Americans Against the Tea Party making a difference in Texas

Hopefully most of you are acquainted by now with the Facebook page Americans Against the Tea Party.
www.facebook.com/NoTeaParty

Founded April 3, 2010, Americans Against The Tea Party is open to ALL Americans who reject and oppose the Tea Party / GOP’s ideology and politics, fighting to expose their hatred and deceit – and working to defeat them at ballot boxes everywhere.

Sadler for SenateRecently, Americans Against the Tea Party was approached by the campaign for the former state representative and current Democratic U.S. Senate candidate for the great state of Texas, Rep. Paul Sadler, to provide any support we could with the online social media component of their campaign.

But how much of a difference is being made here? Does generating "likes" on Facebook amount to anything in the real world?

Today, representatives of Americans Against the Tea Party were pleased to announce that through their efforts they were able to assist not only with generating “Likes” for Rep Sadler’s Facebook Page, but were also able to create a traffic spike to his website leading to at least a dozen campaign contributions.


A whole dozen, you say?
