Behind NYTimes-featured Tea Party mom, the vice chair for a Scaife-funded front group

(scoop, I think)

In mid-January a New York Times story, In Power Push, Movement Sees Base in G.O.P. , reported on the Tea Party Patriots' game plan to take over the Republican party from beneath. The story quoted a Tea Party activist new to the political scene, stay-at-home mom Anastasia Przybylski:

"...in a perennial battleground district outside Philadelphia, Tea Party activists are trying to strip the local committee of its influence in choosing the Republican nominee...
“We kind of changed the rules,” said Anastasia Przybylski, one of the organizers... who describes herself as “just a stay-at-home mom” who became agitated about the federal stimulus package."

Przybylski's partner in these Tea Party efforts has been good friend (and fellow local mother) Mariann Davies. According to PhillyBurbs.com's Gary Weckselblatt,

"a Doylestown mother of three young children...Przybylski and good friend Mariann Davies began the Kitchen Table Patriots, a conservative group concerned with America's ballooning national debt. They organized the Washington Crossing [Bucks County PA] Tea Party, and to show how new to the game they were, they began by calling it a "pork roast and tea party," said Przybylski, who developed the group's Web site, thekitchentablepatriots.com, though she could "barely cut and paste before I started."

"...to show how new to the game they were..."

OK, how new to the game were they?

Googling reveals that Przybylski's friend and co-organizer Mariann Davies, an attorney, is vice chair of the anti-illegal-immigrant front group "You Don't Speak for Me!", one of three such groups ("Choose Black America" and "Coalition for the Future American Worker" being the other two) set up by the largely Scaife-funded group Federation for American Immigration Reform.

And, though less surprisingly, the website of the Tea Party group Davies and Przybylski founded, the Kitchen Table Patriots, currently promotes a "Citizen Lobby Training" conducted by the (also-Scaife-funded) conservative advocacy group FreedomWorks.

What is it about moms, anyway? What does Frank Luntz say about moms?
