Democracy for America Re-Launches Website, Announces the Return of the Fundraising Dean Bat

Released: Apr 29, 2004 5:27 AM

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Today, Governor Howard Dean re-launched his organization's website - www.democracyforamerica.com - in conjunction with a fundraising drive featuring the return of the fabled fundraising Dean Bat. Supporters can track the progress of the fundraising drive by watching the Bat fill up as Democracy for America closes in on its goal of raising $250,000.

"The money we raise on the Bat will go towards the great cause of promoting candidates to run at every level of government," Governor Dean said today. "Our vision is for www.democracyforamerica.com to become a home base for the grassroots community. Our supporters have proven time and time again that the grassroots are alive and well, and I'm certain they are up to our latest challenge."

In the coming weeks, www.democracyforamerica.com will roll out new Action Tools for grassroots organizers, feature Dean inspired candidates on the site, schedule campaign seminars around the country on the basics of grassroots organizing, and continue an ongoing dialogue with supporters in order to restore the sense of community that has been lost during the presidency of George W. Bush.
