Dean Meetup Report
Went to the Dean Meetup last night and was once again kind of thrilled to be participating. We wrote hand-written letters to Iowa voters urging them to consider Dean. Have to see how it works out, but like I said, it is kind of cool to be participating. M has assumed a leadership role and is doing more than her share of volunteering, and I am so impressed. When you consider how few people get involved at any level, well, it is just impressive.

One more note: Howard Dean has decided to let his campaign members (those who have signed up on his web site, I guess) choose whether he accepts federal matching funds or not. He has been a vocal supporter of campaign reform, but in this case, I can't see how he can accept the matching funds. Bush has a kazillion dollars to spend and disarming here would be disastrous. The other very interesting point here, is that by not taking the matching funds, Dean has the opportunity to be truly publicly financed, since most of his donations come from small donors.
