Huge Turnout in Iowa City for Dean!

[slinkerwink]

Iowa City is overflowing -- it sounds like an ocean in Memorial Union Hall -- Over 1700 people are here, 300 more outside, we're at capacity, and Perfect Stormers are actually pouring out to listen outside so that potential Iowa caucus attendees can come in. The stairway halls of the parking garage was a parade of Dean stickers and orange hats.



Janeane Garofalo, wearing a red Perfect Storm hat, a Stand up for Choice Sticker, a Generation Dean sticker, a pink shirt with FREE SPEECH she made herself with a magic marker (and a pen stuck in her pink shirt), a TEXAS DEMOCRAT pin, and on her backback a Dissent protects Democracy pin, Give ‘em Hell Howard pin, and I won’t Cross the Line pin asked me to type this for her because her typing isn’t all that:

Consider this a shout out.

My name is Janeane Garofalo and I am part of the Democratic wing of the Democratic party, and that is why I have been inspired by Doctor Howard Dean

As Billy Bragg said, “no power without accountability” and the Bush administration is the embodiment of the concept of accountability last.
