Mea Culpa – when we’re wrong, we apologize and do it up front and not on some page XX at the bottom of the page in 1pt font like some media outlets (if they even bother to do so with even a non-apology apology. I sent the following to Terese Grinell who is the host of the event that I was told was Marilyn Todd’s event.
I received bad intel about who was hosting this event thus I wrote what I wrote. I got a couple of calls for corrections so I immediately pulled my post down, have asked Steve to pull it from our social media, and put your ad back up.
I’ll be writing a “mea culpa” post just as soon as my phone stops blowing up. I dunno why today of any day they’re all coming in but it is what it is and I’ll get that post up certainly in time for our Daily Grok eblast to go up.
To you, my most heartfelt apology. I wrote the post, put it up, and it doesn’t matter the intel source – I take responsibility.
I’m not going to blither about I can only report what is sent to me. I believed it and I posted it – not the source.
SO, go to the event if you can. Or want. Terese sent the following:
Rally is on Rain or Shine we have a solution to keep everyone dry should it be raining so do not let that stop you!
We have 5 VERY dynamic speakers, including General Bolduc. 5 objectives of how we will stand for Freedom in NH and 5 tangible action items for everyone to run with!!
Tomorrow is all about getting fired up with hope for the New Year. We expect everyone to be encouraged and strengthened as we come together. All the liberty groups are supporting and will have representation at the event.
The 5 Objectives:
1. How will we Unify and Assemble
2. How will we Educate
3. How will we Hold the Line
4. How will we Get Loud
5. How will we Create Independence

I apologize to her supporters who may truly believe in the mission but are being led astray by someone, IMHO, who craves the spotlight more than getting anything substantial done.
In fact, I’ll ask the question, what are her concrete actions been thus far other than ticking off a whole lot of people that really could have been her allies in this. You know, like my friend Anne Copp along with Kristen and Cynthia who just ungraciously DUMPED in Chicago on the return trip from Mike Lindell’s event (forcing them to purchase tickets to fly home).
Unexcusable. But she’s rolling on like some snake oil salesman looking for her next marks:
So, I ask, are you going to drag yourself out of bed after partying all night (Happy New Year!) and drive miles to only stand there in rather bad weather: 38 degrees and rain?
Certainly not me and I’d advise others to clear away as well. Just my opinion. After all, one of the “concrete actions” that she should have accomplished by now is a complete accounting of all of the expenditures that were meant to fund having Jovan Pultizer flown in, put up, and have him “audit the audit”. Tens of thousands of dollars were raised and he was a no-show. So where is the money? Where did it go? Was it spent on purposes other than what the donors to this Charity were told?
From an explanation from the NH Attorney General’s office on what is illegal on the part of a Charity:
However, if there is fraud or criminal activity involved with the fundraising or the handling of the money raised for an individual, the Attorney General’s office may become involved. It is never acceptable to raise money for one purpose, for example, paying for a child’s cancer treatment, and then to spend the money for something else, like buying airplane tickets for a vacation. And it is never acceptable to raise money for an individual and then claim that the donation is tax deductible.
And this:
Also, make sure your appeal includes a statement regarding the distribution of any surplus money raised after the primary purpose has been satisfied.
Hey, Marilyn Todd / Voter Integrity Group – did Marilyn actually DO that – tell you what would happen if those funds actually accomplish its mission (it didn’t)? I’ve not had anyone tell me that was done. Did any of you receive a refund of your donations?
Here’s the whole Advisory:
ctu-guidelinesAsk her about the official paperwork that had to be filed for this – ask to see it. I’m not suggesting that she hasn’t but given what I’ve been told by sources, was the money expended for the purpose she told folks? That is a no, so Reagan’s “Trust but Verify” should be in play here.
And I still have to put up stories that people sent me a long time ago – and for which I failed to do so then. Apologies so I’m going to restart that process now.
Here is Kristen Jackson’s story of being unceremoniously dumped by Marilyn Todd:
