I've just self-published a booklet for distribution to DFA members and Dean and Reich supporters, entitled 'Primer on Massachusetts Democratic Party Politics: What You Need to Know to Effect Progressive Reforms' - which addresses the goals of DFA, Dean's candidacy, Reich's candidacy, and other progressives who want to work within the Democratic Party to change it for the better.

My booklet is relevant to anyone who is interested in party reform, even if you're not from Massachusetts. It's available in downloadable format at:
http://DemocraticStateCommittee.com/dsc.htm#primer
but to get a printed and bound copy, come to one of the events listed below (or write me).

I'll be distributing this booklet at the two DFA events this weekend, and at a Robert Reich event next week. You're invited to all three events.
