know that Tea Party groups showed up? I never heard of it, but I could be wrong.

Also, I'm pretty sure that the "union thugs turning everyone away" thing was debunked. http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/sandyunion.asp

No facts, please. They are frowned upon by the tea partiers.
