Apparently, not all Tea Party groups are considered equal.
Jane Aitken of the New Hampshire Tea Party Coalition said she has heard from residents reporting "Tea Party" groups backing candidates in the Granite State.
"It has come to our attention that a group from outside New Hampshire calling itself 'Tea Party Patriots' has been conducting a door-to-door campaign endorsing candidates in New Hampshire," said Aitken in a statement issued Friday. "Residents should be advised that 'Tea Party Patriots' is not a legitimate Tea Party but a GOP PAC established in 2009 using the name of the movement popularized in 2007. 'Tea Party Patriots' was started by GOP fundraiser gurus and consultants, and its leaders have managed to extract thousands of dollars from unsuspecting conservatives who have no idea that most of the money they send them goes for office overhead and the salaries of the GOP operatives who run the group."
Aitken said an article posted last week in The Hill, a D.C. online news outlet, claimed New Hampshire Tea Party members had "fallen in line" and were endorsing candidates, was wrong.
"Groups such as 'Tea Party Patriots,' 'Tea Party Express' and others, do not have any organization in New Hampshire," said Aitken. "Tea Party members understood when they joined the NHTPC that it is not part of the GOP or any other political party. Residents who found a door card proclaiming that the 'Tea Party' endorses a particular candidate should be wary of these well-funded operatives who come from outside New Hampshire. The legitimate Tea Party is a movement with a mission that focuses on issues and will never run, fund or endorse candidates."
Aitken said the New Hampshire Tea Party movement has "over a thousand supporters," and last week's court ruling won't deter the group."We will continue to attempt to educate and inform those who will listen," Aitken said.

NH Tea Party Coalition Not all Tea Party groups legitimate
The founder of the state's Tea Party Coalition says the Internal Revenue Service should be "shut down" after a judge acknowledged in an opinion that agents targeted conservative groups based on their political beliefs.
"It's political warfare for people to use their political power to go after others because of their points of view," said Jane Aitken of the New Hampshire Tea Party Coalition. "I think it's criminal, and they should be shut down for it. It's something out of a police state or communist China or Cuba. Not America."
Judge Reggie Walton of the U.S. District Court in Washington shot down a Tea Party group's effort to permanently prohibit the IRS from targeting conservative groups for special scrutiny, issuing a ruling Thursday that says the tax agency has taken enough steps to correct the problem.
Judge Walton also refused a request by True the Vote, a Texas-based group that tries to combat election fraud, to make Lois G. Lerner and other current and former IRS employees pay a penalty for having blocked the conservative group's tax-exempt status and making intrusive inquiries into the group's activities.
Suits no longer necessary
Because the IRS changed how it considered Tea Party applications for tax-exempt status and approved most of the groups involved in the lawsuit, Walton ruled the conservative organizations no longer had a reason to sue.
Without ruling on whether the initial targeting was unlawful, the judge said the case was moot because the IRS eventually did approve tax-exempt status.
True the Vote argued that the IRS was pressured into stopping the targeting, but could restart it at any time. The group asked the court to issue an order prohibiting the IRS from targeting, but the judge declined.
"The defendants' grant of tax-exempt status to the plaintiff, and the defendants' suspension of the alleged IRS targeting scheme during the tax-exempt application process, including remedial steps to address the alleged conduct, coupled with the reduced 'concern about the recurrence of objectionable behavior' government actors ... convinces the court that the 'voluntary cessation' exception is not applicable here," wrote Judge Walton in a decision posted online. "The allegedly unconstitutional governmental conduct, which had delayed the processing of the plaintiffs' tax-exempt applications and spawned this litigation, is no longer impacting the plaintiffs."
Long process

Tea Party groups 'stunned' by court's decision on IRS
Though the news media and partisan critics continue to declare that the tea party is dead and irrelevant, a major pollster appears to disagree.
Although the tea party has not been as visible in this years midterm elections as it was in 2010, tea party Republicans have given more thought to this years elections and are much more motivated to vote than are non-tea party Republicans or other Americans. About one in four Americans continue to say they support the tea party. Despite what appears to be a lower profile this year, the tea party wing of the Republican Party about 18 percent of all national adults remains a powerful force, reports Gallup Director Frank Newport.
And the numbers: 73 percent of tea partyers are extremely or very motivated to vote, compared to 57 percent of Republicans and 42 percent of non-Republicans. Another 54 percent of tea partyers say theyre thinking a great deal about the midterms, compared to 31 percent of other Republicans and 27 percent of non-Republicans.

As they were four years ago, tea party voters remain opposed to big government, taxes and heavy regulations. Their gravest concerns, the poll found, are now the threat of Islamic militants, the federal deficit, government inefficiency, the economy, taxes and immigration in that order. Tea party supporters stronger motivation to vote underscores the groups importance to the election outcome, Mr. Newport observes.
STAND BACK: OBAMA CAMPAIGNS IN SIX STATES
Democrats are leery of President Obamas dwindling approval ratings but are certainly eager for his fundraising. Mr. Obama who is masking annoyance and appears game will journey to a half-dozen states for the cause. So fire up Air Force One, and keep it idling.
