Tea Parties Across the Country

(CNN) -- Conservatives are showing they know their way around the Internet just as well as liberals, as more than 300 organized "tea party" protests raged across the nation Wednesday.

The protests are a backlash against President Obama's bailout policies.

Heralded on videos and blogs, the movement also appears, in part, a reflection of a general anger among people who contend the government takes too much from their pocketbooks. "TEA" stands for "Taxed Enough Already," according to teapartyday.com, which lists organizers and their phone numbers.

Want to find a tea party? Text "teaparty" to 69302. Or get on Twitter or Facebook.

Conservatives have borrowed a page from Obama's Web-savvy style which he leaned on heavily during the '08 campaign and still uses to push initiatives. - CNN Story
