Keith Olbermann’s “Worst Person” -- Chicago Tea Patriots Organizer Catherina Wojtowicz

No More Tea for Me, Thank You

Over the past week I have been cyber-stalked by Catherina Wojtowicz, leader of the Chicago Tea Party Patriots. Apparently Catherina Wojtowicz is unhappy with my reporting on the Chicago Tea Party’s 912 march, as well as the march that occurred in Washington DC. As I have recently reported, Catherina Wojtowicz expelled me from the Chicago Tea for my accurate reporting of the Chicago march. Her efforts to fudge the numbers do not serve the movement well.

Since this last report, I have conducted my own research in an attempt to come as close as possible to the actual numbers that were in attendance at the DC march. Part of my investigation included comparing the Metrorail ridership numbers for the 912 march to other large DC gatherings; and, it became quite obvious that the numbers that are being reported still to this day by some, just cannot be close to accurate.

Then yesterday, I posted this report from the American Free Press that in fact confirms the numbers that I had speculated to be closer to accurate during my own research. Apparently, this set off Catherina Wojtowicz once again.

Later yesterday evening I discovered that Catherina Wojtowicz had returned once again in yet another attempt to slander my name and character by making false statements about me on several Facbook walls that belong to other people.  This is a persistent pattern that includes a slanderous email sent to Illinois Tea Central, filled with outright lies as well as other attacks.

My message has been, and will continue to be, that if the Tea movement allows the extremists to drive the Tea bus, it will implode.  This why I have publicly endorsed Jason Williscroft , who initially appears to me, to be better suited to be the head of the Chicago Tea Party Patriots. (Due to lack of time, Jason is unable to fill the position.)

The following is a thread from a Facebook wall that illustrates the extremism that I’m talking about. In this thread Catherina Wojtowicz sends me her address and invites me to come to her home so she can “blow my head off.”

Because of what I have witnessed at the Tea events which I have attended, combined with this recent cyber-stalking, I’ve had just about enough tea to fill my gut. If these are the types of people leading the movement, have at it. Personally, I would not follow Catherina Wojtowicz’s directions to the nearest restroom, let alone follow her in a political movement. I’ll watch from here.

This thread is unedited (other than removing her address ) and is in its entirety. You decide.

Owner of the Facebook wall thread:

“Seriously considering a move to the great state of Texas.”

Me:

I’m thinking of going to Dallas for the winter. Fantastic city and lots of freedom! Cook county will tax a man to death…

Catherina Wojtowicz

Chuck,You don’t work.What is your concern about taxes?

Me:

Catherina, what is your problem? If you continue to slander, I will take proper action. Now you bring this to other peoples walls? You send slanderous emails to Tea central?

I own two businesses and work 10 to 12 hours a day. What I told Jason in the email was that I try to do roofing work only one day a week so that I can develop my web business, run my 6 blogs, and spend my time and money doing mission work with the homeless down town.

I tried to help you, but when I reported that 500 people came to your tea, and why, you went off. Everything that I have reported about you is backed by facts, your own words and actions. You have clearly shown that you are not fit to be a leader in the Tea movement. You have repeatedly said nasty things to, and about me that you make up out of thin air.

The email that you sent to Tea central is nasty, and filled with absolute nonsense. I have refrained from sending the audio interview we did into Daily Kos because it would do damage to the Tea. I could not publish the interview because the editing work required to take out all the foul language, and nasty things you say about the people that come to your Tea meetings is too daunting of a task. I knew after the interview something was not right.

You need to back off. This is not a game you want to play with me. Go your own way, and I’ll go mine. And stay off other people’s walls with your childish nonsense. And Thom, my apologies. I’ve been trying to shake her for a week but she pops up constantly.

Thom, He is NOT a friend.
Catherina Wojtowicz,
Chicago Tea
And FYI, you friended him OFF my FB page.You are an opportunist, trying to do WHATEVER off a people’s movement.You are unwanted w/in MY group.

Go. Somewhere. Else.
Chicago AINT in the market.

As for bringing action against ME, BRING IT ON, Cowboy!

Double dog dare you.

