Dean Supprters. How are you doing it?
I mean, what are you doing to support Dean.

I talk to everyone that will listen about him. I have a Clark Supporter back ont he fence and full of doubts at work.

I go into the phone bank and work the phones. It's fun talking to undecided voters about why *I* supoport Dean, and not reading froim the scripts.

Today I once again donated more money to the campaign. I have some room to spare on the max-out amount, so there will be more to come.

Feb 17th in Wisconsin! Dean will get here with Momentum!

1. Something All Dean Supporters Can Do From Home
other than argue here.

Call or write SC voters from the comfort of your own home.

2. I give people my own reasons because they matter
They can get the campaign line anytime but people I know want to know why I support Howard Dean. Not why you do or anyone else.

Hearing from someone they know and possibly trust adds much more weight to the appeal.

Consider calling anyone you know in New Hampshire and give them your reasons, straight from the heart.

3. Here's what I'm doing.
Edited on Mon Jan-26-04 06:35 PM by Anwen
Unfortunately I lost my job and can't contribute money to his campaign at this time.

But I've already begun writing letters to people in South Carolina, and I plan to keep writing until my fingers fall off.

I've also been spreading the word to everyone I know. I've converted four people so far. Hey, it's a start :-)

4. Woo Hoo
Keep it up for Dean.

And after we win or lose in NH send me aome addresses and I'll write you friends too. Or if you'd rather be safe, send leaner names into the Dean HQ in Burlington for distribution to letter writers like me.

Dead Heat last night. Dean may even be ahead by now.

The only poll that matters is tomorrow and I'll be there holding a sign for Howard Dean.

5. Well
I provide a favorable view of him to my friends, which counteracts the bad media coverage and I donate money to his campaign.

7. What I do.
Host meet-ups and letter writing nights with other Dean supporters. Talk to friends and family. 24 letters written just by me so far (who remembered that writing could hurt the hand so much). Made contributions, spread word around town. What I like most is the meet-ups where regular folks like me come together to chew the political fat and work together for Dean.

9. Dean's record
I bring it up to the repukes I'm surrounded with as much as I can, especially the part about inheriting a deficit and leaving a surplus. REAL conservatives become almost orgasmic at the mention of a balanced budget :-)

13. Tell the truth about him
to anyone who will listen. Point them to his website's issues page, get them to watch a speech, etc. A lot of people have the wrong impression of him and I can usually clear it up. It's amazing how many people think he is a tax-hiking radical leftist. And I contribute to his campaign and go to meet-ups.

14. Two of my friends, one a Kucinich supporter, the other an Edwards
opened up conversation about the primaries by mentioning right away they think the "scream" thing was unfair. Ultimately, we are on the same team and know that forces beyond our guys are joined together to try to prevent a Democratic president from taking office.
