Hold Howard Accountable - Sign the Card (Howard Dean)

[cal04]

This is truly a great country. Where else can you work on one successful election in 1992, lose for the next fourteen years, and still get press? You got to hand it to James Carville; he can still get ink. But maybe we're the only ones that can't remember James Carville predicting that the Democrats should easily gain 50 seats in the House BEFORE the election. So why should that stop him from insisting that we should have won 50 seats AFTER the election?

I agree with a powerful and important guy like Jimbo. Howard should be held accountable. Hold him accountable for putting resources into Montana, where Jon Tester won a critical Senate seat. Hold him accountable for supporting Jerry McNerney in California, who ousted Richard Pombo. Hold him accountable for helping state parties nationwide to support competitive campaigns in places where Democrats haven't won for years. Hold him accountable for helping return checks and balances to what was once a rubber stamp Congress.

Today is Howard's birthday. Tell him that you know our success was a direct result of his strategy and the work of activists at the local level:

Send your message of thanks and support to Democracy for America's founder and sign the birthday card today:

Howard put the strategy in place. But it was you who powered the effort in so many ways.

30. Spend More Money

I support you and Howard Dean. I think Dean did a great job in helping so many people to ge elected, but he should have spent all the money. Maybe some more people could have won more seats. I do not think the Democrats would have won 50 seats. The Democrats may have won a few more seats or gotten a few more people elected. However, Dean should not lose his job.

65. We've got your back Howard!

It's not a typical B-day greeting, but here's the message I sent:

Happy Birthday!!

Your belief in us continues to inspire us to believe in ourselves. The feedback loop of hope and action that was born in your Presidential campaign continues to gain momentum.

With change comes resistance. Too many DC "professionals" have viewed us as game pieces to be manipulated for too long. As more and more of us connect with each other and figure out how to effectively use our power, we're shaking them up.

The facade is crumbing. Their contempt for us is breaking through (e.g., Begala's assessment that you were "just hiring a bunch of staff people to wander around Utah and Mississippi and pick their nose."); their attacks on you are gaining strength.

When they attack you, they are actually going after us. A big mistake. We are everywhere. Not an easy target.

We've got your back.

[sce56]

75. Happy BD Howard. And to Mr Carvillea = Cruella

Maybe those voting machines should be the ones we need to hold accountable for improperly counting the actual votes we should have won bigger maybe instead of blaming Howard Mr Carvella should ask his wife the RePuglican attack dog why the RePuglican controlled voting machines screwed us out of a bullet proof majority!

Happy Birthday Howard!!

Thanks for bringing us great candidates to vote for not only in national elections but also at the state, county and municipal levels as well.

The DNC is now doing what it always should have done...growing from the roots. Carville is a worn-out hack. You have brought vitality and backbone to the Democratic party and deserve nothing but the highest praise for what you've accomplished.

Thanks, keep up the good work, and don't worry...anybody who messes with our boy will have a fight on his hands. We'll take care of the Washington insiders. You just keep taking care of us "little" folks.
