You never know what will grow from a very small seed. Did the Rick Santelli rant create the Tea Party movement? Maybe:
Tea Party Patriots wishes to extend a special thank you to Rick Santelli for his rant on February 19, 2009, which started this entire movement. Without Rick’s rant, this movement would never have started. Many others will try to take credit but don’t be fooled. He was the spark that began this fire.
