Dean volunteers website
Hi everyone! I attended the first Dean for Texas meeting in Austin this morning and got a good inside look at how the Dean campaign is building their organisation nationwide. Essentially, the more moneyed candidates will be able to "buy" established networks of fundraisers and the like, while Dean is building one from the ground up. This is why it's very important for the activists among us to get involved in the campaign. We need to start building name recognition while continuing to raise money.
There are some websites being set up right now for the purpose of building the organisation. Many people have written us to ask how they can help, so I thought I'd point you all over to DeanVolunteers.org. There are links to many states in place already, with contact information for your precinct organisers being added daily. And as a side note, if you're in Texas like me, you can visit DeanForTexas.com to get started volunteering for the campaign. We've got a lot of legwork to do here, so if anyone can donate some time, the campaign would be very grateful.
UPDATE: the Dean Volunteers website has also been linked from the sidebar for a few days now - and there is a new Dean campaign site being setup, a blog called www.deancalltoaction.blogspot.com, which will be a notice board for specific calls to action by the campaign to the netroots support. I will try to see if the campaign will be willing to post their call to action notices on this blog as well.
update: Oh gees, I guess this is what I get when I try to post stuff directly after a four hour road trip. I just noticed Aziz has already put a link in the sidebar for the volunteers site. Ug! Sorry for the flub, folks.
