2. Culling
Culling from those who look like dems but in reality they are 'pubs in disguise. Rid those spineless from those that have a spine--the ones who WILL speak and will speak FOR US THE VOTERS. You often feel like a spectator in the cheap seats waving at them with a tattered flag shouting "Yoo Hoo, remember me, the neglected voter--the one that helped get you in office but now you have a memory loss about who you are,who WE are and what you are getting paid to do."

4. There are several thousand active members here. If we choose something and DO it,
it will be noticed and make a difference. If we keep doing it, it will continue to grow.

We've voted as is mandatory. What grass roots or even media concept can be enacted and maintained?

5. Campaign finance reform.

Top Priority: Gay Rights. You want to lose some of this bad Karma, stop treating gays like they are a political liability.

Next: Jobs and the Economy.

Then: Campaign Finance and Lobbying Reform. Get corporations out of politics..

9. Contact the progressive caucus and tell them we lost
so there is no reason to compromise. Do not do damage to the progressive voters.
