    I think this endorsement by Buckley helps Ellison get close to locking it up. Victory will be a big win for the Sanders faction over the establishment.

    Sent the following to the Ellison campaign and posted it on my facebook page. I was thanked very graciously and asked to reach out to our state delegation personally. I talked to each delegate by phone and some in person and urge all of your readers to do the same.

    I have decided to formally endorse Keith Ellison for Chair of the DNC (Keith for DNC). The Democratic Party can no longer support the status-quo of passive resistance while offering no help to the average American and the downtrodden. The current party leadership failed to support almost all of Senator Sander’s and the progressive proposals that would have combatted the corporate greed and insensitivity of the wealthy towards the plight of the middle class. The current party leadership has consistently displayed an unwillingness to separate itself from the well-heeled special interests and corporate banking interests that are responsible for the instability in the economy and could lead a disastrous return to financial failures which will further hurt the working class and America’s stature. This appearance and reality of subservience by the current Democratic leadership to the dictatorial ambitions of the Trump Administration can only result in a total and unconditional surrender of civil rights and a furtherance of intolerance, hatred, and bigotry. Congressman Ellison is the right person at the right time to lead our party to a revitalization of its moral obligations. I urge you all to support him.

    Respectfully,

    State Representative John Kowalko (25th District)

    New progressive PACs warn Democrats to oppose Trump — or get primaried
    By David Weigel February 16

    Last April, working the rope line after a campaign visit to Pittsburgh, Hillary Clinton stretched out her hand to greet Yong Jung Cho. The Democratic presidential candidate was walking into a familiar ambush — a shouted question from a climate change activist, with a camera set to record.

    “Will you reject money from registered fracking lobbyists?” asked Cho, who was working with the anti-fracking group 350 Action.

    Clinton laughed. “Go read the articles!” she said. “I’ve debunked all of that.”

    Clinton went on to win the Pennsylvania primary, and the Democratic nomination, and Cho went on to co-found We Will Replace You, a new PAC that’s warning Democrats of primary challenges if they don’t fight President Trump everywhere they can. Among the group’s demands: opposing “all Trump appointees” and “all of Trump’s legislative priorities”; “sing Congressional processes and rules of order to systematically bring all business to a crawl”; and “publicly supporting impeachment if Trump is found to have broken the law or violated the Constitution.”

    “We were not happy to see some Democrats vote for so many of Trump’s appointees,” said Claire Sandberg, a co-founder of the group and the digital organizing director for Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-Vt.) 2016 presidential bid. “Seeing two Democratic senators vote for Rex Tillerson was absolutely appalling. Seeing 14 vote for Mike Pompeo was absolutely appalling. It seemed that Democrats in Congress were not getting the message,” Sandberg said, referring to Trump’s secretary of state and CIA chief.

    There’s more at the original, but it sounds like an organization y’all might like.

    “New progressive PACs warn Democrats to oppose Trump — or get primaried”

    The Tea Party’s greatest success came from protesting their own party. This is what is missing from the Indivisible guide.

    Still waiting for the Democrats’ Frank Luntz.

    What is with the term “Indivisible guide”? Yuck.
