the coffee party movement



Got this video from Eric Byler, introducing a new project he describes as one of the most important things he's ever done: The Coffee Party Movement, created in response to the Tea Party Movement:
The Coffee Party Movement gives voice to Americans who want to see cooperation in government. We recognize that the federal government is not the enemy of the people, but the expression of our collective will, and that we must participate in the democratic process in order to address the challenges that we face as Americans. As voters and grassroots volunteers, we will support leaders who work toward positive solutions, and hold accountable those who obstruct them.
That's Annabel Park with a little extemporaneous statement of purpose for the Coffee Party Movement. For more information, go to the still-under-construction website here, the Facebook page ("Join the Coffee Party Movement") here, and subscribe the Coffee Party YouTube channel here.
