"On this day a decade ago -- January 19, 2004 -- Howard Dean gave one of the most (in)famous speeches in the history of American politics. In a funny way, the "Dean Scream" was the launch of the 50 State Strategy -- a leave-no-community-behind framework for change that transformed the Democratic Party.
Ten years later, the organization he founded to carry on the empowerment ethos of his presidential campaign -- Democracy for America -- is stronger than ever and the 50 State Strategy continues to this day.
Help us continue the work we started ten years ago. Contribute now to support DFA's relentless focus on income inequality and electing progressive changemakers across America this November"

Well that decade sure flew by, proving time flies even when you're not having fun.

I wish DFA strategies were embraced by our party more.

in the character assassination of Dr. Dean.

"Senator Lieberman criticized Dr. Dean's proposal to eliminate President Bush's taxes cuts in order to finance his health care plan and his proposal that the United States should enter trade agreements only with countries that share its labor, environmental and human rights standards.
''The Bush recession would be followed by the Dean depression,'' Mr. Lieberman said, noting that one in five American jobs are connected to international trade."
