Texas Tea Party Groups Unite for West

Immediately following news of the devastating explosion of a fertilizer plant in the rural Texas town of West, the nearby Waco Tea Party began organizing efforts to help those affected.

The group's president, Toby Walker, called a local hotel and secured a room for the wives and families of first responders. Wives and mothers began to receive updates from the front lines as they charted a course of action for the following day.

Local distribution centers were identified and the conservative networks were activated to volunteer and help operate the collecting, sorting, and distribution of needed items. Breitbart News' own Brandon Darby was asked to go and help with the efforts.

Darby had extensive experience with relief efforts in post-Katrina New Orleans and now runs Citizen Patriot Response, a group that mobilizes Tea Party and other liberty-minded groups to help communities in need. Darby began sorting through the fog of disaster and reporting the facts to the public-at-large shorty after last night's tragic accident.

The Tea party doesn't wait on the government for help. I'm really proud of these true Americans that are ready to take matters into their hands. God bless my Texan family. Proud to be a Texan. Can't be there to help but you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
