why is your party called a coffee party usa? t: we are a response to the tea party and i love coffee. we are an alternative form of political engagement we focus on civil dialogue that helps people to get information about the issues and approach issues as fellow americans, as neighbors, as friends instead of representatives of parties, democratic or republican or independent. we try to get people to come to the table to learn the issues and make decisions together. we want to put civic engagement at the heart of organizing. right now, organizing is based on your affinity with issues and ideology. we want to see if we can advance that. it is more about pure democracy where we are collaborating on decisions together. host: give examples of how your organization does that. guest: we often meeting coffeehouses. we use a civic space where we can approach things and get ready to work and have the energy to focus on these issues that are very complex. they are often distorted bipartisan prisms. we want to say these are the facts about

partier turned coffee party or and blogger at whiskey with my coffee at blogspot dot com who will be speaking this saturday here in washington d.c. at the enough is enough rally at the capitol where i'll also be speaking welcome to you both good to have you with the city here thank you lynn first a question for you you had a bit of a run in with the police last night to have their right. i did it was ironic because a few minutes before i had this run in i was actually cautioning the protesters to remain calm and not to focus so much of their anger on the police there was a lot of tension in the air last night a lot of upset over what had happened in oakland and during the march i did notice some of the protesters saying provocative things to the police cursing it and i was urging everyone to. tone it down and just proceed calmly and just a few minutes after i you know said that i was crossing from one sidewalk to another i had a walk sign and it wasn't a particularly crowded spot at this point and a police officer saw me and actually stepped on the gas as i was crossing the crosswalk

somebody wanted to know if there was an alternative to the tea party, which is the coffee party, but the media does not know about it. c-span is doing their job. when the tea party has a guest, they have tea party members. there is no separate line for coffee party members. the difference between the key and coffee party is the interpretation of bahut "we the people close " are. it is all about if you agree with them, you are an american. host: almost out of time, what is your question? caller: just a comment about the media suppressing the voices. c-span, you have herman cain -- host: we have given 45 minutes to this guest, ms. park, go ahead. guest: it starts with a handful of people trying to change the country. the tea party movement, a lot of that was successful because there was a lot of money that went into building infrastructure and the got support from people inside washington and fox news, and we did not have that because we really are volunteers and it is very grass roots. that is often what happens, there is a huge difference in terms of resources and infrastructure. it i

boy heads down to occupied it's a coffee party in the big apple for arts and crafts protesters for them it's to wall street. and it's germany's multicultural melting pot boils over as the immigration anger drives a deepening divide minutes before. from berlin. activists say syrian security forces have killed at least thirty people during mass protests calling for the downfall of president bashar assad's regime this comes after the arab league condemned the continuing killings of civilians in the country the arab ministerial committee is due to hold another round of talks with syrian officials later on sunday to help end of the crisis the u.n. estimates more than three thousand people have been killed since march when the regime uprising began some of the protesters have also been calling for a no fly zone over the country and aerial support from nato warplanes but this isn't syrian writer and democracy. most of the population doesn't support foreign intervention. we're against military intervention whether it's a date tomorrow or in ten years time even if the regime is to ny late every

wondering if that's a motivating factor or if it brings the spirits down for the occupiers as the coffee party scene a lot of arrests this week from atlanta to especially oakland where we also saw scott olsen be injured by that tear gas canister what's one of the reactions there been like. oh people are furious about this because remember this is a very connected occupation there very much on top of what's going on in other cities and other areas across the country the beating of scott olsen the excessive violence and force used by the oakland police department was very closely monitored here people were furious about that and in fact it did sort of result in a boost in numbers which was later dampened by the coming rain and the weather but we saw even just two nights ago for example a major protest where you know one of the activists the they spoke to said that they spent all of these weeks training people to be nonviolence to be calm or just sort of give no reason for the police to crack down well because of these crackdowns in oakland they saw a lot of activists who were you know a little b

camps in the country and one let me ask you a few questions about that because i went down to the coffee party just the other week and we went and did the show from there and we happen to be there the night everybody was repairing because they thought that the big cleanup was going to happen next morning they're preparing for the police and so what does the county park occupiers decide to do with our massive cleanup operation themselves for the. prove you can complain of this about the annotation because that place was was spick and span i must admit specially if you compare it to other streets in new york to receive those types of efforts in oakland or is there a little bit of a different reaction and i can see the same relationship with the police. no and i'm glad you brought that up because we're seeing the exact same excuse being used over and over again around the country really because you can take these press releases then these these statements from bears and police officers and cope with the information officials you know you can take. and shuffle them up and rearrange them you know r

let me just say, let me make the point, that's pretty ux you know, ordinary coffee talk that we just heard. it's part of the party line. the fact of the matter is, all across eastern europe, and throughout the history of its implementation, in oil economies, the flat tax has proven to be the best growth engine for the economy. in the context of the growth, incomes go up for everyone and you treat everyone the same. i don't understand why all of these people out there, can't accept that fair is treating everybody exactly the same as everybody else. we have unfair brutal tax system that oppresses the economy. let's replace it with something that's fair. >> i think -- i think that you would find a lot of businesses would disagree with you. the deduction for health insurance is something that they have used very much. >> one of those romantic gal lan tarrens was mitt romney. took out full-page ad saying that the flat tax was a tax cut for a fat tax. even though taxes are outrageous at the same level, it completely exempts them from taxation. >> we're out of time. thank you very much. >> i'm listening -- >> sorry, con
