The Boston Tea Party (initially referred to by John Adams as "the Destruction of the Tea in Boston"[2]) was a political protest by the Sons of Liberty in Boston, on December 16, 1773. The demonstrators, some disguised as American Indians, destroyed an entire shipment of tea sent by the East India Company, in defiance of the Tea Act of May 10, 1773. They boarded the ships and threw the chests of tea into Boston Harbor, ruining the tea. The British government responded harshly and the episode escalated into the American Revolution. The Tea Party became an iconic event of American history, and other political protests such as the Tea Party movement after 2010 explicitly refer to it.
The Tea Party was the culmination of a resistance movement throughout British America against the Tea Act, which had been passed by the British Parliament in 1773. Colonists objected to the Tea Act because they believed that it violated their rights as Englishmen to "No taxation without representation," that is, be taxed only by their own elected representatives and not by a British parliament in which they were not represented. Protesters had successfully prevented the unloading of taxed tea in three other colonies, but in Boston, embattled Royal Governor Thomas Hutchinson refused to allow the tea to be returned to Britain.
The Boston Tea Party was a key event in the growth of the American Revolution. Parliament responded in 1774 with the Coercive Acts, or Intolerable Acts, which, among other provisions, ended local self-government in Massachusetts and closed Boston's commerce. Colonists up and down the Thirteen Colonies in turn responded to the Coercive Acts with additional acts of protest, and by convening the First Continental Congress, which petitioned the British monarch for repeal of the acts and coordinated colonial resistance to them. The crisis escalated, and the American Revolutionary War began near Boston in 1775.
The Boston Tea Party arose from two issues confronting the British Empire in 1765: the financial problems of the British East India Company, and an ongoing dispute about the extent of Parliament's authority, if any, over the British American colonies without seating any elected representation. The North Ministry's attempt to resolve these issues produced a showdown that would eventually result in revolution.[3]
As Europeans developed a taste for tea in the 17th century, rival companies were formed to import the product from China.[4] In England, Parliament gave the East India Company a monopoly on the importation of tea in 1698.[5] When tea became popular in the British colonies, Parliament sought to eliminate foreign competition by passing an act in 1721 that required colonists to import their tea only from Great Britain.[6] The East India Company did not export tea to the colonies; by law, the company was required to sell its tea wholesale at auctions in England. British firms bought this tea and exported it to the colonies, where they resold it to merchants in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Charleston.[7]
Until 1767, the East India Company paid an ad valorem tax of about 25% on tea that it imported into Great Britain.[8] Parliament laid additional taxes on tea sold for consumption in Britain. These high taxes, combined with the fact that tea imported into Holland was not taxed by the Dutch government, meant that Britons and British Americans could buy smuggled Dutch tea at much cheaper prices.[9] The biggest market for illicit tea was Englandby the 1760s the East India Company was losing 400,000 per year to smugglers in Great Britain[10]but Dutch tea was also smuggled into British America in significant quantities.[11]

Saying GOP control of the Senate is more important than any single candidate, a national tea party group threw its support Monday behind Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas the man the Tea Party Express had tried to unseat in this summers Republican primary.
The about-face underscored concerns within various factions of the conservative movement that the GOPs efforts to win control of the Senate could hinge on Mr. Roberts re-election, and reopened simmering questions about whether the tea party insurgency has helped or hurt Republicans electoral chances over the last four years.
After turning back a challenge from Milton Wolf, a tea party-backed candidate with no electoral experience, Mr. Roberts is now trying to rebuild trust within the GOP even as he fends off an independent candidate, Greg Orman.

I think at the end of the day that tough primary battle against a pretty much nondescript tea party candidate exposed his weakness, and so far there is no real indication that he is bringing all of those people back, said Burdett A. Loomis, political science professor at Kansas University. If they go back, they are going to go back in the most begrudging way.
In order to try to push unity on Kansas Republicans, national establishment and tea party figures have parachuted into the state to do what they can to rescue Mr. Roberts campaign.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the partys 2008 presidential candidate, have stumped with Mr. Roberts, as have tea party favorites Sarah Palin and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, another hero of grass-roots conservatives, plans to campaign with Mr. Roberts later this month.

GOP analysts, though, say the key to the race could be winning the support of Mr. Wolf, who has backed Gov. Sam Brownbacks re-election bid, but has not endorsed Mr. Roberts.
The difficulty he has is Dr. Wolf has still not endorsed him even though a good number of Wolf supporters see the wisdom of endorsing Roberts because power of the Senate could be at stake, said Matt Hickam, a Kansas-based GOP consultant.

EMMAUS, Pa. -
The head of the Lehigh Valley Tea Party is demanding a public explanation from East Penn School Board about the school district's handling of construction debris containing potentially hazardous asbestos that was buried near an elementary school.
Tea party chairman Ronnie DelBacco accuses the school district of committing an environmental crime and charges that its board is "disinterested in uncovering the truth."
DelBacco sent his open letter to all nine school board members Monday and to news media, including Fox News.
The school board will meet at 7:30 p.m. Monday.
The letter was in regard to "recent illegal dumping and environmental crimes."
DelBacco said taxpayers deserve answers to "a few serious questions before any of your re-election campaigns begin."
Those questions have to do with construction debris illegally dumped on wooded East Penn property near Wescosville Elementary School by unknown parties last year.
After the district learned about it, unidentified administrators ordered the material buried on the site. School officials have said those administrators no longer are employed in the dsitrict.
Although he misspelled his name, in his letter DelBacco asked if former district superintendent Thomas Seidenberger ordered burying the material. Siedenberger, who retired a few months ago, has denied to Channel 69 News that he did that.

Were they disruptive or was it the T-shirt that caused the president of the Cincinnati Tea Party and others to be ejected Monday night Ohio Gov. John Kasich's campaign rally in West Chester Township?
Ann Becker, tea party president and a Butler County voter, said she was wearing an "Ohioans Against Common Core" T-shirt when private security stopped her from entering the event at Voice of America MetroPark and asked if she was invited.
The security officer went inside to confirm the invitation with Butler County GOP officials, who hosted the rally, while about eight other people got into the event without being stopped, Becker said.
Becker, who served as a Butler County GOP central committee woman until May, said she was told she was not on the guest list, even though she showed the officer the email RSVP she had sent to the Butler County GOP earlier in the day.
"He said I had to leave the premises immediately or I would be removed," said Becker, who was among a group of T-shirt wearing protesters who were denied access to the event.
"I was turned away by my own county party. That's my voting location."
The protesters had lined the driveway leading up to the Ronald Reagan Lodge where the rally was held. Becker said she took off the T-shirt to gain access to the event but was still denied.
Kasich campaign spokeswoman Connie Wehrkamp didn't mention the T-shirts in her emailed comment to The Enquirer.
"Unfortunately a few people chose to be disruptive and were asked to leave by security," Wehrkamp said.
