Since my last post I discovered the above, which is pretty much already doing what I suggested below. So why not join them at this link and motivate them to organize a Latte Party around the country?

How about forming our own grass roots “party” as an antithesis to the tea party? And call it the Latte Party? We progressives are fed up with the Democrat Party because they don’t have the courage of their convictions, letting the Republicans have their way while in the minority. It’s time for true progressives to stand up, organize and start to groom independents for public office, since the two-party system is broken beyond repair. And yes, let’s revel in the fact that we’re educated, smart, conscious and like fancy coffee and arugula, all those things that the idiots in the tea party resent, and rightfully so.

So why not? I know I’m not the only political progressive that feels this way, betrayed by the Democrat Party. I hear all of the progressive media I mentioned in the previous thread voicing the same thing and their audience is large and growing larger by the minute.

So why not start the Latte Party, right here, right now? Obama proved what can be done with internetworking from the grass roots up. Why not organize ourselves for our own progressive agenda to not only put pressure on the Democrats but to even support progressive independent candidates? Why not organize a platform, town hall meetings, even a march on DC?

One thing those tea parties have demonstrated is that the “people” are pissed at what’s going on in DC and through organization real effects are heard out of the mouths of Congress. So why not a progressive agenda? Why not now? Why not start with us? What do you say?

Surely we’re not so self-involved that we won’t invest a little time for change? I mean, we did get involved at least a little for Obama, didn’t we? And Obama isn’t the answer, at least by himself. As he told us himself, we the people are the solution. So let’s get this Party started? Join us in discussing the possibilities in this thread at the Gaia IPS pod.
