Dean's money machine to fight Schwarzenegger
Financial war ahead over special election


A liberal grassroots network that helped fuel Howard Dean's maverick run for president is crackling back to life to fight Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's ballot initiative drive, another sign that the governor's plans for a special election this year could produce a costly and fiercely partisan battle.

California for Democracy, the state arm of a national group that raised millions of dollars for Dean over the Internet, is planning a high-tech campaign targeting the Republican governor, who wraps up an out-of-state fund- raising tour in Washington today.

The group's re-emergence came as a committee closely aligned with Schwarzenegger began running television advertisements Monday urging voters to seek out signature-gatherers and sign up.

But volunteers from California for Democracy hope to frustrate those efforts. They plan to use the Web and mobile technology to keep roughly 9,000 supporters abreast of the whereabouts of signature-gatherers for Schwarzenegger ballot initiatives. Organizers say volunteers will then head to those locations to distribute the group's leaflets denouncing the planned special election, which opponents note will cost as much as $70 million.

The group is also poised to raise money to oppose the governor's agenda.

2. Good. That smug bastard was on the Today Show this a.m.
Man of Da People! For once I applaud Campbell Brown for at least attempting to conduct a serious interview with this Nazi. He was railing against special interest money and she nailed him on the fact that he attends fundraisers and takes money from these people. He thought he was being cute by calling her "confused".

Rage On Dr. Dean!

6. This is terrific, however we need to be mobilizing and canvassing with
this information. We need to be meeting people face to face on this one at malls, farmers markets, neighborhoods, etc.
