The liberals and pro-Obama activists across the United States have launched their Coffee Party initiative as a response to the conservative conventional Tea Parties.
在美國的民主派和親奧巴馬活躍分子，已開拔他們的咖啡黨倡議，作為回應傳統保守的茶話黨。
The party, which boasts more than 141,000 Facebook fans as of Saturday, said in its statement that "today's coffee houses have been a huge success — both for Coffee Party USA and for democracy. All across the US, Americans from all political sides sat down for civil conversation and, of course, coffee," reported CNN.
咖啡黨在上週六擁有超過 141,000 Facebook粉絲，在聲明中說：“今天的咖啡屋已經是巨大的成功 - 包括美國的咖啡黨和民主兩者。所有人橫跨美國，來自所有政治派別的美國人坐下閒談，和當然有咖啡，“CNN報導。
Coffee Party founder Annabel Park, who was a volunteer campaigner in Barack Obama's presidential team, dismissed claims that her party is "aligned" with any party, describing the US bipartisan political system as outdated.
咖啡黨創始人安娜貝爾派克，她是奧巴馬競選總統團隊的義工運動者，駁回聲稱她的政黨是與任何政黨“排列一致”的，描述美國的兩黨政治制度已經過時。
Park said the disputed healthcare plan is indicative of the fact that the government is not working.
派克說爭議的醫療保健計劃，是一個事實 的直說，即政府唔掂。
"We feel like the health care debate showed not only that we are a very divided country, but there's something really wrong with our political process. We kind of got to see the innards of the political process and realize there's something very broken. I think that's what we're responding to."
“我們覺得醫療保健辯論顯示，不祇是我們是一個很分裂的國家，而且我們的政治進程確實有些出錯了。我們是那種看到政治進程的內臟，和認識到有些很爛的事，我想那就是我們所要作出響應的。“
Reacting to the move, people in the conservative Tea Party camp characterized it as a weak attempt and a fabricated response to their own cause.
回應那行動，在保守的茶話黨陣營的人們描繪它為輭弱的圖謀，和是為自己的理由的一個編造回應。
"This Coffee Party looks like a weak attempt at satire or a manufactured response to a legitimate widespread grassroots movement," says Brendan Steinhauser, director of federal and state campaigns for FreedomWorks, that organizers Tea Parties.
Jim Hoft of the St. Louis Tea Party said argued that the Coffee Party "is driven from the top down and it's not a grass-roots movement driven from the bottom up."
