Howard Dean to speak at National Young Dems Convention! Everyone Under 36

[UnapologeticLiberal]

I am planning to attend the National Young Dems Convention in Buffalo, NY from August 13-17. We just found out today that Governor Dean is going to be speaking and is thus far the only Democratic Presidential contender committed to attending. It is going to be a lot of fun – the Clintons and several other prominent Democrats will speak, and they have a lot of exciting activities planned. I think it is really important that we have a strong presence of Dean supporters at the convention, so please, if you can go, go. To find out more, the website is http://www.buffaloniagara2003.org/. The cost of the convention (not including hotel and travel and some meals) is $45.

If you are planning to/interested in going to the convention, please e-mail me at [email protected] and cc it to Michael Whitney, an intern for the Dean campaign, at [email protected], and sign up with the campaign at http://action.deanforamerica.com/meet/selectmtg.html?zip=14202&distance=1. If you need help finding a relatively cheap way to get to the convention, talk to me – I have found a bunch of people cheap flights on Southwest, JetBlue, and AirTran. Also, at www.studentsfordean.org/rideboard, there are people organizing carpools from all over.

If you could please pass this on to other people you know under age 36 who are supporting Dean, that would be very much appreciated.

1. The fact that Dean is the only Dem (so far) attending. . .

speaks volumes.

Of course, there is still 2 weeks to ago, and other Dem Presidential contenders may still come. Still, the fact that Howard Dean jumped at this opportunity with both feet in gives the lie to the attitude I've seen in recent threads that the Dems don;t care about young people.

Maybe the DLC and the DNC don't care, but it's obvious some individual Dems do. Like Howard Dean. No wonder the DLC/DNC are scared of him.

If Howard Dean can energize these people, as he has done thru Meetups and such, then he's well on his way.
