I think people agree on a lot of things
The government is badly broken, the constitution is all but in name only, the rule of law is not respected. etc
this, to me is what tea party pretends to be, and what most tea party folks think it is.
it's actually grass roots, began as one person and a facebook page. As opposed to the TP which started with lobbyists and multinational corporations speaking through a cable "news" network.
yeah yeah yeah, there's no mention of God or allowing 40,000 people to die per year anywhere so it's probably liberal right? Check it out and figure out what works best for you.

Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis
interesting, please tell me how the coffee party backs the system as they take no money from corporate interests or lobbyists.
This is from the "About Us" section on the site:

that's up to you and me. last I heard we have the right to gather and protest. That has the capability to change policy. I think the Tea Party has had an impact and thats just a bunch of crazy people driven by corporations. Think about what a large vocal group armed with facts and historical perspective could do.
In France and italy the governments are scared of the power of the people. a novel idea in the US I admit.
Removing lobbying and private interests from government would fix our broken system, but it can't be done through elections and the voting booth. It becomes a catch 22.

We DO have the power to influence elections. The problem is that we have been lulled to sleep by creature comforts and have or jobs held hostage against us. until we are willing to take a face full of teargas and step in front of the fire hose and go to jail they will never know we are serious. It is done in other countries it can be done here.
believe me, they are scared shitless of us. why do you think they spend so much money trying to keep us down and divided?
If it's not that, then it's bloody revolution. Let's save that as plan B.

Agree on all counts. However mark my words, Americans have absolutely no tolerance for discomfort. When it gets uncomfortable, things will change....fast.

.....or Beanbaggers....
More and more people speaking out however in the end will this kind of protest ever have any effect that will cause change?

well played.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
The fact that you even ask this question tells me how lost we are, how far we've fallen from the ideals I grew up with in this country.
my answer is: it used to. It worked for Gandhi and the Aparteid movement. When Bush wanted to gamble social security funds on the stock market, Even conservative Americans said "Far Enough", and we turned him away. In that one instance and not many others, the system worked.
Look, the bottom line is that you vote, stay active, and protest. Those are the rules. Politicians controlled by corporations play outside the rules but that's because they can do it without anyone really noticing.
If we, the people play outside the rules things get unpleasant.
so bottom line about the coffee party. I joined on facebook because it was making fun of the tea party. Then I realized this is a group I could allign myself with. That's all I can do.

Ah yes, sorry I had meant to respond and my attention was diverted.
I do not think presently things are not uncomfortable, not by my definition anyway.
Keep the reality shows going, the in an out burger and pinkberry serving, and the blackberries a tappin, things will remain calm...
when these things are not accessable on a mass level, it's going to get real ugly real quick.

I mean specifically food, shelter, water, electricity. However, loss of the creature comforts I mentioned will probably sting more than you think. particularly in regards to communication, TV and the internet.
It can't hurt. Can you ever think of a time where the citizens in this country have been so fed up? Yeah Bush pissed us off but people did not get ENERGIZED. More awareness sounds good to me.
It was the same and worse under Bush however the stagedy of FEAR was used quite effectively to squash the masses during our time of so called war on terror.
