We, the undersigned, protest the news media's shameful efforts to try and smear the Tea Party movement and conservative leaders by suggesting that the Arizona shooting was somehow the fault of the Tea Party movement.

This young man is responsible for his own actions, which represent in NO WAY the values and principles of the Tea Party movement.

We in the Tea Party movement deserve to be treated more fairly than this by the news media and they owe all of us an apology for their shameful conduct during this American tragedy.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this attack and their families.

The exhaustion of fighting this narrative is heavy but the consistent accusations against our movement make it impossible to walk away. I am still reading your messages and they confirm exactly why we must keep pushing for an honest accounting of these events.

The media continues to ignore the truth while we work to set the record straight. We are nearing a hundred names and I need you to push this further so they cannot pretend we are not watching.

The main stream media is out of control with these lies. They need to stop pushing their own agenda and just report the facts for once.

The way the news treated this is just wrong. They owe everyone an apology for the division they caused.

It is absolutely disgusting how they try to blame normal law abiding people for one sick individual's actions. Shameful reporting.
