Tea Party

The Tea Party movement was an American fiscally conservative political movement within the Republican Party that began in 2007, catapulted into the mainstream by Congressman Ron Paul's presidential campaign.[1] The movement expanded in response to the policies of Democratic President Barack Obama[2][3], the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (Bail-Out) of 2008,[4] the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009,[5][6] and a series of HealthCare reform bills.[7], and was a major factor in the 2010 wave election[4][5] in which Republicans gained 63 House seats[6] and took control of the U.S. House of Representatives. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_movement
