Could this be a future progressive youth movement around the country?

There only in Florida right now but I hope our side doesn't ignore them and not support them financially.Some of these rich celebrities need to stop being greedy and start getting involved politically and support them also.The Tea Party stayed valuable because they were well funded by Billionaires.One of the greatest mistakes Occupy Wall Street did was not get politically involved in the Progressive movement and had no financial backing http://dreamdefenders.org/

But they do need to know exactly what they are hoping to accomplish and they need to have concrete actions to move towards those goals
