Happy Birthday Howard!
Governor Howard Dean is celebrating his 60th birthday today. What a great birthday present we got him....Our Country!
It was his leadership that helped us win this election. It was his commitment to the fifty state strategy that helped us win this election. It was because he reminded us that "We Have the Power."
No one knows what is up next for Gov. Dean. There is speculation as where he goes from here, the biggest being that he might get Sec. of Health and Human Services in the Obama administration. Where ever he ends up, we know that is was because of him that we have taken back our country!

I think sometimes the hardest jobs are those of catalysts, who speak out when no one else is, who exhort people to speak out and stand up for their values. Inevitably they are opposed, maligned, ridiculed, ostracized, but if what they have been saying is the truth, they are ultimately vindicated.
In Howard's case, not only was he a catalyst, but an organizer, a visionary who knew that the message of liberals/progressives/Americans with a conscience and belief in the principles of this country would prevail. He was right.
How much honor he has achieved in his lifetime, I don't know, but I do know that we can celebrate this victory in 2008 in part bacause of Howard Dean. In a concrete sense, he has given us hope. His statement that in order to be good citizens, we must do more than vote has become a truth acknowledged by millions in our culture. He has changed the culture.
Again, thank you Howard Dean. Your contribution to this country, to all of the people is indelible. Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday!
DFA - show the Gov and his original supporters some respect - change the darn name of that watercooler. YOU HAVE THE POWER!!
Howie's birthday and some very dear friends back to join in the wishes.
Happiest of Birthdays, Howard. I hope that you and your family have a grand day.
I jes loves this blog!
I hope somebody at HQ forwards our well wishes to Howard. Many of us knew years ago how special he is. And no matter what he chooses to do now, we have his back. We are his legacy.
In fact everything you put into the Thank You Howard site will go to Gov. Dean. We have also sent out postcard to groups across the nation having them right thank you notes to Gov. Dean.
