Democracy for America Announces First Congressional Endorsement of 2006
John Courage for United States Congress

BURLINGTON, VT. -- Today, Democracy for America (DFA) announced their first congressional endorsement of 2006 -- John Courage for the 21st District of Texas -- making him the newest member of the DFA-List, Candidates for America.

"John Courage is the ideal candidate to be named as the DFA Grassroots All-Star. He encompasses the true spirit of grassroots democracy and is fighting to restore honesty and integrity to our government and to the people of Texas," said Jim Dean, Chair of Democracy for America. "He will bring new vision and new leadership to both the state of Texas and our nation's capital. I am excited to extend the first DFA-List endorsement of 2006 to Courage for Congress."

"I am excited and appreciative of the honor of having been voted DFA's first Grassroots All-Star for the November 2006 Campaign," said Courage. "We have a great challenge facing us in changing the course of America next year, but with the continued united efforts we've shown in Paul Hackett's campaign in Ohio, and now coming to fruition in our campaign in Texas, it is obvious the momentum has shifted and 2006 will be a great year for DFA and candidates across the country."

Over the past two weeks, Democracy for America has been hosting the "DFA Grassroots All-Star" competition to determine the first DFA-List endorsement of 2006. The competition consisted of two rounds of voting. The endorsement was open to all candidates running for challenger and open seat races for Congress next year. Tens of thousands of DFA members throughout the country voted for their favorite candidate, narrowing the field from sixty down to one -- and they chose John Courage as the DFA Grassroots All-Star.
