into power. In DC (locally) Republicans are pretty much dead, but we have our share of corrupt and/or corporatist Democrats we need to clear out. The fight against Republicans only really happens when we cross over into VA to help out.

But I would love to see more online progressive organizing. A lot of the stuff we've been doing on the ground has relied too much on trial and error, and there's a lot that local activists could learn from more experienced individuals. Also a lot of opportunity to get the word out there that there are people working on these issues for others who might be interested.
