TIme For Grass/Netroots to Start New Party?

Any one who followed this past election cycle knows that the grass/netroots was instrumental in seeing the Democrats into power. Yet, as the power pie is sliced and handed out, once again we are pushed under the table, denied a chair, told to accept the few crumbs that fall our way. The only group getting any real attention from the new Democratic Majority is MoveOn.org who has used our efforts, and our money to become a power player with their own agenda.


Groups like the Daily Kos, DD, Swingstate Project and Move On managed to raise over 17 Million dollars for their candidates, that money coming out of the pockets of the grassroots. This does not count money that many of us gave directly to campaigns, or raised on our own small fund raising pages on the Democratic Web Site. No one has put a value on it, but most of us in the grassroots were out putting up campaign signs, knocking on doors, making phone calls, donating time at campaign headquarters acorss the land, running attack blogs, and putting up attack video's on You Tube...in short, we were the foot soldiers that made this Democratic Victory happen, yet where is OUR PRAISE, where is our seat at the table?


We have almost two full years before 2008, and looking at this reality, looking at how we are always taken for granted, I am wondering if the time has come for us to seriously consider forming a third party? Or, creating some grassroots PAC's to force our own agenda, rather than always supporting someone else's in the hopes that one or two campaign promises will actually be kept. Imagine for a moment a Bloggers PAC, or You Tubers for Change PAC, with all of us tossing our small donations into one big communal pot. Every one LOVES US on the path to election night, but seems we are pushed aside the next morning like a bad hangover, and this might be just what the doctor order to get us the respect we deserve from those we got elected.
