“We are building the greatest grassroots campaign of the modern era,” said Campaign Manager Joe Trippi. “These supporters are not only donating money, they’re flyering in their neighborhoods and collecting signatures for ballot access, they’re engaged in a way they never have been before. This is people-powered Howard.”
