Tax Day Tea Party

Tax Day Tea Party is a nationwide organized event that protested the generational theft of public tax dollars by the federal goverment. In the spirit of the founding fathers Boston Tea Party, the organizers; Smart Girl Politics, Top Conservatives on Twitter, and the DontGo Movement, created a massive grassroots movement with scheduled protests in all fifty states on April 15th.

Founding

Their website states: "The Tea Party protests, in their current form, began in early 2009 when Rick Santelli, the On Air Editor for CNBC, set out on a rant to expose the bankrupt liberal agenda of the White House Administration and Congress. Specifically, the flawed “Stimulus Bill” and pork filled budget."

Mainstream Media

The broadcast networks evening newscasts on April 15, 2009 provided prominent coverage of the Tea Party rallies across the nation with time for the views of participants, but they tried to discredit the protests as a front for "corporate interests" or a "fistful of rightward leaning Web sites" -- a concern for motives and hidden agendas the same programs lacked when championing the 2006 pro-illegal immigrant marches.

Liberal Infiltrators

ACORN, Huffington Post and other Barack Obama supporters criticized the tax day tea parties, calling them a 'gripe fest by bunch of conservatives'. [2]
