Then he found a new  full-time occupation: Tea Party activist.In the last year, he has  organized a local group and a statewide coalition, and even started a  \u201cbus czar\u201d Web site to marshal protesters to Washington on short notice.  This month, he mobilized 200 other Tea Party activists to go to the  local office of the same congressman to protest what he sees as the  government\u2019s takeover of health care.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Mr. Grimes is one of many Tea Party members jolted into action by  economic distress. At rallies, gatherings and training sessions in  recent months, activists often tell a similar story in interviews: they  had lost their jobs, or perhaps watched their homes plummet in value,  and they found common cause in the Tea Party\u2019s fight for lower taxes and  smaller government.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sehr sch\u00f6n auch:<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"text-align: justify\"><p><em>&#8220;The fact that many of them joined the Tea Party after losing their jobs  raises questions of whether <a title=\"Times article\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2010\/03\/13\/us\/politics\/13tea.html\">the movement<\/a> can survive an improvement in the  economy, with people trading protest signs for paychecks&#8221; <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Das ganze erinnert mich ein wenig an meinen verst\u00e4rkten Demonstrationsdrang, als ich noch zur Schule ging.
