Democracy for America group blog for DFA Delegates and Alternates to the Democratic Convention
Almost time for Democracyfest!!!
Linked to groups: DFA Blog Network, blog for America Test and Poll Group, Blog For America, Netroots Activism!, Blog For America
August 16 & 17 is the time for all Howard Dean and Jim Dean supporters to come and out and have a great weekend of training, great speakers, and just plain fun.
The Dulles Holiday Inn is the place to be. The Democracyfest team is hard at work making final preparations.
Go to www.democracyfest.net and sing up to attend if you haven't already done so.
Howard Dean will be speaking Saturday night, Aug 16 at 7:30 p.m. His speech is free and open to the public.
Our Virginia Democratic Women's Caucus is a sponsor so we will have a table set up. Come on over and say hi!! www.VaDWC.org
lol - I say that every year. next year my finances should be in much better shape (God willing). and I have an especially important date that weekend - sitting with my grandsons so their hardworking parents can go to a concert on the Burlington waterfront!
thanks again, Jess and Rich!
...for DFest. It's all Jessica and the organizers. By chance, I happen to live nearby.
I'll never foget how you showed up and volunteered to help at the registration desk the first year and then stayed there the whole weekend! I remember I kept trying to stop by and ask if you wanted a break and you said no, that you liked meeting the people when they checked in...and then you asked me if you could take a break when Howard spoke. LOL! People like you are the community that makes this event happen.
...is there an issue with the commitments for DemFest?
Bigtime
so it will be put on the front page, thanks guys.
I look forward to seeing all my blog friends.
Just get the word out and we all can support this great event.
I have gotten my women's caucus to sponsor a table, bought my husband and I a ticket and donated some money to the event.
We all can make a difference.
Also would like to thank DFA for going to the Take Back America conference the past two years and to Netroots Nation. They will also be at the Dem National convention in Denver.
I will see them there.

Seriously, DFest is the blog writ large and in person, and I mean that in the best way. It's also just around the corner from my house :-) Meet people whose names (or handles) you know. Clear up misunderstandings (Subway thought I didn't like him until we met on the covered bridge last DFest, and I explained our policy differences were just that -- and nothing more.)
Visit Washington, watch the Nationals play at our new stadium, see the new Air and Space museum minutes from the DFest site!
