Coffee Party of Clarksville, TN to hold monthly meeting

Clarksville, TN ChapterClarksville, TN – The Coffee Party of Clarksville, TN will be holding its monthly meeting on Saturday November 13th, 2010 from 12:00pm till 2:00pm at G’s Pancake House (803 South Riverside Drive).

Come join the local Coffee Party of Clarksville, TN as we work to discover workable solutions to some of our nation’s issues. Americans are longing for an energetic, non-partisan, and solutions-oriented approach to political discourse and civic participation. The Coffee Party is a rare achievement of all three ideals.

We believe that powerful special interests are employing deliberate tactics to divide and distract the American public, making us more susceptible to ill-considered proposals.  Critical policy discussions are subjected to a perpetual cacophony of misinformation designed to breed cultural resentment, and sound policy decisions are undermined by the temptation of our elected leaders to play to this noise instead of the substance of a debate.  The ugliness on television, on talk radio, and on blogs and conspiracy emails is alienating to the vast majority of Americans.  Alienation breeds apathy.  It shrinks participation, and leaves our democracy vulnerable to manipulation by the very special interests who fund and produce this alienation.

We need to learn to recognize and actively resist these tactics. We need to have a good understanding of Constitution and American history, and not allow the Constitution to be appropriated by vocal minorities seeking to advance a narrow, radical agenda. This is why we like to quote the Founding Fathers, Declaration of Independence, and other founding documents. This is why we are hosting a ground-breaking Mock Constitutional Convention. The values and ideals that inspired this country belong to us all; not just those who have the money and the motive to game the system. The only cure for the ailments of partisanship, special interest manipulation, and divisive tactics is active citizenship and informed participation from the American public.

About the Coffee Party

The Coffee Party Movement gives voice to Americans who want to see cooperation in government. We recognize that the federal government is not the enemy of the people, but the expression of our collective will, and that we must participate in the democratic process in order to address the challenges that we face as Americans.
