We have to help these victims of political party abuse to become strong enough to face their abusers. To take them to task, to take them to court, to do the right thing. BUt this is not easy. We on the left must start a conversation about how to do it. Don't depend on the Democrat party. But it will take a village and probably a serious, concerted effort by numerous progressive policy advocacy think tanks. Too bad there are only one or two and they are underfunded.

The right wing has spent BILLIONS on policy promotion think tanks. The left must develop them. It's the only way the left will take back not only the congress and the whitehouse, but the high road, the democratic party (which is spineless, leaderless and visionless as currently led by the weak, republican-lite republicrat DLC cavers. I call them cavers because they are taking the Democratic party DOWN.)

Here are some articles I've written in the past on the need for policy promotion think tanks. Anyone have a few million to help me get one started?
