"Since their inception, over 25,000 individuals have invested in the future of the Democratic Party through the Democracy Bonds program. Your monthly recurring small dollar contributions have allowed the Democratic National Committee to place organizers on-the-ground in 38 of the 50 United States.
For the past few days, those organizers from Utah, Alaska, Indiana, and New Hampshire have been in the building participating in their introductory training sessions. The sessions include information on everything from organizing techniques to incorporating a strategy for Internet-based communication in their daily activities. For me personally, it was the first of these sessions I was able to sit in on since arriving at the DNC. To see the looks of enthusiasm and optimism on the faces of the organizers was inspiring. Inspiring because these are the people, with YOUR help, that are going to help win races, at all levels on the ballot, in places Democrats have not competed in a long time. Even as the Internet portion of the presentation began near the end of the day, they were asking tons of questions about blogs, email, and websites – after a full day - they were still completely engaged."
They have been training in groups of 3 or 4 states at a time. I only have one question:
Why have only about 25,000 signed up for Democracy Bonds?On the conference call Governor Dean said that if one million gave 20 a month, they would have 20 million a month to operate on without relying on lobbyists.
