6. I have hope that a Primary can be held by Progressive Groups

if we can get any other candidates to declare they are running. A Dem Progressive Primary and if Hillary wants to attend then fine but if not it goes on without her.

Progressive Movements can get the Funding if they are willing to take the challenge.

"Democracy Now" even organized "Third Party Response" for Candidates in 2012 because they felt there were Candidates voices that were not being heard in the last election. I feel they would be on board for a "Primary for Progressive Democrats" along with "Move On. org", "People for the American Way" and other groups less well known. So, they would probably be on board for "Progressive Primary Debate" and would be a good group to organize it since they have a media following and are connected to the "Nation Institute." It's an idea, anyway.


Here's what Democracy Now did in 2012:

Third Party Candidates to Join in Real Time on Democracy Now!'s Live Coverage of Presidential Debate

As President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney square off in the first presidential debate tonight, Democracy Now! will broadcast live from Denver with a special expanded presidential debate from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. ET. We will air the Obama/Romney debate, pausing after questions to include equal time responses from two presidential contenders who were shut out of the official debate: Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party and Rocky Anderson of the Justice Party.
