This week in San Francisco George Soros gathered with Peter Lewis and Herb and Marion Sandler to pledge millions of dollars to organize a Democratic infrastructure of think tanks that will develop long-term strategies to counter the right wing power structure. This is just what we have needed and what Lakoff has called for. We need our own institutions like the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute to coordinate and desseminate our message and serve as a launching pad for our future leaders. At last, we'll have a start in battling the neocon juggernaut.
I only hope that our think tanks coordinate with what has grown up here on blogs like DKos and the DFA meetups.
What do you think we should encourage Soros and his friends to invest in? What do you think the best use for the money will be?
