"We are a group of 500+ people who share the goals of less government, fiscal responsibility in government, and improving the business climate here in Michigan to attract and grow businesses and create jobs. The main goal of the Independent Tea Party Patriots is to get actively involved in the political process to identify and support candidates who best support those basic goals, and then hold them accountable to introduce and pass legislation supporting our goals. We are non-partisan but generally conservative." Formerly known as Independent Tea Party Patriots
