Tea Party Movement
From MediaMythBusters
In early 2009, protests were held in various U.S. cities in reaction to President Barack Obama's "stimulus" bill, increased government spending and government bailouts. On Feb. 19, when reporting on President Obama's proposed mortgage bailout plan, CNBC’s Rick Santelli issued a call for a national “Tea Party.” Although "tea parties" were held in dozens of cities across America and were attended by thousands, they did not receive significant media coverage until April 15, 2009 when Nationwide Tax Day Tea Parties were held simultaneously in hundreds of U.S. cities, and in all 50 states.
