The Coffee Party USA is gaining strength, percolating from the ground up, and it’s now joining forces with Public Citizen, People for the American Way and others to hold actions around the nation on January 21 to “commemorate” the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision. (In another sign of disgust with buy-partisan sellouts, more than 1,000 people gathered earlier this week in New York City to launch the No Labels Party.) The Coffee Party will be holding a rally on Jan. 21 in Washington, DC and a People’s Summit the next day. You can also sign up with Public Citizen to help organize an event marking the Citizens United decision to give corporations remarkable citizenship powers – and we’d love to hear from you, too, because Democracy North Carolina will very likely hold a forum or other event in one or more locations in North Carolina. Post a comment or send us an email <mailto:info@democracy-nc.org> with your idea of an activity appropriate for the day.

I have a feeling that the impact of the coffee party will be minimal and never reach the influence of the Tea Party. Clearly citizens are more interested in cutting the spending.
