I'd like to test the water to see if there is support for a Populist Reform Group on DU.
A potential Statement of Purpose:

We have a great reservoir of talent and experience on DU. I'd like a safe environment where we can collectively define, discuss, and debate progressive populism.

Your statement of purpose is fine; I would go with either Activism or Democrats as a topic heading

Hm...I'd probably choose activism, but my second choice would be Democrats.
