Everybody’s heard of the “Tea Party” here in Lansing. But what about the “Coffee Party” movement which is having a national get-together for coffee day this Saturday to discuss and cooperate on the issues.
I know many in the “Tea Party” movement and I appreciate their frustration with government, particularly at the federal and state levels. Okay, at the local level too. But I realize that we need cooperation to make all this work.
Check out this YouTube video about the national coffee party movement and check their website. I invite your comments.
Is it something that’s happening here in Lansing and mid-Michigan? If not, is it something that we need to get started?

I attended to 4-10 tea party rally at the capital this evening. I was extremely disappointed in opposition turnout, which until 7:45 was limited to myself and my boyfriend. We were being heckled constantly. We ended up leaving because of the hostility. There were no numbers to be safe with.
Now I understand that the coffee party is not technically supposed to be the “anti tea party.” But that is really what is needed, a visible anti tea party.
I don’t want to get together with a bunch of other like minded individuals and talk about my feelings. I want the people out there watching tv and undecided about the issues to see that it is okay to be one of us, that there are a lot of us too.
I am really tired of democrat apathy. Sorry to rain on your coffee parade.
