The Coffee Party in Tallahassee

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.

MONEY IN POLITICS

The Coffee Party National Vote on Money in Politics concluded this past Monday night.

From every part of the country, over 3,100 took the time to become informed, by reading the background material, attending a National Coffee Summit meeting or joining a Cafe Call - and then expressed your opinion by voting. And nearly 1,400 wrote in comments and suggestions.

The results make it clear that Money in Politics is a core issue to over 95% of us - and the four specific approaches to action (focusing on the Fair Elections Now Act, the DISCLOSE Act, the Shareholder Protection Act and a Constitutional amendment) all received broad support.

This action plan will be announced soon that will coordinate closely with local Coffee Party groups, who are encouraged to do what they do best - including state or local initiatives to complement the national campaign.

MISSION STATEMENT

Coffee Party members represent the diversity of thought, background, and circumstance that is found in the cities, towns, and neighborhoods of our country. We are a meeting place for Americans seeking common ground and collective action to strengthen our democracy. We maintain our independence from all political parties and labels. Yes, we are non-partisan, but being non-partisan does not mean we will not take positions. It means that Coffee Party members will arrive at positions based on principles and facts, not on party affiliation. By seeking and spreading accurate information, we empower ourselves and others to take action and participate in the deliberative process. The Coffee Party provides a place where men and women of all ages, races, physical abilities, and orientations can come together for a respectful and honest exchange of ideas. We believe that by talking and learning together, we can take action to solve the problems facing our nation. Along with national goals, we encourage Coffee Party chapters across the country to pursue local and regional initiatives chosen by their members.
