During a press conference to unveil some 160,000 individual petitions asking Congress not to raise taxes on any Americans, organizers were asked if House Speaker John Boehner was invited to attend.
“Speaker Boehner was invited. Other members of leadership were invited,” said Dustin Stockton, chief strategist with TheTeaParty.net, the group that organized the petition drive. “We would have loved to have them there. Our team did meet privately with them while we were in town.”
“But then he didn’t want to attend this?” CNSNews.com asked.
“No,” Stockton said.
The press conference was attended by several members of Congress who are supported by the Tea Party, including Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Reps. Paul Broun (R-Ga.), Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and John Fleming (R-La.) – all of whom said they would stick by their pledge not raise taxes.
