In 1984, David H. Koch and Charles G. Koch of Koch Industries founded Citizens for a Sound Economy (CSE), a conservative political group whose self-described mission was "to fight for less government, lower taxes, and less regulation." Congressman Ron Paul was appointed as the first chairman of the organization. The CSE lobbied for policies favorable to corporations, particularly tobacco companies. - https://www.citizen.org/sites/default/files/citizens_for_a_sound_economy_report.pdf

Misinformation: Desire to repeal 14 Amendment
Towards the end of the fourth paragraph of the "Agenda" section, it states that "Several constitutional amendments have been targeted by some in the movement for full or partial repeal, including the 14th, 16th, and 17th." The article cited for this information makes no mention of wanting to repeal the 14th, only the 16th and 17th, in addition to adding a "Repeal Amendment." I see this as a potentially significant error in the section because it could make a serious implication that, without proper evidence, the Tea Party movement supports unequal rights and potentially racism. If they do in fact wish to repeal the 14th, there needs to be other information cited and have this topic expanded upon, explaining why they want it repealed, including potentially less than honorable tendencies if that is a valid and sensible claim according to provided trustworthy (i.e. unbiased and factual) information.

This is not to mention that such a movement to repeal that amendment would seem to contradict the spirit of the movement described in the rest of the article. Patriotic524 (talk) 06:03, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
Suggestion (grammatical)
Consider replacing the word over, in the last sentence of the first paragraph, with more than
- ...various polls in 2013 estimate that slightly over 10 percent of Americans identify as part of the movement.

Wouldn't this article also be part of a series of Libertarianism? MJV479 (talk) 21:12, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
- If history hadn't been rewritten it would. But the 2007 origin of the Tea Party movement has fallen down the memory hole. Jason Harvestdancer | Talk to me 12:54, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
