We are excited to have received news today that Rex Bell, Libertarian candidate for the Indiana House of Representatives in District 54 is accepting the endorsement of the Boston Tea Party of Indiana. Bell joins Libertarian candidate for governor Andy Horning in the team of candidates representing Indiana’s newest political party.
Bell writes on his web site, “I plan on working to move government in a libertarian direction. I will support any bill that promotes that, however incrementally. I won’t support any bill that moves government in a non-libertarian direction, however incrementally.”
This coincides well with the Boston Tea Party’s platform of “reducing the size, scope and power of government at all levels and on all issues, and opposes increasing the size, scope and power of government at any level, for any purpose.”
Horning also recently accepted our endorsement. He was honored to receive it, while we are very excited about the strength of his constitution-based platform that will attract property tax protestors, education and child welfare advocates, and many other determined activists in Indiana.
The Boston Tea Party was founded by Tom Knapp in 2006 as a new libertarian alternative. It has grown tremendously in 2008, including the June founding of this Indiana affiliate. Bell and at least sixteen other candidates will represent the Boston Tea Party in nationwide elections this November.

How do I get an official endorsement from the BTP? I see that I’m already listed in the candidate section, but is that “official” or do I need to give my consent for it, which I do give?
