=== Culture ===
Indivisible.org, an organization closely aligned with President Obama's organization [[Organizing for Action]]<ref>[https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/organizing-for-action/ Organizing for Action (OFA) ]</ref> released a report detailing the accomplishments of Tea Party protesting, in which the highlighted the following:
# Changed votes and defeated legislation
# Radically slowed federal policymaking
# Forced Republicans to reject compromise
# '''Shaped national debate over President Obama’s agenda'''
# Paved the way for the Republican takeover in 2010 and Donald Trump today
The report concluded by saying that "These were real, tangible results by a group that represented only a small portion of Americans."
By engaging in culture through protest, by closing down streets in peaceful and constitutional activism, by holding up cardboard signs with original slogans written in sharpie, by being an activist bunch unwilling to join the [[Silent majority]], the Tea Party proved that [[Protesting]] works and influences culture.
