In These Times: The chairman of FreedomWorks, the group credited with mobilizing the Tea Party movement, former Congressman Dick Armey spent years lobbying for a group recognized by the State Department as being a terrorist organization. Armey was employed as a lobbyist by leading international consulting firm DLA Piper. In that capacity, from 2005 to 2009, Armey promoted the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran, otherwise known as Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK), which the State Department has branded a terrorist group.
