In his recently released documentary, Turf Wars, Australian filmmaker Taki Oldham goes undercover to try and answer the question: "Just how real are the roots of the tea party's supposed grassroots uprising."

Oldham, examines the role corporate-funded grassroots groups (known as 'astroturf') have played in the recent health-care and climate debates and their central role in the tea party movement.

1. Force them to adhere to truth in advertising laws

and post who their funders and propagandists are.

I don't know too many teabaggers who would be really happy if they knew they were supporting a bunch of lobbyists, corporate fat cats, and other enemies.

3. Watched the film

Thanks, I watched the film and immediately started trying to get the word out, this is an important film and documents evidence of the corporate influence over the tea party.
