I'll be attending Netroots Nation on 6/20-23 with those of like minded thrity and 20 somethings people, who share our views. Our struggles haven't changed and are similar to the younger generations. There will be congressional people attending and candidates that we back, with action and money. Dr.Howard Dean will be one of our keynote speakers this year.
The disappointing thing about electing progressive candidates is, some, not all, soon become infected with the DC ailment in the name of follow the leader and vote the way the caucus wants them to, but thats how we got Elizabeth Warren, through grass roots organizing and we were able to beat Scott Brown, and boy was he an ass!
I encourage you to attend if you can, NetrootsNation13.com their agenda is online and while you are at it, check out DailyKos.com a progressive site, of the same young folks putting on the NN13.
