Have you seen the Democracy Awakening page??? it is.......wow.

[dixiegrrrrl]

It shows who all the affiliated organizations are.
I was heartened to see there are so very very many of them.

Anyone got good links to the news coverage of their continuing protest at the Capitol?????????

Now that was unbelievable! See what happens when people put their heads together? Don't have a link. If I can find one, I'll come back and post for you.

[persuadable]

20. The only problem is: I see no Tea party groups

Many of them are as upset with Citizen United as we are. Until we can join with them on this one issue, nothing will change.

[snot]

25. The kochs did't wwant to pay to bus them in?

[Fantastic Anarchist]

27. They're busy hating minorities and complaining about taxes.

[ReRe]

43. Huh?

I have no wish to associate myself with Tea Party groups. Look around on some republican websites. Maybe you'll find some there.

I looked over the supporting groups and couldn't find one that I would hesitate to be allied with.
It is very heartening (especially as the two camps continue to up the hostilities towards each other here on DU) to see such a broad-based coalition. Makes me realize we really do have far more in common that this primary season seems to indicate.

5. I recommend following

them on Twitter, if you have an account. Twitter handle is @DemAwakening

[starroute]

19. The #DemocracyAwakens hashtag on Twitter is also good

Here's a link -- and you don't need to be a Twitter member. This link gives you the most retweeted items. If you click Live in the navigation bar, you get the latest tweets in reverse order.

8. woo hoo!!

I did not know there were all these organizations!! WOW I am encouraged.

[classykaren]

39. Just read on Huffington. Ben and Jerry were arrested.

[PufPuf23]

9. Nice. Thank you. kr

[dgibby]

10. Thanks so much.

They have a Facebook page. Just signed up. This is great!

[geardaddy]

12. That is awesome!

Thanks for posting!

[jwirr]

13. Thank you. When I read my email I have often seen a lot of

those logos but did not know if they could be trusted - which side of this fight they were on - corporate or the people. This will make a lot of difference.

[SoapBox]

14. Wow...lots of groups.

However...the one that made me wonder...Daily Kos.

17. Tuesday in NY is "Independents Bring a Friend Day", a democratic who wasn't going to vote anyway

Lets get the message out. Especially in colleges.
Independents can bring a friend to vote, encourage them to come with you.
They are much more likely to vote for Bernie.
Help them to vote by taking them to the voting station.

INDEPENDENTS BRING A FRIEND DAY

[Rafale]

18. Only place to get good coverage has been

Twitter. Otherwise the news is getting the same treatment/suppression/spin-cycle as the Occupy Movement did.

[dixiegrrrrl]

21. Which is why I think dumping cable news is so important.

We pay for tv news, they do not deliver.
Major reason we cut the cord here.

[certainot]

22. as far as protests go, here are 90 universities that

would be great places to protest.

once a few of them are pushed into ending their endorsements of and support for rw radio others would follow, it would fall apart and advertisers fled, many of the goals those orgs struggle against would be a lot easier to achieve, and dems could easily get supermajorities

at a cheap $1000/hr x 15hrs/day x 1200 stations, rw talk radio is worth 4.68 BIL$/ year or 390MIL$ /month FREE for pro republican wall st think tank propaganda and swiftboating working against those goals

24. This looks really great -- but I have a few quibbles.

Am familiar with most of the groups and a supporter of several, BUT there are at least a couple on there who have endorsed the corporate-funded candidate.

These two stood out for me:

NOW -- http://nowpac.org/hillary-clinton-2016/ (I understand that they would choose a woman, even if she is a conservative and highly corporate.)

SEIU -- http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/17/politics/hillary-clinton-seiu-endorsement-2016/ (Again, union leadership often chooses the politically powerful candidate while membership chooses the friend of working people.)

This might be okay for the Democracy Awakening's purposes, but I think people should at least be aware of it.

[gregcrawford]

26. Impressive list of member organizations. Thanks for the heads-up.

[Kablooie]

28. Quite a lot but the last was "Young People For S&M"... Not sure about that one.

[Pacifist Patriot]

37. LOL!

My son goes to FSU and Andrew Gillum is from Tallahassee, but I'm not sure if he is still there now. I keep telling the boy he needs to find out if he can meet Mr. Gillum at some point. I think he would really enjoy, and get a lot out of, a YP4 fellowship.

30. Thank you, dixiegrrrrl!

I just checked it out!

One thing is for sure... No coverage of Bernie Sanders and this, lots of shit on the boob tube.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

31. Good find, dixiegrrrl

Really quite impressive...gives me hope.

[dixiegrrrrl]

33. They just broke a record for mass arrests today...1.4 thousand were arrested.

saw it on Facebook.

Twitter and Facebook are really good sources of what the MSM will not tell us.

35. K&R!!!!

36. Remember when all it took for 24/7 wall to wall coverage

Was two screaming tea baggers swinging Gadsden a flag? Interesting how the media doesn't cover this movement, but two screaming baggers? That's a movement!

[dixiegrrrrl]

42. Yeah....says a lot about media control, doesn't it? n/t

[classykaren]

38. Pleased to see a Granny D group.

[stuntcat]

40. even the Rebel Alliance!?!

41. Bookmarked !

to examine more closely later.
