After disastrous midterm elections for Democrats, some progressives are looking to reboot the party by injecting it with fresh big ideas and already have secured the backing of powerful party leaders in their effort.
The 1 million-member Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) on Wednesday rolled out its Big Ideas Project, an initiative which calls on all Americans to submit issues that they think should be at the forefront of the national conversation heading into the 2016 elections.
Twenty-nine lawmakers, including outgoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and progressive darling Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, have agreed to seriously consider the ideas and possibly incorporate them into new legislation.
The campaign comes after many progressives called out President Obama and other party leaders and claimed they failed to articulate a clear agenda before the 2014 elections, which resulted in devastating defeats for Democrats, including the loss of the Senate.
Democrats lost in 2014 because they failed to inspire Americans with bold ideas that would tangibly improve peoples lives. Since the election, weve been calling on Democratic leadership to remold their party as the party of big ideas especially bold, economic populist ideas like those Elizabeth Warren champions, said Stephanie Taylor, PCCC co-founder.
The organization will accept ideas through the end of December. After that, the PCCC says it will conduct polling and identify the 20 most popular policy suggestions and those will be submitted to Mr. Reid, Ms. Warren and other lawmakers for review.
Thus far, the submitted ideas include: automatic voter registration; demilitarizing police forces nationwide; ending secret grand juries for police prosecutions; national broadband; discharging student loan debt; single-payer healthcare; a financial transaction tax on Wall Street; and others.
In addition to Mr. Reid and Ms. Warren, other Democrats who have signed on to the initiative include: Sen. Jon Tester of Montana; Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York; Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota; Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota; Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida; Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas; and others.
Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont also has signed on.

Liberals seek to reboot Democratic party with 'Big Ideas Project'
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Head of State, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.)
The national convention of the All Progressives Congress begins in Lagos, Nigerias commercial nerve centre, today (Wednesday).
The presidential candidate of the party will emerge tomorrow (Thursday).
More than 8,000 accredited delegates are expected to elect the partys presidential flag bearer who is to face President Goodluck Jonathan, the sole candidate of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, in the 2015 general elections.
Five aspirants are ex-Head of State, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari; a former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar; Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso; Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, and the Publisher of Leadership Newspaper, Mr. Sam Nda-Isaiah. They are all vying for the partys sole ticket.
Already, supporters of Buhari and Atiku, the two leading aspirants, have appealed to the APC delegates to vote wisely.
Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso
Buharis supporters, under the aegis of Buhari Friends Organisation Network, at a press briefing in Abuja on Tuesday, said todays (Wednesdays) APCs primaries offered a unique opportunity for party delegates to vote for change.
The spokesman for the group, St. Athanasius Okon, said Nigerians have not had it so bad since the return of democracy in 1999.
According to him, the nations economy is in a shambles while the ruling party carries on as if nothing is amiss.

APC presidential candidate emerges tomorrow
Publicity Secretary of the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, Mr. Joe Igbokwe
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress says it will not congratulate the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, because the events that led to his victory were allegedly dubious.
The publicity secretary of the party, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, said the PDP was a party of hypocrites because they were doing the same thing they had accused the APC of doing in the past.
The APC wondered how the number of votes could exceed the number of delegates that voted at the primary on Monday.
The APC said it was unfortunate that the PDP could not properly conduct a primary of less than 1,000 delegates when it (APC) successfully conducted a primary that had over 5,000 delegates in attendance last week.
It said the PDP had shown that it was not democratic as it went ahead to impose Agbaje despite the fact that another aspirant, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, had been making allegations about the plan for over a month.
The APC said, We cannot congratulate Agbaje yet because there is still infighting. The circumstances that led to the emergence of Agbaje were illegitimate and as a democratic party we will not encourage such by congratulating him.
You see how clear it was with our candidate, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode. The body language of the PDP leaders had shown that they were supporting Agbaje and they went ahead to perpetrate fraud just as Obanikoro had predicted.
When asked if the APC would be willing to receive Obanikoro if he defected from the PDP, the party said, Obanikoro knows the best step that will favour him. If he feels his 10 years away from our party is regretful, he is free to return, we cannot reject him.
In a later statement, the party also welcomed the over 8,000 delegates from all over the country that would participate in the presidential primary of the party on Wednesday (today).

Why we cant congratulate Agbaje APC
One of the candidates in the just conducted All Progressives Congress governorship primary in Lagos state, Mr. Tayo Ayinde, has attributed the victory of the eventual winner of the election, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, to aggressive campaign and intra-party popularity.
Ayinde, therefore, congratulated Ambode and pledged to support him as the party prepared for the February 2015 governorship polls.
His position was contained in a statement credited to his campaign organisations director of media and publicity, Peter Ajayi.
The statement read partly, As one of the contestants in the just conducted All Progressives Congress primary, I, Tayo Akinmade Ayinde, wish to congratulate Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode for his victory at the party primary.
His rigorous campaign activities, hard work and popularity within the party have been rewarded with a landslide victory.
As a loyalist of the APC, the victory of one of us, is victory for all. I shall continue to work for the interest of our party.
Ayinde was also reported to have thanked the national leader of the party, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, for providing what he described as an enabling environment and level playing ground for all of us.
He said, You (Tinubu) are a mentor and father of all. We shall continue to work with you for the interest and development of our great party and Nigeria.
While commending all the delegates who participated in the primary, Ayinde urged for unity in preparation for the February 2015 election.
He said, To all the members of the APC, the work has just started. What we just witnessed was an election within the party. The hurdle ahead is to win all elective positions in February, 2015. To achieve this, all hands must be on deck. All campaign structures should be collapsed into a more formidable one.
