April 13, 2009
Happening in a city or state near you. I'm not sure it matters much to some folk what the true meaning behind them are - explained below. Some folks are angry that the proobamedia refuses to call him barry on anything and continue to not vet him.
There are three main sponsors of the Tea Parties: the DontGo Movement, Smart Girl Politics and Top Conservatives on Twitter. As an aside, I find it funny that John McCain, who barry said couldn't use a computer, is in the top 10 on Twitter.
From the National Tax Day Tea Party website. Below are links to other posts that provide more background, if needed.

Tax Day Tea Party
The Tax Day Tea Party is a national collaborative grassroots effort organized by Smart Girl Politics, Top Conservatives on Twitter, the DontGo Movement and many other online groups/coalitions.
The Tea Party protests, in their current form, began in early 2009 when Rick Santelli, the On Air Editor for CNBC, set out on a rant to expose the bankrupt liberal agenda of the White House Administration and Congress. Specifically, the flawed "Stimulus Bill" and pork filled budget.
During Rick's rant (see video below), he called for a "Chicago tea Party" where advocates of the free-market system could join in a protest against out of control government spending.
A few days later, grassroots activists and average Joe Americans began organizing what would soon become the Nationwide Chicago Tea Party effort.
On February 27th, an estimated 30,000 Americans took to the street in 40+ cities accross the country in the first nationwide "Tea Party" protest.
Organizers of the February 27th events pledged to continue on with an even bigger and better protest to follow the first. With April 15th being "Tax Day", it was decided to schedule the second round of Tea Party protests to ride alongside the tax deadline.
And with that, the "Tax Day Tea Party", the second round of the Nationwide Tea Party protests, moved into reality.
