Sarah Jessica Parker Campaigns for President, Gay Marriage

Hoping to reach a young demographic, Team Re-Elect President Barack Obama introduced its first national television spot last night during the MTV Movie Awards . The commercial features Sarah Jessica Parker, who “says you should be able to marry anyone you want” as part of the reason why she’s voting for Obama, while also touting how he’s “created four million jobs.” The actress adds: “As a woman, a mother, and an entrepreneur, I need to believe our country can be a place where everyone has a fair shot at success. This November’s election will determine whether we get to keep moving forward, or if we’re forced to go back to policies that ask people like my middle-class family in Ohio to carry the burden – while people like me, who don’t need tax breaks, get extra help.” Sarah Jessica Parker Campaigns for Obama Who will you vote for this fall?

Tea party group announces anonymous $1 million donation

An anonymous donor has directed $1 million to the Tea Party Patriots to be used on this year's elections, the organization announced Tuesday, according to a report by Slate's David Weigel. “If you have a lawn, you water it, you tend to it, you weed it. That's what's happening here. And it is unique. I can't think of anything quite like it happening before,” former Republican Rep. Ernie Istook, a new adviser to the Patriots, said during Tuesday morning's news conference announcing the gift. The organization's 2,800 local tea party groups will be eligible to apply for the grant money, organization founders Mark Meckler and Jenny Beth Martin announced at the news conference. The Tea Party Express has emerged as the most prolific tea party fundraising outfit, after backing the successful primary campaigns of Christine O'Donnell in Delaware and Joe Miller in Alaska. The Tea Party Patriots, which was among the first national organizations to harness the grass roots of the tea-party movement, reiterated Tuesday that it does not intend to offer explicit endorsements of candidates. http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_upshot/20100921/el_yblog_upshot/tea-party-group-an… added by: Incredulous
