| Happy Birthday Democracy for America!
DFA is celebrating its 5th birthday tonight, Wednesday, March 25th, and, well, here's what DFA founder Howard Dean has to say about it: It is hard to believe it's been five years since I founded Democracy for America. I came back to an organization even larger than when I left. The original Dean Dozen has turned into over 575 progressive candidates successfully elected in positions up and down the ballot. They've started a training program that has trained over 20,000 activists and candidate in the skills to win. It is great to be working with DFA again. Well, Howard - it's great to have you back!
So, in celebration of DFA's 5th Birthday, and Howard Dean's return, there are house parties tonight across the nation, including 5 parties here in New Jersey, where DFA members, friends and supporters are gathering for a look back at the successes of the last 5 years, and a look ahead to what's next. Governor Corzine is coming to the party in Hawthorne, and of course, the Blue Jersey community is invited to attend any one of the parties:
We're partying in Clinton,... and Hoboken,... and West Orange,.. and Red Bank! ... Yeeargggghh!! (Ok, I couldn't resist.)
Gov. Dean, along with DFA Chair Jim Dean and other special guests will be on a live conference call beginning at 9:00 p.m. to link all the parties together. Wherever you live, find the party nearest you, and join us.
And, even if you can't get to a party in person, you can listen to the call online, or call in yourself:
