Interesting website: A Brand New Congress!

http://brandnewcongress.org

Wouldn't it be nice to completely OVERTURN congress, empty its contents, and bring in a new batch? ...

Yeah, it's a pipe dream, but it should be a long term goal ...

America needs an honest, accountable Congress to enact Bernie's program. But trying to win each Congressional seat one-by-one is impossible. So let's run one national campaign to replace Congress all at once that whips up the same enthusiasm, volunteerism and money as Bernie's presidential campaign.

We're building on the tools, tactics and networks that we developed together on Bernie's campaign. But to pull this off, the volunteer movement will have to wield more power and resources than on any campaign before. This means volunteers on the ground will run their own offices and voter contact operations, and will have access to all necessary tools and materials from the start. Get ready for the most beautiful campaign ever.
