In his usual practical manner, Howard Dean lays it on the line. He tell us how much the DNC needs, and he tells us where it will be going. Clear, pragmatic, building from the grassroots.
In the history of our nation, no group of lawmakers has dodged its responsibility to the American people more than the current Republican Congress.
Instead of doing the people’s business, the Republican majority on Capitol Hill operates in a secretive culture of corruption that lets special interests and right-wing lobbyists write our laws in backrooms and behind closed doors. There’s no accountability, no oversight, and the American people are paying the price for a Republican majority only concerned with expanding its political power.
With control of the House, Senate and a number of key governorships up for grabs, I don’t need to tell you what’s at stake in the November elections.
We cannot wait. Already organizers are on the ground in states working towards building a permanent Democratic infrastructure. At the same time, we cannot let an opportunity like the 2006 elections slip by.
Help take back Congress in 2006. Make a contribution to the DNC now by visiting:
When voters head to the polls they will decide whether our nation continues to pursue the extreme, right-wing agenda of the Bush Republicans, or chooses principled, Democratic leadership that will make us strong and safe at home and a respected voice for freedom around the world. That said, it’s no secret the American people are tired of and worried about the Republican culture of corruption now rampant in Washington.
All the signs point to this being a big election year for Democrats. But if we want to win in November, we’ve got to fight for our victories by taking our message into communities all across America and by mobilizing millions of voters who will surge to the polls and support Democrats running at every level of government.
Our Party can’t afford to wait until the final months of the 2006 campaign and hope for a burst of energy to carry us to victory. Starting right now – and with your help – we’ve got to work every day in every state to tell voters about our Democratic values and our vision for America.
Support the Democratic Party’s 2006 efforts by visiting:
$8,000,000 is the minimum we need to raise so that we have the necessary resources to:
Conduct ongoing grassroots trainings for Democratic precinct captains who are essential to building our Party’s strength on the ground.
Support the work of Democratic Party field organizers making sure they are on the ground early in critical precincts.
Run phone banks so we can locate and mobilize Democratic and independent voters that are critical to our success on Election Day.
Train canvassers who will take our Party’s message right to voters’ doorsteps.
Support these efforts:
State-by-state, precinct-by-precinct, door-by-door, vote-by-vote, we are going to take this country back for the working Americans who built it.
Thank you,
Governor Howard Dean M.D.
Thanks for hanging in there, Governor. Thanks for trying to make the party more inclusive.
