Howard Dean: he has 1/4 million people signed up for his campaign!

**I find this incredible...... Dean has 282,000+ people signed up for his campaign. (like 83,000+ in the meetups). 30,000 people signed up LAST WEEK.

**I watched some of Newt Grinch's interview with Charlie Rose tonight. Newt, being his regular academic self, weighed in the Dean factor and non-chalantly stated that "unless Dean stops bashing Bush and stops talking about all that anit-war stuff, Dean is sunk." Newt is so transparent! I think we are hittin' a nerve!!!!!!!

Letter from Dean:

Last week, an incredible 30,565 Americans signed up for the Dean campaign-- and today you stand with more than 282,300 Americans, united in our effort to take our country back.

I want to thank you. While we were on the covers of Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News last week, the growth and energy of our campaign has come from your efforts-- from Americans talking with each other about the future of our country.

Let's widen the circle. Our goal is to have 450,000 Americans supporting the Dean campaign by September 30th. From day one, when we were an asterisk in the polls, this campaign has been built by word of mouth. I need you to continue reaching out-- to join thousands of other Americans who are speaking with their friends, their colleagues and their coworkers about our efforts to restore the American community. Please forward this email on to your friends, and ask them to join us by clicking on this link:

While George Bush is on vacation this month, millions of Americans are having a sleepless summer, worrying about the more than 3 million jobs lost under this President, and about their own economic future. We are going to defeat George W. Bush so that we can put an end to his reckless economic policies. We are going to roll back his irresponsible tax cuts so that we can have health care for every American, funding for our public schools, and true homeland security. And we will again have a foreign policy that is consistent with American values.

As part of our effort to spread the word about our campaign, we'll be traveling to 8 cities in 4 days as part of our "Sleepless Summer Tour," beginning August 23rd. If you are near one of the cities we'll be visiting, please sign up below-- and tell your friends who may live nearby to come out and join us. Find out more by clicking here:

At the end of June, more than 73,000 Americans came together and raised more than $7.6 million dollars for our campaign. That demonstration of the power grassroots shook this race to its very core-- but the race is not over, and we have a ways to go. With your help, we will achieve our goal of 450,000 supporters by September 30th-- and we will demonstrate to the press and the rest of the nation that the American people truly have the power to take on the special interests that are funding George Bush's reelection campaign.

The stakes have never been higher. So please, continue to reach out and enlist people in our cause by forwarding this email or this link:

I appreciate everything that you have done for our campaign. The real story last week was not that we were on the covers of three newsmagazines-- the real story was that you put us there, and that you helped bring more than 30,000 Americans to our campaign in a single week. Our momentum is incredible. Let's keep spreading the word, and together we will win back the White House in 2004.
