Tea Party Convention contributor from Brentwood sues movement's leader

[spanone]

Internal strife continues to rile the group that
hosted the National Tea Party Convention, headlined
by Sarah Palin, almost two months after the event
came to Nashville.

A lawsuit filed last week in Williamson County by
Brentwood-based conservative Bill Hemrick, the
founder of Upper Deck sports cards, accuses Tea
Party Nation leader Judson Phillips of backing out of
a partnership deal and spreading defamatory
comments about him.

The lawsuit, first reported by FoxNews.com,
stemmed from Hemrick's lending the group $25,000
to secure the former Alaska governor as a keynote
speaker at the convention, which took place at
Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in
February.

According to Hemrick's attorney, his client gave the
loan to establish a long-term relationship with
Phillips' Tea Party Nation.
