Coffee Party's first blogger: Annabel

It doesn't matter now what Annabel's background is or is not. The Coffee Party Movement is bigger than that now and our American political grassroots quest for political action is much, much bigger bigger than that.

The vast majority of Americans are profoundly unhappy with the two status quo political parties and together we are searching. Some Americans seem to have found their voice in the Tea Party, but many of us find that party too sheepishly conservative seeming to follow the dictates of Fox news broadcasters. The Coffee Party is a response to that with an emphasis on civil discourse and for some a more centrist agenda. Meanwhile, may recent veterans are restarting the Whig Party. Their politics appear to lie somewhere between Coffee and Tea in temperament.

One thing for sure, we are tired of the business as usual model of the current two party system. The Democrats and Republicans have let us down, proving to be, more often than not, led by people who suffer from some or all of the proverbial deadly sins.

Most of us don't yet know whether the Tea Party or the Coffee Party or the Whig party or yet another party will earn our support in the months ahead. We do we are tired of being manipulated by corporate media and the two majority parties and it is time for us to reclaim our rights and responsibilities and to participate more directly in the governance of our nation.
