"Is that true? I kinda thought it started with Glenn Beck." I think the original idea came from somebody name Santelli or Santori (from CNBC) and an off-the-cuff comment that he made during a live broadcast when he was railing against the original bailout.

Yep, you’re right, altho I remember mentioning that we should send teabags to our reps before that. Not that I think I thought of the idea first, but I think it was being bandied about amongst regular people first. Ron Paul certainly didn’t think it up. It was TRULY a grass roots movement.
