From the story:
Joan Snyder Holmes has been dead for nearly four years. But during the past two years, she's managed to make thousands of dollars in donations to one of the country's premier Tea Party organizations.
Those donations, uncovered by the Center for Responsive Politics in a report released Friday, gives an alternate, more cryptic meaning to the term grassroots.
According to the money-in-politics investigative organization, Tea Party Express' PAC reported receiving three donations from Holmes in autumn 2009 for a total of $2,500. An additional lump-sum donation of $5,000 was made in September of that year.
Had Holmes not died of cancer on Feb. 1, 2007 -- she was cremated, and her ashes are at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia -- this would have all be relatively unremarkable. As it is, neither her husband nor the Tea Party express could conjure up any explanation for the money.
