Dean Rallies Democratic Activists
Democracy for America flexes muscle

Buoyed by prospects of gaining political traction in the Show Me State, Democracy for Missouri held its statewide organizing conference yesterday to stoke the fires for the upcoming general election.
Local organizers from around the state converged at Carpenter’s Local 1925 hall to discuss ways to drive Democratic voters to the polls. The Missouri group is a branch of Democracy for America, an offshoot of former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean’s presidential candidacy that seeks to organize support for local and national candidates who champion a progressive agenda.
To reach those goals, regional members of the group tout face-to-face contact with potential voters along with compiling lists of reliably Democratic voters as strategies for victory in November.
Howard Dean is now national chairman of the Democratic Party. Jim Dean, his brother, is chairman of Democracy for America. In town yesterday to rally activists with the state group, he said it has already had an effect on Missouri politics through active support for candidates like Jeff Smith, who won a crowded Democratic primary for a St. Louis state Senate seat.
