7,000 Americans have joined Dean For America since yesterday

[pruner]

Since yesterday's announcement by Vice President Al Gore that he is endorsing Howard Dean, you have once again shown the strength of the greatest grassroots campaign of the modern era. Here's what you've done in the last 24 hours:

• More than 7,000 Americans have joined your campaign, bringing the total to 527,320. If you haven't already, join now, and then invite a friend to join.

• You have contributed more than $320,000 to taking back your country. By two million Americans contributing $100, we will defeat George W. Bush and the large corporate interests that back him. Join the $100 revolution today.

• You have sent more than 14,000 notes of appreciation to Al Gore. Send a note now, and show the strength of a united Democratic party.

The power of your letter-writing is tremendous. This morning you made the New York Times, in a report on how your Meetup letters helped persuade Vice President Gore:

(T)he campaign encouraged Dean supporters to write to Mr. Gore, among other Democratic figures, including former President Bill Clinton, to seek their endorsements. A Dean aide said that at an Oct. 1 gathering of 50,000 Dean supporters in more than 700 cities around the country, 2,500 people sent handwritten letters to Mr. Gore asking him to endorse Dr. Dean.

2. Awesome stuff...

I like the feeling of the momentum. Hopefully we can get enough inertia to last another year.

As I keep saying, now is the time to redouble our efforts. Write twice as many letters, talk to twice as many people as you normally do, wear twice as many buttons (ok, ok, I've seen some of you covered head to toe in Dean schwag... you guys don't have to double up, you are doing just fine... :toast:)

I consider last night to be when the battle was truly joined, when all the posturing has fallen away and we are now in the nitty-gritty of actually clawing to victory. Like an episode of Star Trek, the enemy we battle are really our friends - so we cannot harm them. Speak good words, ignore their barbed wits, and keep focused on the goal: defeating Bush.

It's the Kunat Kaliphee for the party. Who's blood truly burns?
