In an earlier diary
Brainstorming Thread it was mentioned in a comment by JamieG from Md that we should start a Dailykos 527 in order to help our candidates.
At first glance it hit me that it was too big a project, but I think that may have been because of my very limited finances so the thought just overwhelmed me. However I am sure that we have among us some who are far better off money wise that may find the idea to have some appeal.
I know that even with my limited amount of funds I would be willing to contribute what I could. I would find that much more appealing than giving my funds to a committee that does not really vet the candidate to see what kind of Democrat they really are.
Remember that many great things started off small.
Follow me below for some more thoughts.
Think about it for a minute and look at what we could do even if our funds were on the modest side.
I do not know anything about the rules for 527s so some of these ideas might not be something we could do but these are some of the thoughts I came up with
1 .. We could perhaps make a difference in replacing a Dino candidate with a true Democrat or Progressive.
2 .. Perhaps we could even have some influence in the general election.
3 .. Perhaps encourage someone new to enter a race where we needed to primary someone.
4 .. Perhaps we could be instrumental in getting some kind of national group of young future Democratic politicians moving.
5 .. There is maybe a possibility that we could at least be able to get some information out to the public which the News Media consistently ignores such as the PNA and how3 it has led us to the mess we are in.
Sorry but my mind is not functioning so great on ideas at the moment. I was sure I could come up with more but my mind has gone blank.
I trust others can add to the list as well as give their thoughts on the idea.
Lets see what we can do with the thought if you think it may be worth while.
