Fundraising
We are deeply appreciative of all of you who have continued to support Asheville Tea PAC.  The PAC legally enables us to support candidates who support our principles and who are not beholden to political parties or special interests.  In spite of the ‘rumors’, we are not nor were we ever supported by any other organization.  We are grassroots and we SOLELY depend upon great folks like YOU. It is unfortunate that many do not understand the difference between true grassroots tea party organizations and national organizations, well funded and supported by political entitles.  That’s not us!

We would like to add more ads to the ones we’ve already contracted.  The ads are not cheap, especially the WWNC ads.  We MUST get these candidates over the finish line in November. These candidates are not getting any financial support from their political party.  Does that tell you something?  We are it.  If we have 150 of the 1129 who belong to ATPAC to donate $12, we will have $1500 to run 20 more ads on WWNC at $75 each.    If you live in Transylvania/Brevard/Henderson and would like to contribute to additional ads, your address indicates which stations we will run those ads. If you donate on line, please add $1.50 to cover every $10 donation to cover fees at the donation site www.ashevilleteapac.org.)  Or send checks to ATPAC c/o J. Bilello. 218 Vincent Place, Hendersonville, NC 28739 minus the fees).  You can also indicate the candidate to run the ad for or just ‘Radio Ads.’   Thanks.
