On Sept 26th, 2010 at 8pm ET MTV will premiere 9500 Liberty. Annabel Park, explains how the lessons of 9500 Liberty, documenting how the extremists dominated the debate over immigration in Prince William County, VA in 2007 & 2008, inspired her to start the Coffee Party movement. The main lesson: the silent, disengaged majority must wake up and participate before extremists take over our governments.

I wanted to share this review of a film that I co-directed, 9500 Liberty, with you because it chrystalizes the underlying critique of America’s political process that led me and Eric to start the Coffee Party.

From the Boston Globe, 9/10/2010

“9500 Liberty” is not just about the clash of immigrant Hispanics and white nativists, but about what happens when a community’s civic machinery is hijacked by ideologues and extremists — and what exactly it takes for the silent center to push back.”
“A cynic might observe that the latter got involved only when they saw their property values start to decline. An optimist would take heart in the palpable outrage of citizens — trembling this time with indignation — who have remembered almost too late that scoundrels are emboldened by silence. 9500 Liberty is both an inspiration and a warning.”

If I hadn’t documented the process by which extremists took over the government in Prince William County, VA, I wouldn’t have started the Coffee Party. The truth is, we are all vulnerable to extremist tactics — at all levels of government. This is a loophole in our democratic process. The way to close this loophole is this: 1) Get Information out 2) Build a sense of community by creating a place where people can meet — both face-to-face and online 3) Show up and participate.

In short: Information, Community, Participation.

The brave citizens of Prince William County — Republicans, Democrats, religious leaders, business leaders, and stay-at-home moms — managed to achieve this in order to win control of their government. The process is documented in 9500 Liberty, and written about in today’s review.

Every week, Vernon Thornsburry loads his bicycle with bag of Jittery Joe’s coffee beans. He has been doing it for more than a decade now. Instead of using a car to make deliveries to local customers, he uses an old-fashioned bike. His favorite part of the job does not involve delivering the Coffee though.

“9500 Liberty” is the documentary film directed by Coffee Party founders Annabel Park & Eric Byler, a direct precursor to the Coffee Party. “9500 Liberty” will be shown on the MTV Networks starting with a premiere event on Sept. 26th, 2010 at 8 PM ET/PT. Annabel Park and Eric Byler will be hosting a webcast premiere party from the Coffee Party Convention in Louisville, KY.

“9500 Liberty” tells the story of the only time in American history where an SB 1070 style law (written by the same anti-immigration lobbying firm that wrote SB 1070) was actually put into effect. For 2 months in early 2008, Prince William County implemented a law that required police to check the immigration status of its residents based on a subjective standard of suspicion. The measure was repealed by unanimous vote after the economic, legal, fiscal and public safety implications of the law became apparent.

This interview was conducted by Chuck Alton for Cochise Talk in Bisbee, Arizona.
