Reforming the Democratic Party:
DFA members are working everyday to build a stronger more progressive Democratic Party. We believe the Democratic Party must be driven by people-power and responsive to the needs of everyday Americans. DFA members fight for a culture of activism and rebuild policies and platforms for grassroots empowerment.
Ending the War in Iraq
The War in Iraq is a disaster for America and our morale standing in the world. Hundreds of thousands of people dead or wounded -- whether they were American soldiers, innocent Iraqis, or high paid mercenary contractors – DFA members are working to heal the damage and end this tragedy right now.
Solving the Climate Crisis
There are other threats to the freedoms and security of America than just terrorism. Climate change is a global threat that has endangered species and environmental habitats worldwide. With catastrophic consequences for Americans on the horizon if no action is taken, DFA members have been at the forefront calling for worldwide change.
Achieving Universal Health Care
Currently 44 million Americans do not have health care coverage. Millions more Americans are under-insured causing bankruptcy and tearing families apart when struck with a life threatening illness. DFA members are working make sure America's sick are no longer left behind...

Info over mijzelf:
This is the official MySpace Page of Democracy for America.Democracy for America, our nation's largest progressive political action community, is a grassroots powerhouse working to change our country and the Democratic Party from the bottom-up. We provide campaign training, organizing resources, and media exposure so our members have the power to support progressive issues and candidates up and down the ballot.
Howard Dean’s 2004 Presidential campaign ignited progressive grassroots activism nationwide. After the campaign ended, Dean and his supporters continued to believe in the powerful role of committed citizens. This is the foundation on which DFA was built. DFA is still driven by Gov. Dean’s message: “You have the power.”
We are fighting to to solve the climate crisis, end the War in Iraq, and achieve universal health care.
Join us to take back our country!
The DFA Campaign Academy mission is to focus, network, and train grassroots activists in the skills and strategies to take back our country, manage successful campaigns or run for office themselves.
Our Campaign Academy week-ends are 16 hours of interactive workshops bringing hundreds of local activists, campaign staff and candidates together for 2 days of intensive campaign training. Experienced campaign professionals lead sessions in voter contact, fundraising, communications, on-line organizing and much more to empower progressive activists with the skills to win in November and beyond.
Attendees also meet with dozens of local progressive candidates and learn about exciting job and volunteer opportunities in their area. And of course, everyone receives their own copy of DFA's 180-page Campaign Training Manual.
We’re building a grassroots infrastructure of skilled progressive activists in all 50 states.
DFA Night School is our on-line training program that allows anyone to learn the skills to win from their own home. Each session is an interactive conference call and web presentation where trainees participate and ask questions. Featuring expert trainers, topics range from Volunteer Recruitment to Framing a Message to Fundraising to Online Media.
Each session lasts just an hour, is packed with important skills and is completely free. You can download past presentations below to watch at your convenience. DVD versions are also available for purchase at the Training Store.

10 van 290MeerEvidently, Obama is just as phony as everyone else in Washington, and voted against the American people and the Constitution by supporting Bush's warrantless wiretapping.
Maybe Lewis Black had it right in his comedy routine when he said of the Democratic Party losing the Presidential election in 2004 was like a normal kid losing at the Special Olympics.
Today, Congress passed 69-28 the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act also know as FISA. Why is this important you ask, well the basic importance of this issue is how we, the United States, are moving towards a fascist state. This bill now grants immunity to telecom companies such as Verizon and AT&T from civil lawsuits for wiretapping citizens within the US. FISA has been in effect for over 30 years and was implemented during the Vietnam War and the Nixon era to prevent the government from abusing its surveillance powers for political purposes; and the FISA court (under the original legislation) was in place to approve wiretaps inside the US for intelligence purposes only.
Since good 'ol W came into power, FISA has become a bill that grants the government and the telecom companies the right to spy on its own citizens, and can do so for a week without even having to apply for a warrent. Even worse, the previous FISA bill Bush signed would allow for spying or wire tapping specific individuals believed to be part of a terrorist regime, now entire groups of individuals can be singled out and surveilled. This administration covers itself under the blanket of terrorism, keeping Americans afraid so they will succumb to any outrageous demands this administration has.
Even our current Democratic Presidential Candidate Obama voted Yay for the new bill. This pseudo progressive who chants cCHANGE anytime he has a microphone, has now given the telecom companies the go ahead to listen to us without retribution for their crimes. But wait, since the FISA bill was passed today, this isnt a crime anymore. Every American citizen is now at risk of being wiretapped via telephone, cell phone, computer, email, myspace, AIM, etc, you see where im going, and having whatever we say, read or write used against us at the will of the telecom companies and the government. Since all American citizens consist of every race and religion known to mankind, everyone is at risk.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Washington Transcripts (What is really being said in DC)
I don’t know were John McCain gets these people, guys like his so called top strategist Charlie Black. The guy is a buffoon, a clown, worse. I know about clownish buffoonery and I know Black took one of the best things my Administration could do to help elect McCain right off the table. All the dirty tricks we have been brainstorming around with will all backfire on us now, windup hurting our Republican cause, not helping like they would have before this blockhead Black shot his damn mouth off about how some terrorism would assure a McCain victory.

Washington Transcripts (What is really being said in DC)
John McCain supports my Iraq War all the way. He is even planning to restore the Draft as soon as we get him elected. That way he will have the troops needed to salvage my accomplished mission. John plans to build in a lot of deferments so the right kind don’t get sucked in, better than those exemptions that kept me and the Vice President out of Vietnam.

McCain's Bargain: the handshakes are free

Republicans can't win elections based on their failed philosophies, so, they've latched onto a new plan: make it as hard and expensive as possible for people to exercise their constitutionally protected right to vote.
Since the Supreme Court decided two weeks ago to uphold a draconian law in Indiana that requires citizens show a government issued photo ID to vote, Republican legislatures across the country have started moving fast to pass their own version of this horrible law.
And just like the poll taxes and literacy tests of the past, Republicans hide their real purpose under the banner of preventing possible voter fraud. But these laws are really about stopping senior citizen, low income, and newly registered Americans from voting. Why? Because they typically vote for Democrats.
We must stand together and protect every American's right to vote.
SIGN THE PETITION NOW:
http://democracyforamerica. com/action/righttovote
Already 19 states are rushing to pass anti-voting laws. And just this week, Missouri Republicans started taking it a step further. A photo ID isn't good enough; they want you to show your birth certificate or passport in the polling booth too.
What's next? Require a blood sample? Maybe a lock of hair? Or some of your DNA?
Republicans claim this is about national security. They have no proof, but illegal immigrants might be trying to vote. On the other hand, just last week in Indiana's primary, as many as 12 nuns were denied their right to vote because they didn't have government issued photo-ids. That’s right; evidently Republican's are protecting our democracy from our biggest threat: nuns without ids.
Together, we have the power to stop this assault on our right to vote.
TAKE ACTION AND SIGN THE PETITION NOW:
