Local tea party groups form state coalition

Tea party coordinators from throughout the state have announced a new umbrella organization called the Minnesota North Star Tea Party Patriots (MNSTPP).

The coalition is affiliated with the national Tea Party Patriots organization. According to a news release, the goal of MNSTPP is to unite dozens of groups around Minnesota to promote fiscal responsibility, free markets, and Constitutionally limited government.

"We're not here to tell local groups what to do," said board member Randy Liebo. "The point is to keep communication open and coordinate efforts when possible."
