Growing Grassroots Involvement
Democracy for America, founded by Gov. Howard Dean, is committed to strong, sustained grassroots involvement in the democratic process. Today, half of Americans dont even bother to vote. Only through acting will people recognize the power they have to change this country.
Backing Trustworthy Candidates
Democracy for America is committed to promoting an America where candidates and office holders tell the truth about policy choices and stand up for what they believe. We need to recruit and encourage progressive candidates to run for office at every level. And as we need to take back Congress and state offices, we will raise funds for candidates who need our help, through small donations from grassroots supporters.
Fighting for Progressive Policies
Democracy for America is committed to fighting for progressive policies:
health care for all
investment in children
equal rights under law
fiscal responsibility
national security policy that makes America stronger by advancing progressive values.
