What next?

3. We would have to get into the "NetRoots Nation" Group & Power Brokers

that have evolved since 2004. We on the Left used to own much the Net back in the Salad Days. "Media Whores Online, Bart Cop...a few others and then Democratic Underground, Daily Kos, Firedoglake, (The Scooter Libby Trial Reports) and others who sprung up like "Crooks & Liars and Talking Points Memo." Individual Single Bloggers who had big readership were also influentials---too many to name.

But....we "Populist/Progressive/Activists don't own the Net anymore. The PTB do and the few Progressive Sites struggle for money.

We Could:

Write a Diary in Daily Kos about goals of a New Populist/Progressive Movement Forming? Flood Josh Marshall's TPM with Progressive Posts? Use "Twitter" to Recommend Articles from people that we feel are in sympathy with us so that they get attention?

Set up a "FaceBook Page" where we post articles under whatever our positive new Name (for the Rump Dissenters of the Dem Party) ends up being? Or whatever new sites that young people go when they are sick of "FB?"

As Far as Candidates Go:

Firedoglake tried with ACT BLUE...and it's still around. Maybe work with them to identify who is going to fight as a Dem and start supporting them. Or, Adam Green's Group PCCC who managed to get people elected this Mid-Term.

Start "Meet Ups" (like Howard Dean initiated} by joining your State/Local Progressive Group and get them energized.

The MEDIA effort is the most important, imho.. for now.
