The Tea party is hardly grassroots. They are funded by The Koch
Brothers (HUGE in oil coal, gas. Father Fred Koch was a charter member
of John Birch Society). More Tea Party funding provided by Dick Army
(former congressman) by way of "Freedomworks" (freedom for millionaires
and billionaires), and Karl Roves "American Crossroads" .
