TEA PARTY PATRIOTS 10/23/2015 LERNER OFF THE HOOK DUE TO OBAMA INTERFERENCE

Pres. Obama's Justice Department Lets Lois Lerner Off the Hook
Today, President Obama's Justice Department announced they would not seek criminal charges against former IRS employee Lois Lerner, who oversaw the targeting of American citizens for their political beliefs. Tea Party Patriots CEO and co-founder Jenny Beth Martin released a statement on the decision, saying: "This is just the latest evidence that the Justice Department, whether under Eric Holder or Loretta Lynch, has simply become the political hatchet-men for President Obama and his cronies throughout the Administration. Clearly, we cannot rely on the Department of Justice to provide justice. Consequently, we continue to urge Congress to vigorously investigate the IRS, Ms. Lerner, and their illegal persecution of law abiding American citizens." You can read her whole statement here.

Ex-Im Bank Vote Coming Monday!
The House is set to have a vote to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank on Monday. You'll remember this is a crony government agency that sends billions of our tax dollars to some of the world's largest corporations. The Ex-Im Bank expired on June 30th of this year thanks in large part to the work of millions of grassroots activists along with Senator Ted Cruz, Congressman Jeb Hensarling, and others. How many times can we say a government program shut down? We have to do everything we can to stop it. Be prepared for an action email on Monday morning to make phone calls and tweets to Members of Congress.

Keep Fighting for a Conservative Speaker of the House!
It's official, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is running for Speaker of the House after announcing his intentions earlier this week. Jenny Beth wrote a column in Politico Magazine making the case that Rep. Ryan would just be more of the same after conservatives in Congress and grassroots activists forced John Boehner to retire. Jenny Beth lists the reasons to be wary of Rep. Ryan: his votes for the TARP bailout, the AIG bailout, the GM bailout and more recently, his support for amnesty for illegal immigrants. She concludes: "There’s no denying that what’s going on in the House GOP Conference is historic. A Speaker has been dethroned, and his second-in-command denied the coronation the Ruling Elite expected...The question for the GOP Old Guard is not whether or not the path ahead has changed—it has. The question is whether they’ll work with Freedom Caucus members and help decide a new direction of the country or continue to fight the change and let history leave them behind." You can read the full piece here.
We need to keep up the fight and conservatives need to hear from us.  Visit the site and call the conservatives listed and thank them for taking a stand against Boehner and McCarthy, but tell them the fight is not over yet. We need a Speaker who will stand up for conservatives, not punish those who have the guts to vote their conscience.
Tea Party Patriots Store
Grab yourself a piece of history too. Tea Party Patriots recently handed out T-shirts on Capitol Hill to spread the message that Kevin McCarthy is John Boehner’s clone and would not fight for conservative values. These limited edition t-shirts are almost gone from the Tea Party Patriots store and serve as a great keepsake from a huge win for the conservative movement. Don't miss your chance to get one!

Following John Boehner's resignation as Speaker of the House, calls for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to follow his lead are growing. We need your help to keep the pressure up! Add your name to the petition calling for Mitch McConnell to step down as the Majority Leader of the US Senate.
