Governor Dean on "Face the Nation"
Governor Dean will be on "Face the Nation" Sunday morning, the day of his one-year anniversary as DNC chair. Be sure to watch. If you're on the east coast, you'll be snowed in with nothing better to do anyway.

And Joe Rospars has one of the new personal fundraising bats up. You can make it your own. Joe was part of the campaign, and the bat is special to him as well as most of us. The DNC won't put on up officially, but you can make your own.

Yesterday when Tim posted about the DNC's new personal fundraising tools, we asked for ideas for more mini-campaigns (now, in addition to creating your own personal fundraising homepage, you can create mini-campaigns that will add to your total). A couple of people brought up the old favorite: a bat.
Well, here it is -- you can now create your own bat on Democrats.org and ask all of your contacts to step up to the plate.
Joe Rospars's diary :: ::
"For those of you who weren't around then, the bat is a symbol that will forever be associated with Governor Howard Dean and the hundreds of thousands of Americans who during his presidential run first came to understand the power ordinary people contributing $20 or $50 could have when they act together.
As some of you know I've been working for Howard Dean in one capacity or another for nearly three years. And before I went to work for him full-time on the presidential campaign, I was blogging about him and organizing online with folks like Matt and Aziz (anybody remember the Dean Defense Forces?).
As we were setting up this bat mini-campaign, Tim asked me about the symbol of the bat and its meaning for me. I didn't have a really clear answer for him, and I don't really have one to write here, because it's a deeply personal thing for me.
The bat is a powerful symbol for me and a lot of people -- a symbol of empowerment, a symbol of hope. In the nearly two years since the campaign ended, it has become a symbol of what might have been."

Here is the thread to the tool for making your own fundraising tool.

And here is a sample of what one looks like.
