The US Taxpayers Party of Michigan (USTPM) is Michigan's recognized affiliate of the national Constitution Party. The national party was formed in 1992 under the name of the Taxpayer's Party, but changed its name in 1999 to the Constitution Party. The laws of the state of Michigan hindered the US Taxpayers Party of Michigan's intention to undergo the same name change, and therefore we still bear the original name. In just a few short years together with the national party, it has become the third largest party in America, and the fastest growing.
