The Tea Party grassroots movement understands and is sending the message to Washington that we cannot tax, borrow, and spend our way to prosperity," Culberson said.
Guida, 26, said he was inspired to help organize the New York protest after watching CNBC on-air editor Rick Santelli's "rant" on Feb. 19, in which Santelli accused the government of "promoting bad behavior" in regard to the Homeowners Affordability and Stability Plan, and raised the idea of a "Chicago Tea Party."
Santelli's words "really struck a chord," said Guida. "I'm fed up with the spending and fiscal irresponsibility, particularly the 9,000 earmarks."
Guida said he used Facebook to organize his first protest on three days' notice on Feb. 27, and 500 people turned out for it. HE said 80 percent of tea party protesters have never attended rallies before.
Guida said he expects the movement to grow though Facebook and Twitter, and eventually the government will be forced to take notice.
"I think the voice on April 15th will be very loud, and I think the government's definitely going to have to respond as the tea party continues to grow in its voice," he said.
