Millennial Dean Workers Flood Iowa to start new Youth Activist Era

This is the beginning, my friends, the Millennial Generation Revolution has just begun in the state of Iowa, where 5,000 Dean volunteers, most of them under the age of 22 (The Heroic Millennial Generation), are now flooding the state. The Newspaper called it The Perfect Storm, I call it the Millennial Revolution, the greatest sea change in American politics since Generation X's apathy and right-wing acquiesence brought us Reagan and this plague of Bushes. The pendulum is now swinging the other way!

15 million Millennials come of voting age in 2004 and there are millions more high schoolers, many who will work for Dean. This unbelievable number of volunteers for the caucus, 5,000! -- is by far the largest number ever, with 1 worker for every 20 caucus-goer. This has to be good for the rest of the party.

The incredible goal of Dean for the General Election will also be met: 3 million workers all across the U.S. and especially bussed into the Swing States. The highest number for a Presidential previously? 175,000! Once he meets that goal for the GE, it will be 1 Dean worker for every 35 voters across the whole U.S. Nothing less than the greatest grassroots campaign of all time, of all politics!

And most of them will be Millennials. (to find out more about the new progressive potential of the Millennial demographic, order this book http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0688119123/qid=1072748278/sr=2-3/ref=sr_2_3/002-0321525-5012815

Howard Dean supporters storm the Quad Cities


DAVENPORT - Howard Dean calls it his Brewing Storm. Volunteers for Dean's campaign flood Iowa until December 31st trying to get your vote. It all leads up to the January Caucus and what Dean calls his self-proclaimed Perfect Storm --a Caucus victory.

At Dean's Davenport headquarters volunteers from all over the country work long hours trying to get you and your neighbors behind thier candidate. "One of the things that surprised me coming out here is how young a lot of the volunteers are. And how it seems a lot of people my age, whether in college or not, or even high school kids have come out and tried to work for this," says Jeremy Bietler, a college student from Philadelphia who is spending his semester break in Davenport trying to shore up support for Dean.

"I've always voted, but never done anything like this before. I heard give a great speech for 40 minutes. He spoke to every issue I cared about. He didn't mince words. He just came out and spoke his mind. I agree totally with him," explains Bill Everham of Chicago. He and Maggie Feeney, who lives in Boston, are also part of Dean's push to get your vote on January 19th. Bill and Maggie both spent the day in Davenport passing out literature and talking to folks about why Howard Dean should be our next president.

Volunteers are going door-to-door, calling folks on the telephone, emailing and even writing personal letters. So if you're a registered Democrat, chances are you'll be contacted by a Dean volunteer at some point this month.

I'm a leading edge boomer, and a friend and I are going to be working in Dubuque this weekend and DesMoines caucus weekend. Another friend who's in her late 30's-early 40's will be in Davenport the week leading up to the caucuses with her husband and 10-year-old Kid for Dean. I personally know several others from the Northern edge of Chicago/Evanston who are going plus tons of others of all ages from around the country. All going on our own dime of our own volition because it's important to us.

Go, Go, Go!

Not sure what Generation I'm from (1967) or my daughter (1991) but we are off to Iowa on Friday! Can't wait! Bringin' it home...
