Democrats for Americas Future (passed along by Jim Hightower)
http://www.americasdemocrats.org/

WHO WE ARE

Democrats for America’s Future is all about getting everyday Democrats involved in returning our party to its roots… and to success at the ballot box. We aren’t an arm of the national party organization. That means we don’t have to back every politician who claims to be a Democrat, just because there is a “D” next to his or her name.
WHAT WE DO

We recruit grassroots Democrats across the country and provide them with up-to-date information on which Democrats are standing up for our principles and need our help. We push Democratic leaders to stand up to right-wing ideologues. We educate the public about the decisions being made in their names. Through our Democrats for America’s Future Campaign Fund, we work to elect Democrats who will stand up for Democratic principles.

1. Clearly an organization that must be stopped
"We don't have to back every politician who claims to be a Democrat." Heresy! No true Scotsman fallacy! Undermining the party! They're naive! They're supporting principles to the detriment of real world action! "Winning" as situationally defined is far more important than standing up to right-wing ideologues!

PH34R!

2. I'm all for it!
Grayson and Sanders are starting informal movements as well - I do hope there is cross fertilization.
