From the youtube description:
One year after tea parties began popping up around the country, the Sam Adams Alliance hits the streets of Chicago to find out what people think and know about the movement.

But who are the Tea Party activists, really? SAM’s new report, “The Early Adopters”, offers insights from the activists themselves. See what the activists themselves had to say about the Tea Parties: their motivations, their fears, and who they support for president in 2012.
For instance, did you know that:
* A large number are politically involved for the first time. 47 percent of activists surveyed said that they were “uninvolved” or “rarely involved” in politics before their participation in Tea Party groups.
* When asked which issues were “very important” to them, 92 percent said “budget,” 85 percent said “economy,” and 80 percent said “defense.”
* No respondents listed social issues as an “important direction” for the movement.
* 86 percent oppose the formation of a third-party.
* 90 percent cited “to stand up for my beliefs” when characterizing their initial reason for involvement.
* 62 percent identified as Republicans, 28 percent as Independents, 10 percent as “Tea Party”
