Boston also ties it to "US onlty". I undestand that is all many of you care about... but I'd like really to see a party that stood for what the LP was formed around, and while the US party would focus on the US would be "designed" to spread....

Washington Tea > Party? :) "Tea Party," without the "Boston" prefix, has previously been used. I think they mahve run candidates in Nevada, Utah and possibly Alabama some time back. I couldn't find much on them, but L. Neil Smith described them to me as (paraphrased, this was a long time ago) unpleasant cranks. We're pleasant cranks ;-) Really, the name is simply an artifact of me owning a domain name and thinking "Boston Tea Party" would be a cool name for SOMETHING ... and then the need/opportunity happening along.
