Will Grassroots Prevail

Howard Dean has inspired the greatest grassroots following in history. His campaign used the Internet to engage, excite and expand our numbers and efforts.

We have grown form a few in early 2003 to over 580,000 signed up on the campaign and a MeetUp base of over 177,000, about three times larger than the Clark campaign, the next largest MeetUp base.

We wrote letters to ALL the undecided Iowans, a truly remarkable achievement, and a clear indication of an engaged base.

The grassroots has inspired others to endorse Howard Dean, All Gore, Tom Bradley, and many, many other Democrat leaders. The grass roots have contributed more $40 million, a record amount for a Democratic Presidential candidate. These are clear indication of an excited base.

Campaign manager Joe Trippi points to larger than expected turnouts for caucus training sessions in Iowa this week and an event in Muscatine over the weekend at which almost half of those who attended either had never participated in the caucuses before or were not even registered to vote, a clear indication of an expanded base.

Now we await the outcome of the Iowa Caucus. Will all our efforts to take our country back lead to a win in Iowa? It is pins and needles time for the grassroots.
