Marketing Research
In March 2010, Sam Adams Alliance released the first of a series of "Activist Insights Reports" titled "Early Adopters: Reading the Tea Leaves," the first-ever comprehensive study of leaders in the tea party movement. The study, which received coverage from The New York Times, Politico, The Washington Times, U.S. News & World Report and Rush Limbaugh, among others, surveyed 50 active leaders in the movement on their motivations for becoming involved. It found that about half of tea party activists have never before been involved in politics, and that many became involved out of fear of passing on larger government and insurmountable debt to their children and grandchildren.
In August 2010, a follow up report exploring the Tea Party movement was released titled "Next Wave: A Surf Report."
In September 2010, Sam Adams Alliance released their first "Market Insights Report" titled "Surface Tension: Tea Parties and the Political Establishment."

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“One of the most important findings to come out of our research is that being where you want to be is good for you. We found a very strong correlation between preferring the role you are in and well-being. The homemaker who is at home because she likes that “job,” because it meets her own desires and needs, tends to feel good about her life. The woman at work who wants to be there also rates high in well-being.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
