where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't we will respond with that time a street that sums up the spirit of a people yes we came. here this week to. take it seriously. and they miss it they are going to get it right is it so they can't have it when they think that they will endure. it. for barack obama and the democrats to sweeping to power with a promise of power and charge citizens uprise called the tea party movement i managed to miss it was known to be government spending to health care and climate change legislation and notes what himself obama is because he doesn't get it

because it's been too you seem to work on this president's tea party candidates emerge to sweep the republicans to victory in the house of representatives thirty two percent of the candidates who were elected last night across this country are affiliated with the tea party there's the tea party john middle way and we're sending a message to. and both see it as a group shooting action of the president and his policies. what does it feel. feels bad. i came to the united states to examine the tea party phenomenon any particular the accusations that the protesters will pawns in a code power play by a small group of billionaires and corporate players their recruiting their. to do the bidding of corporate america this is not some corporate sponsored thing these citizens' groups are progress i mean for training being back make some billionaire

. person or people prove it's not going to be too serious a story just like jimmy. who . was coming. up come to kentucky the heart of tea party country it's more than a year before the movement will organize to become a force at the two thousand and ten elections the diverse group of protesters here are united by a combination of anger and patriotism is all american families and militia groups trolling for new members of this the so-called purpose we think is really opinion this robot i were the first ever and

a cost of historical figures evoking the spirit of the american revolutionaries at the boston tea party from which this movement takes its name beginning less than a month after obama took office the protests reflected a mounting anger at both democrats and republicans legislating massive bailout packages in response to america's economic crisis so while the tea party idea was first right during this on a rant by saying they say reports of bricks and tele this is america how do you people want to pay for your neighbor's mortgage you want to get a family's chicago tea party in july i mean kapleau so i want to show the lake michigan out of the star order. testifying to the cross for its nature of the uprising the vast majority of tea partiers a middle class americans with little or no experience in political organizing i'm just i'm on that was tired of seeing what was going on in my country and i decided

to do something about it. the. day after rick santorum only had his way and there were about twenty two people big got together on a conference call and we decided to have around the tea parties one week from that day we had fifty tea parties with thirty thousand people in attendance. then we thought something brewing and we have on april fifteenth eight hundred fifty plus tea parties across this country with one point two million people in attendance. if the tea parties began as a bipartisan are prizing against government waste they quickly morphed into an all out attack on president obama and his entire policy agenda he kept on not caring to grab him from doctor not a prime turn our writing our interest that crock first just got jammed up and

bring back the promised contacts and. while many factors are involved. i was particularly interested what role being played by a group called americans for prosperity i have. been mission is to engage citizens in the nine of limited governments and free markets essentially they are activists for radical form of capitalism with private enterprise government as the guiding force and so i see particular interest with a chief benefactor brothers charles and david a colleague according to the forbes list of the richest americans the koch city kofi with personal fortunes estimated at more than twenty billion dollars. to find out more i've come to the annual convention of americans for prosperity. world peace and sing himself publicly from the take

a passing move david quote is known to play a very hands on role with i have pate. and sure enough as representatives of the group's hundred thousand members reported on their activities they later was there to keep the news it's now my great pleasure to. begin my favorite part of the summit conference and that is the report by representatives of each of the twenty five chapters that they have on their activities over the last year we don't organize huge tea parties all throughout the state we have not had the largest tea party in the state the largest tax day tea party in the nation on april fifteenth. i vote we prevail twenty nine people already organized dozens of tea parties mr chairman our grassroots efforts are engaged they're energized and they're ready to fight for their freedom and if you try to raise our taxes and

rappel on our liberties we are going to. or make your life yes thank the members flatly deny the charge of player asteroids or the name given to fight grassroots organizations that are essentially corporate fronts it's nonsense that there is no such thing among our our people as astroturfing i'm here with four hundred fifty other people from north carolina and we're all individuals. to find out more about the recent curiously publicity shy brothers and their company koch industries i turn to a man who's been investigating them for a number of years. from the environmental poor greenpeace koch industries is the company nobody's ever heard of it's the second or first largest private company in this country we don't even know how much money to make they're primarily

a refining company and pipeline company they now have expanded into paper chemicals acquiring other companies in recent years there worldwide based here in the united states in wichita kansas davies and green assert that americans for prosperity are essentially just a low being for koch industries david koch deliberately founded these groups to intervene in the government to reduce taxes on corporations to reduce the impact of environmental laws. that intersected with what became the tea party movement an uprising against the government and against governments writ large against taxes and against health care regulations so they basically used this public sentiment to forward their corporate agenda this charge of profiteering was especially evident i have peace opposition to a proposed climate change bill that would have come profits of oil industry players

