While protesters gather on their state capitals across the country to show their support for the workers in Wisconsin, CNN thought they'd take some time out letting us all know that their astroturf tea party Republican re-branding effort just turned two.

TRAVIS (voice-over): Meet the woman who is considered, by many activists, to be the godmother of the Tea Party movement.

MARY RAKOVICH, TEA PARTY ACTIVIST: You should know what you believe in and stand up for it.

TRAVIS: She's an anti-abortion rights, pro-environment vegetarian, with two bad hips, cared for Medicare. She may have been the first to publicly protest the stimulus in early February, 2009. It was outside an event in Fort Myers, Florida, where President Barack Obama was promoting his plan.

(on camera): Critics might actually blame you, say, hey, this woman, Mary Rakovich, is responsible for the Tea Party movement.

2. CNN are jerks.
