Wake Up and Stand Up --Coffee Party Kickoff Sat. March 13 - Let's hear your slogans!
Join a coffee party today or host your own: http://coffeepartyusa.com/

At the kickoff, small groups will create signs and come up with a slogan to come together over. Here's mine:

DO YOUR JOBS & GROW JOBS (And may I say to some Congressional members: GROW UP! :-) :evilgrin:

MISSION: 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.

5. America, at least we are creative with politics, a Tea party and a Coffee party.
Someone is going to come up with expresso and earl grey factions, and it will get really complicated.

6. Hmmm ...
"If you have been fired and are feeling tired, it's time to get wired."

"Wake up to the smell of change and grounds for hope!"

"We'll bring the wall and you can climb it!"

"A bottomless pot of run-on transformation."

"Java 'nuff, yet?"

"Espresso yourself!"

20. I'm attending my local coffee party
not sure all the details about it but I figure it's worth a shot to attend. If I don't like it I simply won't go to future meetings.

We especially don't need a GOP front group.
