National Tea Party Federation
The National Tea Party Federation (NTPF) was formed on April 8, 2010, by leaders of a broad coalition of national and regional Tea Party groups to help spread the movement's message and to respond to mainstream media misinformation about the Tea Party with a quick, unified response.[1][2] Its press release announcing its formation said, "The NTPF will act as a clearinghouse and to promote the Tea Party movement's objectives of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets."[2]
NTPF claimed in January 2011 to have 85 member and affiliate organizations representing over a million individuals. [3]
The Federation requires that member groups reject Birthers, 9/11 Truthers, racial discrimination, hate speech and acts of violence and subversive behavior.[4] It expelled the Tea Party Express when it refused to remove spokesman Mark Williams, who had made racial comments that he later admitted were objectionable.[5][6]
