They may not have been welcome in Iowa...but they are still active around the country. I say they, I am part of it as well.

DFA rocks San Diego at the CA Convention & Red/Blue Dinner

The whole shebang started Friday night with the Progressive Caucus meeting and a floor speech from Senator Mike Gravel. After seeing the speech, San Diego for Democracy leader Charlie Imes tired to convince everyone to use his newly created slogan "What the Hell, Go Gravel!". Charlie told Kevin Lynn, recent president of DFA Pasadena, that he would be happy to create a "great slogan" for any of the candidates if they would "only listen".

Agi Kessler and Kess Kessler, both leaders in San Fernando Valley Grassroots for Democracy, made sure that the DFA table was well stocked with t-shirts, buttons, and other cool stuff through out the weekend. DFA members from all over the state stopped by and connected with each other at the table which was co-sponsored by DFA and several of the local groups including California for Democracy. Will Easton showed off photos of his beautiful baby. Ralph Miller, Mayme Hubert, and many others gathered signatures to bring several DFA member sponsored resolutions to the floor for a delegate vote on Sunday.



Charlie Brown was there too and many of us headed over to the Red/Blue Dinner hosted by Take Back Red California, SoCal Grassroots, and the Rural Caucus to see DFA Chair Jim Dean's keynote address.
