What can we do to influence the selection of the DNC chair?

[Carl Yasutomo]

Regarding the selection of the new DNC chair -- I want to do whatever I can to make my voice heard. The problem is, I have no clue whom to write to. Should I write to the DNC? Should I write to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid? Who has any power over the process, and how should I contact them??

Thanks for any replies!!

3. PassingFair - Thanks

I added another signature !

Has this link been posted on DU before?
If not, it should be a post by itself.
Maybe it will get more attention.

4. Find your state Democratic Party website and contact your State Chair

These people vote for the new DNC chairperson. Make it known to your state party officials who you want them to vote for.

Edited to add: Oh, and be sure to sign the petition linked above if you are a REAL Democrat and support Howard Dean.

6. Thanks for the info! And YES I am a Deaniac!

Thanks for the great suggestions! I have already signed the petition and will contact my state Democratic Party chair.

And YES, I am very much a Deaniac, and proud of it!! I am so fed up with the current leadership of the Democratic Party, who couldn't win an election if their opponent was Osama bin Laden, that I am very close to leaving the Democratic party (i.e. changing my voter registration to independent).

7. You're welcome, Carl,

and thanks for starting this topic!

I went to the State Democratic Chair Convention in Orlando on the 11th and heard the speeches of the candidates for DNC Chair. There was a private meeting with Dean at another hotel before the speeches started. It was very exciting. I went there in support of Dean and was surprised to see that Donnie Fowler was also running. He did a lot to foster the grassroots energy of the Clark campaign (of which I was a part).

Wellington Web was also very impressive, but either Dean or Fowler will bring a huge amount of grassroots energy to the Democratic Party.
