The Unity Campaign is an emerging initiative of the Coffee Party, unfolding as a follow-though on our popular and important Unity Petition.

Thousands of Coffee Party participants have "Declared their Unity". Here in this framework, we bring that idea down to earth, by offering everyone an opportunity to give that broad idea some specific meaning.

In the context of our concern with "Money in Politics", we are exploring to ways build grass-roots unity across a wide array of groups and individuals who feel that the influence of big money in our politics is out of control, and we must band together as Americans to resist the destructive and corrosive effects these powerful special interests are having on our nation.

You are invited to become involved in this process, by helping us identify the characteristics of national unity as you understand them, and by participating in a democratic process which will help ensure that we include absolutely everything our participants bring to us.

In this framework, you can

• Vote on an existing set of "unity principles" that a team of Coffee Party members have brought together, selecting and supporting those principles that feel right to you, or which you personally accept and believe.
• Suggest to us new "unity principles", adding them to the list of options which become available for voting -- thus, essentially "placing your ideas in nomination" along with principles we have already identified.
• Add your comments, opinions or suggestions for all of us to consider and review.

We invite you to consider these points. When you sign in, you can check the items where you feel you can agree, or add new ones.
