WASHINGTON (AFP) - Howard Dean (news - web sites), who last week ended his bid for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, provided the outline of the new grassroots political organization he plans to launch.
The organization, he said, will harness the enthusiasm and fundraising potential he unleashed during his failed presidential campaign.
"We are determined to keep this organization as vibrant as it was throughout our campaign," the former Vermont governor said in a speech in New Haven, Connecticut, adding that the group's aim would be to "transform the Democratic Party and to change America."
The former medical doctor said the group will have its unveiling on March 18.
