Interesting speech, shows the goals of taking your country back at the lower levels of government.

There were Deaniacs, Keehniacs and Democrats galore in Saratoga Springs last night, Tuesday August 14th, when DFA Chair Jim Dean came to town for a fundraiser to reelect Saratoga Springs Mayor Valerie Keehn.

.."DFA members from at least three different regional groups attended and got some one-on-one time with Chairman Dean. In mid-afternoon, Jim also took the time to go to nearby Glens Falls, NY, another small community with an very active DFA group, for a meeting with the editorial board of the Glens Falls Post Star. There he was joined by DFA National staffers Julia Marden and Ilya Sheyman who made the three hour drive down from Burlington.

A special guest was Essex County Democratic Chairwoman Sue Corey, who also came down from the Adirondacks to support Mayor Keehn.

At the event at the historic Inn At Saratoga, Jim talked at length about how community based grassroots politics-- campaigns like Val Keehn’s-- are taking back the Democratic Party and our country. Mayor Keehn got the crowd on their feet and cheering as she talked at length about the problems facing Saratoga and how her new administration was starting to turn the community around.

We want to thank Jim for making the effort to come to Saratoga Springs, the Israel family for their generous support, all our local DFA groups, Democracy For Saratoga Springs, Democracy For The Hudson Mohawk Region, Democracy For The Greater Glens Falls Area/Tricounty DFA and Julia and Ilya for coming down.

1. Thanks for posting this!

I think that I've seen Jim a whopping total of 1 time on c-span's Wash. Journal, and I don't see him much of anywhere else, so this was nice to see. :hi:

2. He's a very nice guy...pretty outspoken.

We met him in Orlando once. Pleasant and very passionate about what he does.
