If you’ve ever said to yourself, “El Dorado Progressives could do great things!” or “Gee, why don’t these people...” then YOU are a person we need to hear from. We need you to share your ideas, your dreams, your hopes and your energy. We will be conducting a short series of meetings over the next few weeks to brainstorm with people just like you who are eager to see change, but not able to abandon their family or career to pursue. Together, we can move mountains...and political goalposts!

There has been an amazing explosion of membership in El Dorado Progressives. In a mere ten months, we’ve grown from two to over 1,800 Facebook like-minded adults! Our founder, Sean Frame, has been the principal sparkplug that ignited this fire, and he has picked a few people to form a steering committee. But, these few leaders are overwhelmed by the potential we represent. We’re living in a world full of opportunities to make a major and distinct difference but there are so many opportunities we’re overwhelmed. WE NEED YOU to share your dreams and aspirations with us, to help us focus on what we should be doing FIRST, what we should be putting MORE of our effort into, and what we should just leave to others to achieve.

Here’s how it will work:

1) Identify yourself as a thinker and/or a doer. Send a simple email to EDPbrains@gmail.com and give us name, phone number, and best time(s) to call.

2) Someone will call and ask you a few questions, and perhaps recommend a face-to-face meeting. We’re looking for important nuggets of ideas (aka “partly-baked ideas”) that we can collaborate on to evolve.

3) We’ll start a series of meetings, where we will all explore the most exciting, productive, and engaging ideas together, look at the pros and cons of each, and build a list of principles that we will hone into action items.

4) We’ll publish those action items for all the membership to see; begin the process of building the resources needed to implement those ideas; and forge our EDP into the best model of success. This will be our road map to the future. It will be public, it will engage as many members as possible in the implementation and execution, and your best ideas will emerge into the light of day.

Be part of the EDP “revolution.” Send a short message to EDPbrains@gmail.com and let us call you back. Let’s start our baby steps toward rebuilding our democracy together!
