During the 2010 convention the Party adopted a new program to End the Wars of Aggression, End the Fed, End the War on Drugs, End the Abuses of Liberty, End the Immigration Fiasco.
“I am excited that, even though the BTP isn’t running any of its own candidates this year, we have endorsed over 80 candidates all of whom are committed to reducing the size, scope and power of government at all levels,” said Darryl W. Perry Chair of the National Committee.

@Travis, the North Carolina affiliate would be the one to ask that question to.
@Erik, Mr. Nolan was not “snubbed” – a former At-Large Rep to the National Committee contacted Mr. Nolan about a possible endorsement, he did not agree 100% with the BTP platform to reduce “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” and therefore ineligible for the BTP to endorse.
I can’t help but notice that David Nolan got snubbed in Arizona. Is there any particular reason for that?
The Boston Tea Party endorsed Republican B.J. Lawson in his 2008 run for congress. He is the GOP nominee for NC-04 again. Will the BTP endorse him this time around?
Nick Coons has polled at 6% in his campaign against Democrat Mitchell and Republican Schweikert for AZ CD 5.
