Eric Byler is interviewed by a Charlottesville TV station on Saturday, March 13, in Charlottesville on Coffee Party National Kick-off Day. According to the Coffee Party USA website, there were more than 350 coffee party meetings in 44 states on Saturday. In addition, there are now 159,000 fans on the Coffee Party Facebook page, compared to 111,991 fans for the largest Tea Party Facebook page. Not bad for a 100% grassroots movement that’s just a few weeks old!
UPDATE: See the FiveThirtyEight interview with Annabel. Among other things, she talks about how Organizing for America doesn’t “inspire” her. I agree, maybe it has something to do with the fact that OFA is 100% establishment, part of the – yaaaaaaawwwwwn – DNC?
