Go!

I went to the Democracy For America meetup tonight.

40 people in attendance (the same number that attended my first Dean meetup back in March of 2003 btw), commiserating for a moment and then getting down to the business of taking the next step.

Dean held a conference call. We were one of the four sites that got the privilege of asking Dean a question. He was asked about running for DNC chair and, for the first time, he actually made noises about considering it. He asked us to send him a short message telling him why he should or should not vie for the position. He agreed with our question about the need to work on a clear message, recommended Lakoff in the process. He also recommended "What's The Matter With Kansas?", a book which I just bought tonight.

I handed out four copies of "Don't Think About An Elephant" to meetup participants and got a lot of positive response to the idea of putting on message workshops. I'm going to talk more about this later.

Go join Democracy For America.

Go to the next meetup.

Go!
