I wonder if we can get a mass conglomerate of

true progressives that band together to put the fire under the democrats we elected. I do trust them but think it is a good idea to push them to do the things the people want. Self interest should have to be about the right thing not the thing the guy with the most clout tells us is important. I know we have many effective groups and organizations but can we merge them on national level? Most of these have a few things they focus on so they should. I think it would bring back a sense at least of progressive community.

What do you guys think?

I still say that someone has to form one for just that purpose and for Democrats in their 2014 bid.

This way, they can keep hammering on the issues that are important. There is no other way to ask Republicans in the House or Senate to work with the Democrats, as they are shameless.

So, sure, I wouldn't mind such a thing.
