THIS IS VERY GOOD NEWS

The Koch Brothers, ALEC and other conservative groups have been feasting at the state & local levels for years without any real response from Democrats or liberals.
Wealthy donors on left launch new plan to wrest back control in the states

SAN FRANCISCO — A cadre of wealthy liberal donors aims to pour tens of millions of dollars into rebuilding the left’s political might in the states, racing to catch up with a decades-old conservative effort that has reshaped statehouses across the country.

The plan embraced by the Democracy Alliance, an organization that advises some of the Democrats’ top contributors, puts an urgent new focus on financing groups that can help the party regain influence in time for the next congressional redistricting process, after the 2020 elections. The blueprint approved by the alliance board calls on donors to help expand state-level organizing and lobbying for measures addressing climate change, voting rights and economic inequality.

The five-year initiative, called 2020 Vision, will be discussed this week at a private conference being held at a San Francisco hotel for donors who participate in the Democracy Alliance. Leading California Democrats are scheduled to make appearances, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Attorney General Kamala Harris.

Soros influence however guarantees a liberal interventionist Imperialist anti-Russian foreign policy.

With Putin in charge, that may not be a bad approach.

Putin is not the problem.
