Praise to the Coffee Party!!! Showing that just like coffee, there is something that all Americans of every walk of life have in common: the heirarchy in this country is hurting the middle class, the common populace, We The People, starting with healthcare and denying us right to “Life” then “Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”. Let this party become the new original “Tea Party”. I am going to join them and make the change we all really can believe in.
