Silvia Bokor was a tireless patriot who worked with all conservative organizations to expose those who would take away our freedoms. She relentlessly searched for the truth and if someone or some group in power was misbehaving, she didn't hold back. Her blog had subscribers all across the country. She helped the TEA Party from the beginning, lending us her knowledge of marketing and her tireless energy. She was instrumental in developing marketing materials that made the annual Constitution Day Dinner a yearly success.
Silvia is the third conservative woman we have lost this year. Marge Tapia, Maryanne Chiffele, and now Silvia will leave a hole in Albuquerque's efforts to bring freedom for all in our state and our city. These three women are models of decency, passion and dedication to conservatism and liberty for all. They will all be missed.

Join us Tuesday for an insightful discussion about the behind the scenes manipulation of
numerous non-profit organizations to control the U.S. political system.

The discussion will be lead by Mr. Frank Dean, Chairman of Ward 28 and Frank Ruvolo, Chair Emeritus BCRP. Both of these gentlemen are well acquainted with the Blueprint concept and the state of the state and the landscape changes needed to implement the concept.

The discussion will describe the evolving complex web of nonprofit organizations and affiliates that the
Democrats, in partnership with a few extremely wealthy ultra-liberals, used to circumvent the
McCain campaign finance laws and gain control of the legislatures of many states. With a
modest amount of effort, generous donations, and by targeting specific races they have been
able to flip many state legislatures to the liberal Democrats.
​
This will be a real eye-opener about how the Democrats coordinate the actions of numerous
allegedly non-political organizations to spread well-crafted and coordinated negative
messages to destroy Republican candidates. Their goal is to destroy promising young
Republican candidates very early in their career.

Join us Tuesday for an insightful discussion with three prominent members of the criminal justice system who will discuss the issues on illegal immigration, gangs and drugs; and the legal and court system.

These three experts are: Michael Hendriks – Candidate for Attorney General, Bob Godshall – Retired ICE Agent and Joe Abbin – High Ranking Member of APD.

Some of the things to be discussed:

• Do you wonder why, in spite of the fact that everyone talks about it, "it" doesn’t seem to get better?
• There is more than one elephant in the room that people claim is not there. We'll look at all.
• The various parts of our criminal justice system don't work together. How to change this.

After six long years and endless appeals, the IRS has finally granted the Albuquerque Tea Party (ATP) its long-overdue status as a nonprofit 401c(4) organization!  ATP President Graham Bartlett states, "The decision by the IRS is a win for free speech for all parties."

ATP is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to educating the public on the importance of the core principles of constitutionally limited government and the free enterprise system. 

​As an example of ATP activities, on July 18 we are hosting a Mayoral Candidates' Forum at the UNM Continuing Education Building, 1634 University Blvd. NE, in which all eight of the mayoral candidates have promised to attend.  The event will be moderated by the League of Women Voters.  Refreshments will be provided at a "Meet and Greet" starting at 6:30 PM, with the Forum beginning at 7:00 PM. 

ATP hosted a similar event, also moderated by the League of Women Voters, for Albuquerque Public School Board candidates back in January of this year. 

These events illustrate just how unjustified the long delay in granting ATP's nonprofit status really was.  We hope the IRS will continue what appears to be its new and more balanced approach to evaluating applications for nonprofit status by conservative organizations interested in public affairs.

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) represented the ATP pro bono before the IRS.
