Wake Up and Stand Up --Coffee Party Kickoff Sat. March 13 - Let's hear your slogans!

[wordpix]

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.

1. It's been claimed that it's a GOP Front Group

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=7843427

I don't know that it is... but some of the stuff on their facebook page is beyond disgusting.

[FSogol]

2. Correct, GOP Front group. n/t

[BrotherLove]

35. The Tea Baggers have been pushing that along with their hate leveled against the Coffee party

[wordpix]

3. I don't think it's a front - on Facebook are a couple of O supporter friends of mine

[Mari333]

[RandomThoughts]

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.

[midnight]

17. So true, and I myself, gearing up for a little bit of St. Patrick's day celebration

could see adding a bit of Baileys to mine..

[RandomThoughts]

22. Sounds like a good idea. Need to get out for a drink soon

I'm going to be out having a pint or two myself, weekend here and all.

Been awhile since I been out, Don't think I will wait till then, but will be out that night also. Always like the St. Patrick story.

[Newest Reality]

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!"

[Subdivisions]

7. If this is not a violation of DU policy, it's on the razor's edge. n/t

[wordpix]

9. what's the problem? Can't let people know what other orgs are doing?

and BTW, I don't get paid for blogging OR posting something I think people might be interested in, OR for going to a cafe to meet some people who want to get Congress moving.

[Mari333]

13. wait a minute, tho..would you join a group that Medea Benjamin is in?

she is on there. just wonderin. I adore Code Pink. I would think she checked this out before she joined.

or maybe she is on there undercover

either way, I like her a lot.

[wordpix]

15. I like Code Pink but I can't meet Medea Benj. I'm going to another in DC

[peace13]

11. Join the Coffee Party, it's grounds for treason. n/t

sloganeering!

[tabbycat31]

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.

[Touchdown]

28. I'm sure it will be ... Like Buttah!

[county worker]

21. If it were perfectly sunny and a beautiful day some here would complain the weather isn't real.

No one here knows anything about the Coffee Party first hand. Go to one and them come back and report>

[JTFrog]

23. I think what turned me off immediately was going to the "Fan Photos" page.

I don't do Facebook, so I don't really get it. Lot's of anti-Obama and PUMA propaganda. :shrug:

[Loki]

24. I'm a fan on Facebook

Here's my slogan.........Grounds for divorce: GOP - the party of no employment, no health care and no ideas. Coffee Party USA

[damntexdem]

25. How's this?: "We want orange juice, not a diuretic!"

We especially don't need a GOP front group.

[wordpix]

31. we want action, not verbal....

diarrhea :evilgrin:

[Touchdown]

26. Why is Coffee Party even Necessary? Is DFA so old hat it's passe now?

What about Move On? Iraq Veterans Against the War, etc? :shrug:

[Touchdown]

29. Welcome to Coffee Party! I'm Verklempt!

Here's a topic....
