Subject: RE: BS: Howard Dean's Blog
In June, I started investigating what Dean had on his campaign web site, and I took notice that he asked each group of local people who were meeting to support him to find needs in their community for which they could volunteer. I thought, "Wow this guy doesn't want people to just give money and put up signs, he wants them to actively do something good for their home town". Some of the projects that those Dean supporters have done, for example, are cleaning up a creek in Ithaca, NY, and refurbishing a Senior Center in Nasua, NH. Dean is the kind of leader who is inspiring people to come together in a positive way, and take action on their own to do something constructive. He is NOT saying, I'll fix your problems, he is saying, YOU can do something constructive to help yourself and others.
