Membership Registration
Federation Member Application
Thank you for your interest in the National Tea Party Federation.
We are a broad coalition of national and regional Tea Party groups established to create a unified message and media response amongst key leadership and their affiliates. We will act in unison without a central leadership to collaborate and promote the movement’s core principles of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government, and Free Markets.
The Federation is committed to improving communications between local, regional, and national tea party organizations. Our purpose is to facilitate and support clarity of message, rapid response to media misinformation, and to continue to build the brand equity of the Tea Party movement.
Our Federation membership is purely voluntary. However, we ask that members represent a Tea Party, 9/12 or other related activist group that reflects the core principles of the NTPF.
We have established a few simple criteria for affiliation and inclusion into the National Tea Party Federation. We hope you will find these to be reasonable and effective in maintaining the quality and security of the NTPF.
Thank you for your consideration. Please complete the web form below after you have reviewed the Membership Agreement for the NTPF and submit. A representative will follow-up by phone and confirmn your inclusion into the National Tea Party Federation. No dues or funds are solicited or required.
Sincerely,
The National Tea Party Federation
