C-SPAN and CPAC

Does it seem like every time you turn on C-SPAN, the Conservatives (Republicans) have some special gathering going on? If it's not CPAC, it's the AEI, or the NRA, or the annual Tea Party gathering, or some other right-wing shindig?

I realize that Democrats are broadcast on C-SPAN also, but it seems they have many less groups than the right-wingers? Or is it just my imagination?

I wondered if there is a P(Progressive)PAC or D(Democrat)PAC or any such large gatherings of liberals/progressives/democrats.

While they're doing all that strident posturing and yammering about the stuff they claim to care about, we're out there actually working on the things we believe in.

They make noise. We make progress.
