It has been 10 years since more than 1 million grassroots activists from all over the country gathered in Washington, D.C., on the National Mall to protest against reckless spending, bailouts, and a government takeover of healthcare. The Taxpayer March on Washington, as it came to be called, was a flashpoint that defined the political process. Now, in the next year, the conservative grassroots are set to define the issues for the next decade.

The historic 2009 rally on the Mall was a moment that grew into a sophisticated political movement. Republican politicians who were previously thought to be unbeatable were unseated, and the movement created a real seat at the table for voices calling for less government and more freedom.
