Not sure how this will be organized
But I truly loved the idea of us putting ourselves out there as a thinktank.
I would like to see the issues of our party divided into groups:
Womens Reproductive Rights
Gay Rights
Nationalized Healthcare
Verified Voting
etc.
All broken down and committees formed on each--with someone put in charge of each faction. That way, all topics would be covered, actions taken on each, and everyone would have a choice to do what they were passionate about.
Would love to have each committee start working with Dean and our congress critters very closely to help develop a "Democratic Plan for America".

2. Organization is the hard part
but this is a good idea. I think we need to consider methods of voter outreach--countering the RW arguments in particular.

Changing the dialogue. Countering their talking points.

4. I agree
It would make it easier if it were organized by issues or maybe by petitions, LTTE's, events, etc.

If we want people to work together then the issues way would be a way for people with the same interests to connect and work together.
