We need your help in your county


 
The Democratic Party

Dear Friends,

We need your help.

Tens of thousands of Democrats are already members of PartyBuilder, a group of tools on Democrats.org that puts control of the Democratic Party in the hands of people like you in all fifty states.

Yesterday we asked people who already use PartyBuilder to join or create a virtual group to organize their county online. We made great progress, and now many counties have an organized group of Democrats online that are talking to each other, planning events, and strategizing for 2008. Think of it as a digital 50-State Strategy.

Can you sign on and join a group with other Democrats in your county? We talk about a Democratic presence in everywhere -- now this is your chance to make that happen with PartyBuilder.

You can see if there's a group right here:

And if there's not already a group in your county, you can create one right here:

"The ability of our citizens to engage in the political process is only as meaningful as the tools they have to do it."

That's what Governor Dean said when he introduced PartyBuilder a year ago this week, and people across the country have used these powerful tools to support Democratic candidates up and down the ballot.

We know how that worked out -- a historic victory for the Democratic Party -- but it's time to ramp up again for 2008 and beyond. Having this online infrastructure -- in every county of every state -- will be an invaluable resource to the Democratic nominee for President, not to mention every other Democratic campaign in your area.

We're not just talking about the 50-State Strategy -- PartyBuilder is helping make it happen, and we need your help.

Become a part of this network by joining your county's PartyBuilder group...

...or by starting one for other Democrats in your county:

A grassroots effort like PartyBuilder can only work within the Democratic Party.

Republicans rely on a top-down system. For them, the fewer people involved in the political process, the better. That results in the fear-mongering, voter suppression, and politics of exclusion that you've seen from the Republican Party for years.

You're reading this email because you know that's not how politics should work. We're fighting the Republicans' cynical tactics with a truly democratic effort: building the party from the ground up, and asking you to take the lead.

Become part of that effort by creating your county's PartyBuilder group today:

P.S. -- The Democratic presidential candidates have groups on PartyBuilder, many created by grassroots supporters like yourself. You can connect with the candidates and other supporters on PartyBuilder:

People just like you give the Democratic Party the ability to put organizers on the ground in all 50 states, including yours. We're working to win everywhere, at every level, and your support is vital to taking back the White House in 2008.
