We received a formal communication from the Evergreen Tea Party today that there was an error made on the flyer that was initially distributed, and were requested to correct the mistake. Please see the email below.


Thank you for video taping the Education Forum on 10 Nov. We look forward to seeing it.

As I am sure you are aware, an error on the original flyer advertising the meeting got past our proofing and was published by mistake.

We were made aware of the error regarding co-sponsors of the event the morning of Nov 10. One was listed by mistake which has no connection to Evergreen Tea Party or any of the co-sponsors or invited speakers. The abbreviation for one of the sponsors (AFA - Americans For Prosperity) is the same as another group we do not support. Unfortunately, when the original flyer was designed, the error was not caught.

When I sent you the flyer along with the request to video, the error had not yet been discovered so the flyer you have is one which was delivered to me and had the wrong name listed on it. I forgot that I had sent you the flyer and, therefore, did not send you the correction which has been sent to all media and other persons who received the incorrect flyer by mistake.

You will note that the correct flyer attached to this email lists 'Americans For Prosperity' but not 'American Freedom Party'. Both names share the 'AFP' initials.

Let me emphasize to you that ETP has nothing to do with the American Freedom Party. To our knowledge, the speakers and the other co-sponsors have nothing to do with American Freedom Party and do not communicate with them.

You will recall from your attendance at the event that there were no posters for them, no announcement of them and the flyers distributed on the seats listed only 'Americans For Prosperity' among other co-sponsors.

Feel free to share this information with anyone else you know who may be concerned about our affiliations. Again, please accept my apologies for not getting this to you sooner.

The remainder of this email consists of the correction and explanatory email which has been sent to all other involved parties. The corrected flyer was initially sent out the morning of Nov 10. Subsequently, it was resent with the expanded explanation. Please read through to the end of the email. Thanks.

Thank you for your time.

Evergreen Tea Party


Ladies and Gentlemen,

What follows is an acknowledgement and explanation of the typo found in a previous flyer advertising the Education forum on November 10. Corrected flyers had previously been sent out prior to the meeting, however, it was decided to follow up on the corrected flyer with this explanation of events.

Attached is a copy of the corrected flyer previously sent out.

This email is being sent to all co-sponsors and media.

Thank you for your understanding.
ETP Administration

Dear Media or Institutional Entities,

Please accept the following explanation of the typo in our second notice for the November 10 Education Night event:

We had three notices go out for the November 10 Education Night event. The first E-mail notice did not have any reference to any co-sponsor. The first notice did say we had 13 co-sponsors.

When the second E-mail notice of the meeting went out listing 14 co-sponsors for the event, a typo was made and instead of listing Americans for Prosperity (AFP) as a co-sponsor, it listed the American Freedom Party (AFP) as a co-sponsor.

When the typo was found, we immediately sent out a third E-mail notice of the event (with the note below) to all those who received the second E-mail notice, including the media, with the explanation for the typo. This third E-mail notice correctly identified the co-sponsor as Americans for Prosperity and not American Freedom Party.

Dear Media entity,

Please note that we have made one typo correction to the November 10 meeting Notice Flyer. That is, where the Flyer says American Freedom Party it is now corrected to say Americans For Prosperity. Americans for Prosperity is a Sponsor for this event. The American Freedom Party is not a Sponsor for this event. Americans for Prosperity has no relationship with the American Freedom Party. It is important that you resend the corrected flyer to all who you have sent the previous Flyer with the aforementioned typo.

We apologize for this typographical error and thank you for your assistance.

Regards,

Ed Sutton, President

Individual 4 foot by 3 foot banners were made for each co-sponsor, including Americans for Prosperity, with their name on the banner and all 14 of these banners were posted on the walls of the meeting hall. The final or third E-mail notice of the meeting, which included the names of the 14 co-sponsors including Americans for Prosperity, was printed out and made available for those who attended the meeting.. From the podium and at the beginning of the meeting, I personally identified all fourteen co-sponsors and their representatives present, including Americans for Prosperity.

To my knowledge, neither Evergreen Tea Party nor any other co-sponsor has a relationship with the American Freedom Party. Evergreen Tea Party and some of the co-sponsors have worked with Americans for Prosperity.

This E-mail, including the aforementioned information, is posted on the Evergreen Tea Party web-site, www.evergreenteaparty.com .
