U.S. Army Vet. pt. 2: Curb Spending, Embrace Diversity, Term Limits

In Part 2, Mr. Alborn is more specific on reforms he would recommend for our government.

Alan P. Alborn of Manassas, Virginia served in the United States Army for a 22 years, in the Far East, Europe, and the Pentagon specializing in Military Intelligence, Special Operations, Logistics, Operations Research (ORSA), and Systems Engineering. After retiring from the military, he spent 15 years in senior positions with the private sector. Al is an Eagle Scout.

He received a letter of commendation from George W. Bush for his work on implementing Executive Order 13356, "Strengthening the Sharing of Terrorism Information to Protect Americans."




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. As voters and grassroots volunteers, we will support leaders who work toward positive solutions, and hold accountable those who obstruct them.

That's our mission statement, as it stands right now. This video is a more extemporaneous statement of purpose for the Coffee Party Movement.

We filmed this pn Feb. 10, 2010, outside of Salon Rouge in Dupont Circle while waiting for Salim Michel to finish up with a client. Moments later we shot Salim's video.

We'd love for you to shoot your own videos. We can put you in touch with filmmakers in your area if you need technical support, and we will help you post your videos here.




Contact us on Facebook by searching for "Join the Coffee Party Movement."

Also, we realize there are "Coffee Party" groups popping up all over the country, many of them independently and many of them a bit ahead of us in choosing the coffee theme. I hope we can all work together toward common goals. We are planning a convention this summer and all are welcome.

@Willredd94 why should one serve thier country in combat? war is the health of the state. these wars are drumbed up for dumb immoral reasons. whats so wonderful about putting wealth towards combat. progressives love armies and war. war is crap

[tonylee1973]

hey G.I. Joe ever heard of Yugoslavia? thats what happens when you get different ethnic and religous groups that can not inhabitat. everyone get ready and keep ammo.

[tonylee1973]

why is someone who is a veteran get placed on a pedestal in our society? before ww2 americans thought people who joined the army were dunces. our society is militarized now that a civilian who disagrees with a veteran or one these whore anylist on tv who was a general has thier patritism questioned. we now have an underclass of hispanics working here for low wages. this lowers wages for everyone else who is here legally. so yeay I want the border secure.

@Willredd94 hey how about not getting into these dumb "conservative" or "progressive humanitarian" wars? then we might not have to increase those pensions and benifits so much......

[Scorpion753]

Hypocrites

[Willredd94]

@UncleJohn56 Yes I am a conservative, you sound like a libertarian, not a conservative. Conservatives have always been for increasing and improving benefits and pay for veterans and military personnel. Ive never heard any person, liberal or conservative, say they oppose pensions and benefits for military personnel. Even Ron Paul, "Dr. No", supports increasing benefits and pensions for military veterans.

[UncleJohn56]

@Willredd94

You "think" yer a con. Anyone who says, "we should provide pensions" does not know the meaning of conservatism. "We" should not provide pensions for anyone! Pensions are socialist.

I have no deserve to serve in combat. I already have tax money stolen from me to pay others to do it.

I maintain my position. The man in this vid has no right to talk down to anyone. He is taking taxpayer money.

[Willredd94]

@UncleJohn56 What do you mean lib shit? I am very conservative, never voted for a liberal in my life, never will. So trying to offend ppl and serve your country in combat!
