The Boston Tea IIRC is a splinter of the LIBERTARIAN Party.

Interesting. I'd have thought the Libertarian Party is too small to splinter. I did like the splinter party's name, though!

Here is the info on it:

BOSTON TEA PARTY - The BTP was a splinter group that broke from the Libertarian Party in 2006, when the BTP founders believed the LP was straying from its libertarian roots. The BTP platform consists of simple, one-sentence statement of principles: "The Boston Tea Party supports reducing the size, scope and power of government at all levels and on all issues, and opposes increasing the size, scope and power of government at any level, for any purpose." In 2008 the BTP fielded its own Presidential ticket for the first time and obtained ballot access for the ticket in a few states. In terms of specifics, the BTP supports an immediate US withdrawal from Iraq, repeal of the PATRIOT Act, federal income tax cuts, and the legalization of marijuana. As of 2008, the BTP had affiliate parties in a small number of states.