Me:

Now, I just corrected you on your first false statement. And, it is an outright lie: I do, in fact work. Some of my tax money goes to help pay YOUR unemployment! Because in fact, it is you who is unemployed!.
And this is the pattern that we seem to be stuck in. In an attempt to cover up the TRUTH that I expose about you, you counter with lies. Time, and time again.

“trying to do WHATEVER off a people’s movement”

Could you clarify that please? What is it I’m trying to do in your mind? Why do you invest so much time following me around cyber space in such a strange attempt at assassinating my character? I’m new at being cyber-stalked, so please enlighten me.

I’ll tell you exactly what my overall message has been lately, as my blog CLEARLY shows: IF WE ALLOW THE NUT-BALLS TO CONTROL THE TEA MOVEMENT IT WILL IMPLODE!
And, as you are demonstrating once again, you qualify as strange. Everyone is free to read any of my blogs that I have had long before Obama, the Tea movement, and Cat.

My advice to Chicago Tea is to find new leadership, for the sake of Chicago Tea, not for any personal dispute I have with Cat. This is where you and I differ Cat. My blogs DO NOT depend on the Tea movement in any way.

In fact, I offered to build, and host a website for you AT NO CHARGE! I’ve been around much longer than the tea movement. You on the other hand, need the Tea. I told my wife when I returned from our interview that I thought you might be a little off. I’m a good judge of character. That’s why I am the StreetWisePundit. I can smell trouble a mile away.

Catherina Wojtowicz

Please, bring on. Here is my address:
(Removed by me)
You come to my door,

I will blow your head off.

I promise you that.

You are a nut.

Your emails are enough to get an order of protection.

Me:

Cat, that is way over the top. I was talking legal action, not personal violence. I will no longer respond to your comments. This is very disrespectful to Thom. And again, I have copied and pasted everything you just said. Wow.
There is nothing in any email from me that is personally physically threatening in any way shape or form. Wow!

Catherina Wojtowicz

OMG!
You nor any money grabber will EVER get their hands on a web site!And your stupid emails witbJason are noise.

You sent an email to Illinois Tea asking them to contact you.
THEY. DIDN’T.

Why?

Cause you are a whack!

You nor anyone “pays” for me, dickhead.

I am not on unemployment nor is it any of your business my finances.

You have friended people OFF my facebook, in order to build your blog and an attempt to take my web site.

You are a whack job.

If you are soooo concerned, bring your own people together and start your group.

You don’t because you are a loser.

Man up.

We. Don’t. Need Nor. Want. You.

Thank you,

I am speaking on behalf of National Tea Party Patriots.

Go the fuck away.

You are a headcase.

As I said, bring the legal action on, you clown ass.

Now shut the fuck up.

Catherina Wojtowicz

PLEASE, bring me to court.Totally hate dogs with loud barks yet no bite.And why not cause a mutiny with whoever at my next meeting?

You and whoever might think they could be better can come and take it over.

I will give it to you and whoever.

In fact, I will put it out there.

Let it go!

How does that service you and whoever?

As I said, I now have limited time because I’m back in the markets.

I need to know about a vote soon because I’m sending my next email notice about our meeting tomorrow afternoon.

Catherina Wojtowicz

D-O-R-K.Publish that while you wipe your ass. Please come to our next meeting.

As always, I will send out an open invite and hold two meetings — one north and one south — come to both or one.

Othersise, shut the fuck up.
And tell the same to your sidekick.

This is the general tone of her emails as well as the comments she posts on other people’s walls. Keep in mind she does this on a public networking site. What Chicago Tea should do is set up as many interviews with TV and radio stations as possible and put her mouth front and center. Sure, that’s a great idea!

This entire issue stems from my efforts to report as honestly and accurately as possible, the numbers in attendance at the recent Chicago and DC Tea Party marches, as well as the tone I have encountered at Tea Party events that I have attended personally.  Catherina has apparently taken offense to my observations and constructive criticism.  Her over the top reaction is shocking and disappointing, especially because I wanted to help the Tea Party in their efforts.  Unfortunately this tea was much more bitter than I expected.  No more tea for me, thank you.
