quick question, quick delete

I don't wanna take up space with my dumb questions, so I'll delete this when I hopefully get an answer.

What's the organization that basically teaches you to be an activist, particularly concerning helping out campaigns? I'm pretty sure Dean is/was involved somehow.

I'm really looking to do more than post on message boards, thanks for any info!!

2. Don't delete it

As the answers come in, and as the servers are upgraded, that answer can be searched for by future searchers.

Good question, looking forward to seeing the responses.

Haven't looked into it that much, but I loved Paul, so anything affiliated with him can't be bad! :)

10. Sorry, sweetheart.

I thought you might be a less than forth right poster, perhaps disingenuous. Howard Dean is your guy. Also Wesley Clark. But Howard has the activities. I believe. Keep in touch with DU. We are an odd child mix, but we do, and mean, quite well.
