Congratulations! We did it. Coffee Party USA worked with Americans for Financial Reform to organize a grassroots campaign to pass Wall St reform, an issue that 90% of you wanted to prioritize in a poll. We did it the Coffee Party way. Our letters, calls and lobby day efforts were recognized by many on Capitol Hill as refreshingly informed and civil. A special thanks to our volunteers in Maine and Massachusetts for helping to convince Republican senators Collins, Snowe and Scott Brown to vote for this historic legislation.
