Line 1: − The '''Tea Party Patriots''' is one of thousands of groups in the [[Tea Party Movement]], claiming 2,800 smaller affiliate groups and over 15 million members. Co-founders and national coordinators of the Tea Party Patriots include [[Jenny Beth Martin]] and [[Mark Meckler]]. The Tea Party Patriots, acting as an individual group among many other [[Tea Party organizations]], focuses primarily on the goal of reestablishing [[limited government]] to America's [[Constitutional Republic]], and has expressed that they are not as supportive on the [[pro-life]] and [[marriage]] issues as other groups demonstrate. For example, [[Ralph King]], reportedly a member of the Tea Party Patriots national leadership council and also its co-coordinator in [[Ohio]], was quoted as follows:<ref>http://www.lifenews.com/2010/11/15/nat-6849/</ref>+ − {{cquote|When they were out in the [[Boston Harbor]], they weren’t arguing about who was gay or who was having an abortion.
