One Year from Today

08/25/2007

Dear DFLers,


One year from today, thousands of Democratic delegates from all across America will be arriving in Denver, Colorado for the 45th Democratic National Convention. The event generates incredible publicity for the nominee and highlights the successes of hard working progressive Democrats like you. That's why you should be a Grassroots Democratic Delegate.

We have been reshaping the party for over four years. Thousands of us joined the local party and ran for leadership roles. Hundreds of us ran for office in districts that hadn't seen a Democratic challenger in years, sometimes decades. Together, we elected our founder, Governor Dean, to Chair of the Democratic Party.

We've worked to reenergize the party from the bottom up and the top down at the same time. Thanks to our boots on the ground and Governor Dean's 50 State Strategy, progressives made incredible gains in 2006, but we still have a long way to go.

Delegates participate in developing the national platform, and help chart a new direction for America and the Democratic Party. Let's make sure our progressive voices are heard.

If you want to be a delegate, your first step should be to contact your state party to determine what their process is. You can find the contact information for your state party and get started right now:

Want another reason to go? This is going to be one heck of a party. This is our chance to thank Governor Dean for his leadership. Our chance to make sure the Democratic nominee never forgets the success of the 50 State Strategy, grassroots organizing, and people-powered campaigns. This is our chance to keep moving the party forward.

Become a Democratic Delegate; America is worth it.
