"The reason I went and sat at his table is I personally think Ned is a terrific candidate and I want to support him," said Mr. Dean, one of 1,700 guests at the political event. "I think not only is it a good race for the voters because he's bringing the war back, I think his campaign will benefit candidates up and down the Democratic ticket."

Hi -

The Oakland DFA Meetup is supporting (not organizing) the promotion of a special event on Wednesday night that was just announced.

If you read the blogs, you know about Ned Lamont and his courageous campaign to defeat Joe Lieberman in the Connecticut primary. Thing is, Ned actually has a shot because the grassroots and the netroots are behind him, in Connecticut and across the country -- including many DFA groups. And Lieberman is running scared (he even threatened to run as an independent as a counter-tactic).

Come to Oakland on Wednesday night and meet the man who could change the party by throwing down the gauntlet on blue-state Democrats-In-Name-Only who sell out progressive values.

Please forward this to everyone you know who cares about taking back the Democratic Party. And changing our country.

More info on the event below...

Be the Change,

Why is Ned Lamont running against Joe?

I am running for the US Senate because we deserve a Senator who will stand up for Connecticut and stand up for our progressive democratic values. Rather than spending hundreds of millions of dollars a day in Iraq, it is time for America to refocus on issues back home: fixing our healthcare system, upgrading our schools, and rebuilding our aging infrastructure. We will start winning in Iraq as the Iraqis take control of their own destiny, just as America has to start investing again in our own future.

I would have led the opposition to Judge Samuel Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court, which may soon be considering the South Dakota law which outlaws a woman's right to choose even in the case of rape and incest. I will push for energy conservation and efficiency standards as the best means to energy independence and a cleaner environment.

In other words, I am running to be your Democratic Senator.
