Fixing Dead links/Some Citation-needed
Citation Needed:
References to the Boston Tea Party were part of Tax Day protests held in the 1990s and before. 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the 14th, there needs to be other information cited and have this topic expanded upon, explaining why they want it repealed, including potentially less than honorable tendencies if that is a valid and sensible claim according to provided trustworthy (i.e. unbiased and factual)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.

This whole page is MOSTLY WRONG because the modern-day tea party movement started in 2007 not 2009 and was not and is STILL not part of the GOP.
I know because I helped found it in 2007 and still run it in NH. It was created by Ron Paul supporters, and he was the 'father' of the movement. It was non-partisan and intended to talk about issues that were being ignored for the upcoming 2008 presidential election. We had already held our first event in Boston on Dec 16, 2007 after I organized a 400 person event in Pembroke NH that February with Kent Snyder featuring Ron himself who then decided to run. People tossed boxes of tea in the water all over the US, including Dr. Paul in Lake Jackson Texas on Dec 16. Pete Santilli saw us do this, he knew about the movement, as he was a confidant of Ron's. Later when he was ranting about something of a financial nature, he declared that even HE might stage a tea party at Lake Michigan... knowing we'd already been doing it for TWO YEARS.
Another protest happened on July 12, 2008 when 10,000 Ron Paul supporters descended upon DC at the West Side of Capitol Hill for a “Revolution March”. That was our big showing that year. In 2009 I myself organized a 4,000 person tea party on the green in Manchester NH.
Here is the full background.

All the groups you mention (Patriots, Express, and others) were formed in 2009, they stole the name, and were merely PACs for the GOP Inc. When they arrived in NH in 2012 insisting they endorsed Romney we wrote to the papers explaining they were NOT the real teaparty and that we in NO WAY endorsed Romney or any other candidate just as we never endorsed TRUMP.
In December 2019 the authentic, NON-GOP teaparty had its 12th anniversary.

Please get the history correct, especially the part where we are NOT connected to the GOP. Please remember that — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.237.223.247 (talk) 15:48, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

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)