like coke industries. in two thousand and nine after the obama administration came on there was massive momentum towards climate regulation suddenly there was a real possibility of getting new good laws are passed and they went into high gear attacking obama from day one even started before the obama administration attacking any climate legislation they've run for years the summer air tours where they run what looks like a grassroots activists campaign around the country with a bus and t. shirts and hats and handouts and little vents and small towns in fact it's a corporate funded propaganda tour as i arrived in philadelphia for one of the forty it's who are events and i have peace railed against the climate change to be known as cap and trite legislation oh. well ok ok just trust. right ya. this controversy is heading in the wrong direction.

and that direction is looking. more. troll or i don't care take it slow. oh yeah. attack attack attack they reframe to this cap and tax as opposed to the term cap and trade term for carbon trading and went on the attack and declared this part of the obama agenda to impose new government regulations and grow the government global warming regulation equal to socialism attacking green jobs and renewable energy as some imposition on people's freedom this is the last stop in this leg of what we call our hottie a tour with exposing the fraud of what is basically a massive trillion dollar tax on american energy users the following is a green jobs and government subsidized alternative fuels and what we're doing at

americans for prosperity is educating americans to understand the threat to our to our future what's motivating the government to try and bring in the cap and trade bill it's a marxist regime basically a bomb ministry in the democratic party is going to call it the left so it's stream now it's about seizing control over our lives it's a total garbage scheme and it's going to destroy jobs and industries country. a local tea party school also one hand to lynn in support of the one thing that i really want to get rid of people is that this is not some corporate sponsored thing we are for i know i am i live in a apartment i have two kids and a wife struggling but this is a feel sorry for me thing that i'm just telling you no we're not corporate sponsors period and everything is grassroots our organization itself was from the ground up no budget not low budget nobody we've done everything free on the website for free

you know going to great lengths to make this happen and it's all in the name of liberty and justice. you know where founding fathers had proposed this country be a republic. but i have plenty of far more than just a tool for the cops oil interests as evidenced by their leading role in opposing and not out of obama's assaults on liberty healthcare reform. that would have seen the government's. insured americans and breaking the private health insurance probably. out of here. for veteran political operatives and a.f.p. president team phillips the group success lies in their ability to tap into the american spirit of individual ism well americans have a long tradition of individual ism and of good healthy skepticism toward their

government i mean about the worst thing you can say in america is i'm from washington d.c. and i'm here to help instantly americans go wait a minute i don't trust that for a second and so i have a coalition of americans for prosperity we go out and we educate americans on hey here's the threat here's what this health care bill is going to do the take over here's what cap and trade going to do to your job and to your utility rates and we just say if you want to get at it here are ways to get active this goes to the heart of how the clerks not be manipulating tea party protesters and a fair proportion i have peace and support it on a much deeper level than personal financial gain because while americans might have a healthy skepticism about government i wonder how many of them really share the coax extreme vision of a free market economy you and i know that free market principles make sense for american families american jobs and i want term prosperity and that is essential at

a time when the very foundations of our nation are being challenged. government has become a monster crippling the economy and devouring personal liberties this poster is from a not a night the libertarian party campaign in which to run for vice president the party's political platform is an insight into just how radical his views and those of the free market movement. they saw the abolition of the department of energy environmental protection agency the food and drug administration and a host of other public health and safety bodies not to mention social security welfare the public school system and of course huge tax cuts across the board but after spending over two million dollars of their own money on the campaign and receiving just one percent of the thought process changed course deciding that if

people wouldn't come to their philosophy they take their philosophy to the people. created and invested in a network of free market kirks including the establishment in ninety ninety four of a grassroots group called citizens for a sound economy that was the forerunner to americans for prosperity a number of documents have emerged from the citizens for santa con and he dies which give a candid insight into how these groups work to discards both to corporate donors and radical ideological goals. undertaxed look there's no one profit groups are allowed to keep they don't is identities confidential as is the case with many groups including green place but these lakes ninety ninety eight budget reveals just how much money citizens for a sound economy were saved from a wide variety of donors. more troubling was the fact that citizens for a sound economy took money there on astroturf campaigns directly on behalf of

