The "tea-party movement" grew out of the desire of average citizens to be heard, especially in the area of government taxation, spending, and take-over of our lives. Almost as soon as the grass-roots tea-party movement sprang up, so did the Anti-Tea-Party movement, much of it is funded by Organized Labor and Craig Varoga and George Rakis, Democratic Party strategists and principals of political consulting group, Independant Strategies.

The two have set up a number of so-called 527 groups (political groups who support issues rather than candidates). These 527 groups are used to grab "soft money" from Labor Unions and other well financed organizations.
