Democracy for America needs our help. Please help Dean, if you can.
Howard Dean has been a terrific advocate for our Democratic ticket. Let's help him out with his PAC.

From an email I received today from Democracy for America:

This Thursday we will file an end-of-quarter report with the Federal Election Commission--but I wanted to report to you first. This is your organization, your vehicle for change--and here is a brief recap of what you have accomplished.

By Thursday we will have:

-- Written checks totaling more than half a million dollars directly to over 350 fiscally responsible, socially progressive candidates who stand up for what they believe in

-- Channeled over a million dollars in contributions to candidates like John Kerry, Tom Daschle and Joe Hoeffel by asking you to contribute directly to them

-- Trained over 2,000 organizers in 22 sessions held around the country

-- Sent Governor Dean to nearly every state in the union where he has given hundreds of speeches on behalf of good candidates running for every level of office

Against the odds and with a lot of insiders counting you out, you have created the biggest leadership PAC in American politics. And as you can see, we are throwing our weight around.

Now, a challenge: we can still write checks to candidates for another $200,000 before Thursday. This money will make a difference in crucial races across the country. But we need another $100,000 to do it.

That could be more than $200,000 this week alone--please consider a last-minute contribution of whatever you can afford right now:

Every dollar will make a difference, and every dollar will go directly to candidates. Those who contribute for this deadline drive will receive a special update just after the deadline passes.

2. Thank you for giving up your lunch for DFA.
It is all the more admirable as it is your first contribution to Dean.

8. Wish we had publically financed elections in this country
I hate that we have to worry about the GOP out-spending progressives and therefore buying their way into office. x(
