It is going onward with the continuation of Dean's mission to empower Americans to be able to make changes in campaign financing and media control among other goals. This was National Grassroots for Dean, and will continue as National Grassroots. Probably will be able to find Meetups for this in many places. http://www.NationalGrassroots.us/ |

In the end, over 170,000 people opened their checkbooks and contributed an average of about $60 to put ads on the air that challenge Bush and his corporate backers. The impact of this campaign shouldn't be underestimated: it clearly demonstrates that real people still matter in American politics. And the folks in Washington know it." |
