Analysis of the Tea Party Movement. The Tea Party Movement first began on January 24, 2009.
It was launched by Trevor Leach, chairman of the organization “Young Americans for Liberty” in New York State. The alleged cause for this protest was to challenge “obesity taxes” and “out of control spending,” with many of those attending donned in Native American headdresses, a throwback to the original Boston Tea Party.

While nearly all Americans head to family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving, the Senate is gearing up for a vote on Monday or Tuesday that goes to the very heart of who we are as Americans. The Senate will be voting on a bill that will direct American military resources not at an enemy shooting at our military in a war zone, but at American citizens and other civilians far from any battlefield — even people in the United States itself.