a number of. then there was they work for the tobacco industry thanks to a major legal settlement in the light ninety ninety millions of internal tobacco industry documents have been made public the documents showing how citizens for a sound economy and other free market groups secretly paid millions of dollars to fight tobacco taxes and regulations using what i called a retail sales effort they pitched this to their own members as a tax on individual freedoms by big government the idea being that while people may not be moved to fight on behalf of big tobacco or blue almost anything to protect their own freedoms one can kind of secure the relevance with the lading role citizens for a sound economy played in killing the last major attempt to reform the health care system with the clinton administration posing

a new tobacco tax to help pay for their plan to back our company philip morris funded i made a grassroots effort by the group. citizens for a sound economy also work hand in hand with the health insurance industry to defeat the reform by running a few camps from the clinton plan the soviet style socialized medicine that would lead to a denial of kid treatment they said this supports democrats including first lady hillary clinton as they attempted to explain the reforms and love theirs and all that was why. that yours. was very low yeah i. was. trying to was that there was that charge of. albury hard to make sure every single american in.

one person who has worked on coalitions with citizens for a sound the corner me is wendell porsche a former health insurance industry spin doctor turned whistleblower about the specific if practices. they have insurance industry is very much like the tobacco industry it's held in very low regard by the public and they know that they have very little credibility themselves so they have to establish these front groups to carry their messages for them they do this so that a third party is telling their stories if they want to be told and getting the word out that they want to get out because according to when to question a cape in a fit of using front groups use that they can say things the company couldn't actually get away with saying themselves they're hired guns and they do what they are told to do and it doesn't matter necessarily what the tactics are sometimes that if it involves a been doing ethics or

a violating ethical standards they will do that terms like government takeover of health care system is one that has been hit many times to scare people away from reform and it's misleading no plan before congress would have come anywhere close to a government takeover but nonetheless it's a term that you know where you will be effective slippery slope toward socialism and united states socialism still has this connotation of something that is akin to communism it's not even worse because people who put those sins this together do it for a purpose and i know that that will that will evoke a certain emotion. but for twenty five years these campaigns tapping into people's distrust of government and since the individual is attracted to saws will follow in this race so much so that within hours of rick's and tele making he's famous tea party writes and i have peace was able to offer to get on national television talk to me lead nine's to get movement started read i've got out i've got five hundred thousand people who signed our petition against the stimulus bill i'm willing to

email all of them and tell them to come out to your event disintegrating and i want the only one to two thousand and four and internal reform actually caused citizens first and a court to me to split into two groups the second will. so freedom with all no longer financially connected to the courts freedom works in a similar model of corporate funded free market activism from day one they worked on the ground to help small groups organized. and when after a couple of months the movement was running out of steam freedom works helped to break their anger to mooching threats socialized medicine while i have paid some anonymous great americans with very deep pockets to find a multi-million dollar campaign by the group some good job some great americans come to us and say they were concerned about this health care is for us and they can see this train coming down the pike and they want to do something about it our

border madden said you know a lot of americans for prosperity wants to be a part of that. as i have paid. to hold events around the country they can be an almost carbon copy of the ninety ninety four excess sometime in the next six to ninety days. and let me write. down what you're going to work on by the government to make sure. that while you're. also. scaring senior citizens. some potentially lifesaving drugs could be would go and sit in your scripts and lose their home and would democrat politicians. and we started doing the twittering the facebook and e-mails. and. people showed up

. and said it was the worst august democrats his. change members of congress. police are called. getting physical if you're a senior citizen. take over is a disaster for you and the american people know that truth is on our side.

well congress eventually passed a very much compromised health care. by then opponents that helped make it so unpopular the health care became a major factor in the democrats the fate in two thousand and ten older voters in the last midterm split evenly this time they were overwhelmingly voting republican and why did they vote six out of ten said that they wanted to repeal health care. it's a properly understand the close influence on the rising power movement is a much bigger picture to be saying the coax exert influence in a number of ways when we know that they fund front groups like americans for prosperity that serve astroturf effort they also throw money straight into the political machine so they funded millions of dollars towards political candidates specific candidates they also of course have lobbying money coming into washington so they're sending lobbyists up to for their agenda the more more insidious stuff is starting in the one nine hundred seventy s.

a number of free market think tanks were born at the cato institute the heritage foundation heartland institute these groups were purpose built by right wing philanthropist like the coax to forward a corporate agenda and the regulatory agenda there is no better example of how the small harley coordinated network of crips the thought regulation been there almost single handed effort to manufacture the bite with a global warming is two thousand and thirty one hundred and forty one pokes skeptical of global warming found that out of the ninety percent of them written and or published by free market think tanks at the heart of what opponents have called the to noyon machine are the resident policy experts such as myron ebell of the competitive enterprise institute saying here talking to a group of i have pay members.
