Coalition for Progress(?)

On Saturday, a very well-attended meeting took place where we discussed the formation of a group to address...let's just say "issues." There was a contingent of people who were interested in effecting fundamental local change (myself included), while other people were passionate about, and only want to work toward broader national issues like global warming, abortion, etc., and to have a national impact, rather than a local one. Yet another group of people wanted just to create a think tank. Some people's chief concern was about how the Democratic Party can't seem to match the GOP when it comes to getting its message out. All of the above are noble concerns, goals and issues. Upon adjournment of the meeting, coordinator Mark Poloncarz asked the attendees to submit to him their votes for a name of the group, and their opinions about the type of group and its direction and focus. If you're interested, email Mark Poloncarz.
