Bloggers and Unions Join Forces to Push Democrats to Left

[marybourg]

From the NYT —

A group of liberal bloggers said it was teaming up with organized labor and MoveOn.org to form a political action committee that would seek to push the Democratic Party further to the left.

--snip--
The formation of the group is another step in the evolution of the blogosphere, which has proven effective at motivating party activists to give money and time to political campaigns, especially in local races.

But it also illuminates a deepening wrinkle for President Obama, whose attempt to build a broad governing coalition — often by tempering some of his more liberal positions — has already angered some of his supporters on the left.

8. I'm Pushing....I'm PUSHING!

Collectively, we have the power to turn this country to The Left.

We ARE The Majority!.

If you Work for a Living, do NOT send money to the DSCC or the DCCC.
They will use your money against you by recruiting conservative Blue Dogs and financing their campaigns in the Democratic Primaries.

I am delighted that this group of Republicans inside the Democratic Party is finally being held accountable.
I credit the Grass Roots and the InterNet Tubes.

Melissa Bean is one of the WORST offenders.
The Left should organize a Nationwide campaign to support and finance a real Democrat to run against her in the Democratic Primary.

If we pick one or two examples of fake Democrats who support the agenda of The Rich at the expense of Labor and the Poor, and focus our collective national power on them, we can send a strong message to the rest.
We ARE watching....AND taking names!

"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans. I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans, family farmers, and people who haven't felt the benefits of the economic upturn."---Paul Wellstone
