Urgent Message to Progressives: Infiltrate Your Local Democratic Party Before It’s Too Late | Common Dreams

1. This is an opinion piece I stumbled upon recently and felt the need to shout about it from the rooftops. I don’t claim to know how feasible something like this would be but raising what is essentially a reverse Tea Party that is forwarded by progressives and activists seems really interesting and a potentially legal way for the average US citizen to have a larger voice.

   >If progressives hope to have any shot at influencing today’s Democratic Party and kicking out the corporate sellout Democrats and replacing them with real-deal progressives, then we need to get to work right now to do exactly what the Tea Party did a decade and a half ago to take power.<

   Would it be feasible to organize groups that could support people into the position proposed by the article?

   >It’s Precinct Committee Persons who elect district, county, and state party officials and delegates, who choose primary nominees that then go on to hold elected office, and who help draft a party’s platform. <

   >They’re also generally the first people who elected officials meet with when they come back into the district. And those officials listen carefully to what Precinct Committee persons have to say. <

   I’m tired of seeing my country attempting to stop any and all conservation and environmentalism, I think this is another course of action that needs to be taken in addition to everything we’re already doing
