  • Does the Tea Party represent REAL America?

    That seems to be the claim made by pundits and journalists who either don't want to raise the ire of Tea Party activists and their Republican supporters in the media, or they really do want to convince the public that the Tea Party is "real America" and the rest of us are somehow not-so-real.   Meet Salim, and Arab American who politely takes exception to the narrative the media is currently selling.

    Recently on Facebook, my partner Annabel Park touched off what is becoming a national groundswell of anger toward "Tea Party" activists called "The Coffee Party Movement."

    Among other things, we are meeting at coffee shops around the country, mapping out netroots and grassroots strategies, and offering Americans an alternative to the "Tea Party" that takes a positive, reality-based, and solutions-oriented approach to civic participation. We hope to have rallies around the country on July 4th, and emerge in the mainstream media narrative as strong counter to the "Tea Party" movement.  After all, coffee is the American drink, and has been ever since we rejected taxation without representation via the Stamp Act.  Did frontiersmen and cowboys drink tea?  Nope, coffee!
