Democracy for America website and blog
In a few weeks we will host, in conjunction with 21st Century Democrats, our first of many campaign trainings -- teaching the techniques of organizing, developing, and executing comprehensive campaign plans. Our goal is to recruit and train as many people as possible. We will teach them campaign and grassroots organizing techniques and place them with progressive-minded candidates who will fight for our values. You can make it happen -- contribute now:
http://www.democracyforamerica.com/contributeOur goal is to provide these trainings to every DFA-related organization willing to help us organize them locally. We will work to ensure that all interested parties receive this training -- especially those who might not otherwise be able to afford it. The success of nearly every campaign -- whether it's a local city council race or for the U.S. Senate -- is determined by its ability to execute an effective campaign strategy. With your help, we will provide the tools and resources to empower these campaigns to be successful:
Your contributions will also send Governor Dean around the country campaigning on behalf of local candidates who stand up for what's right. During his travels Governor Dean will continue to meet with the local grassroots groups like Latinos for America, whom he spoke with last week in Los Angeles.
We will work not only to rebuild but to attract new grassroots supporters -- Americans who want our country back. We will empower the grassroots by expanding and improving the Project Commons area on the website, assembling an effective "campaign in a box" organizing kit, revitalizing Democracy for America's Meetups, and improving communication channels with supporters.
These projects and others will be the nuts and bolts of our movement -- and we must build them together. Please contribute today:
The primary goal of Democracy for America is to build a long-term plan to elect progressive-minded individuals at every level. Success begins today by planning for elections that are 6 or 8 years away. Together, we are building a movement in the common interest -- and it will require resources that Democracy for America does not currently have.
Governor Dean continues to have a powerful, important voice in America, and we must ensure that his voice continues to be heard. I am excited to work with you to make it happen.
Thank you.
