What Do We Do When We Win?
Posted by Raven on June 7, 2012 in NN12

As we kick off Netroots Nation 2012, we have some progressive wins to celebrate: halting Keystone XL, defeating SOPA/PIPA and a nasty anti-union bill in Ohio, changing the economic conversation in the country and gaining advances on marriage equality, to name a few. But throughout the past year, we’ve also witnessed some aggressive and reckless conservative attacks on the middle class, immigrants, women and voters as a whole. You’ll find many of these issues addressed throughout our programming this year.

Heading into the 2012 election cycle, the stakes are higher than ever. Conservatives aren’t going to back down, so there are real consequences in every race, from the Presidential all the way down the ticket. And while we may still have to play defense, we need to be more proactive about taking the offensive position...


There's a lot more to just that one page at this link, I think they're Democrats, too:

They seem to be for everything that DU is working for, what do you think?

I think this is an opportunity for like minded people to get together and discuss ways of reaching common goals.

I think it's a very positive thing.
