Coffee Party



Furious at the tempest over the Tea Party -- the scattershot citizen uprising against big government and wild spending -- Annabel Park did what any American does when she feels her voice has been drowned out: She squeezed her anger into a Facebook status update.

let's start a coffee party . . . smoothie party. red bull party. anything but tea. geez. ooh how about cappuccino party? that would really piss 'em off bec it sounds elitist . . . let's get together and drink cappuccino and have real political dialogue with substance and compassion.

I can respect the skepticism of some (thread), but this article on the Coffee Party movement was intriguing. See as well the website, including the vids (the one by the founder and the third by an older army vet in particular). Hmm ... maybe, I should have wrote this when having my morning coffee!
