I've only heard about them through the radio. Because I'm pretty far to the left, I tend not to be a cheerleader for the Democratic Party.

If you're involved, I'd like to hear your feedback.

Thanks! :thumbsup:

1. They have a Facebook page
So far from what I've read of their postings - I'm not impressed. They seem to be a lukewarm version of fencesitters ala the No Labels group. :shrug:

2. They seem to be more aggressive than the Dem Party :)
"We the Corporations vs. We the People" Rally on Jan. 21 — the anniversary of the controversial "Citizens United" Supreme Court decision. The Rally is on the east side of the U.S. Capitol Building.

4. That's not the coffee party
They might be promoting that event but they didn't originate it.
