The one TParty organization who did endorse Tom Graves is the Atlanta group. No one mentions it, but Atlanta is not even IN the 9th Congressional District.
It's also interesting that the article didn't mention the endorsement of Steve Tarvin by the Tea Party of Georgia, also.

Hammond seeking accreditation for sheriff’s department
Regarding BillyDuke's comment about it costing "big bucks" for the Sheriff's Department to become accredited:
One of the benefits of accreditation is that the community gets back more than it "costs". The concept is known as being "cost-effective".
It's a Republican kind of an idea.
