I believe that the NAACP is making a grave mistake in stereotyping a diverse group of Americans who care deeply about their country and who contribute their time, energy and resources to make a difference.&rdquo;  <\/p><p>&ldquo;As I campaign in South Carolina, I participate in numerous events sponsored by the Tea Party, 9\/12, Patriot, and other like-minded groups, and I have had the opportunity to get to know many of the men and women who make up these energetic grassroots organizations. Americans need to know that the Tea Party is a color-blind movement that has principled differences with many of the leaders in Washington, both Democrats and Republicans. Their aim is to support the strongest candidates &ndash; regardless of color or background &ndash; who will fight to return our country to its Constitutional roots of limited government, fiscal responsibility, and free markets.&rdquo; <\/p><p>Note - Tim Scott is virtually Congressman-elect for South Carolina's 1st District.
