| Description | Thomas Knapp of the popular Kn@ppster blog is apparently fed up with the Libertarian Party in the wake of last weekend’s convention. In response, he’s begun laying the groundwork for a new political entity that he calls the Boston Tea Party.

The press release…
“Cyberia” (PRWEB) July 5, 2006 – Citing the Libertarian Party’s “abdication of its political responsibilities to the American people,” activists have founded the Boston Tea Party (www.bostontea.us) as an alternative, Internet-based vehicle for libertarian political action.
“For various reasons, the ball got dropped in Portland,” says Boston Tea Party founder Thomas L. Knapp, referring to the Libertarian national convention, held over the July 4th weekend in Oregon. “Factional disputes led to a wholesale gutting of the party’s platform—a muddle in which the party was left without a mechanism for expressing its positions on several of the foremost public policy issues facing America’s voters.” |
