I can no longer sit idly by and do nothing while those we elect ignore the needs of "We The People" and I need your help in whatever manner you are able to offer it.

I figure that today, the 4th of July, is the perfect day to start an organization that's sole purpose is to work for, lobby and agitate on behalf of the American individual. It will focus on ways to directly influence lawmakers to support legislation that will put "We The People" ahead of any corporate or special interest group.

This organization would initially try to sway those in power with "positive reinforcement" and if "positive reinforcement" proves ineffective then it will move on to the more direct techniques, like recruiting candidates to run against those lawmakers that continue to champion corporate interests over the interests of "We The "People".

Here's the problem, We are going to need a LOT of help to get this thing from this "post" to an actual functioning nationwide organization. (yea... I know,  many are already laughing at me but that's OK, just keep reading and post your ideas and what you would like to do IF this actually happens to take off) 

I know that there are some "old pros" that post here on TPM that would know exactly what needed to be done to really jump start this  new political party....uh.... er...  organizing effort.

I know that this is going to be a long hard road to navigate and I hope that many people will take the time to get involved. We need input from as many people as  we can get, we need ideas on how to get this group up and running and we need people that are willing to take on leadership roles in each city, county and state. We need ideas on how to raise money and someone to keep track of it. We need people to organize the ideas and manage the implementation of those ideas.

Again, I realize that a lot of folks are already laughing about this little project and I completely understand how unlikely something like this is to succeed, but I believe that we must at least give it a shot. Because if we don't, those worthless DINOs and heartless Republicans will keep standing up for their corporate masters' and laughing at each and every one of  "U.S." all the way to the bank.

So, I'm asking you to PLEASE, give this some serious consideration and tell us your ideas about what you feel needs to be done to really make this fledgling organization a force in American politics. Also, tell us what you would like to do to help get this "council" off the ground.

The name is not that important, however, I really think that any name needs to include "Middle/Missing", because it's those folks that really need a voice in American politics. But it is up to all those interested in working (and it will be work) to make this "council" a force that MUST be reckoned with.

THANKS, for taking the time to read this far, (bet I lost a lot of people in the first paragraph).   I really hope many, many people will take on this challenge and help create something that will become a permanent force in American politics.

So, you tell me, what's the first step in growing a true political "machine"?

(BTW... if anyone has a problem with my involvement, I will happily get out of the way or do whatever is requested).
