The Virginia Tea Party Patriots Federation met Saturday for their quarterly summit in Richmond, VA. The day was filled with some interesting speakers, especially members relaying how they were successful in such endeavors as defeating light rail, stopping a tax-payer funded baseball stadium, and engineering a “No” vote on a meals tax referendum.
In order to get a sense of the attendee’s support of the top-of-the-ticket candidates, a straw poll was conducted and the results are interesting. Note that this is a snap shot and the poll was informal and unscientific and the results do not constitute an endorsement of any candidate by the state-wide tea party federation.
