Democracy Bond

A Note from Chairman Howard Dean - Go Dr. Dean

I made my commitment to reform the political process and change the way political parties are financed.

I bought my Democracy Bond.

A Democracy Bond is the way for you to take control of our party's future. It's a monthly commitment to invest a small amount -- $20, $30 or whatever you can afford -- to build a sustainable Democratic Party in every state and win elections at every level of office.

More important, Democracy Bonds are the start of a community of Americans with a stake in our common future.

We, the people, have the chance to reclaim our government and rid politics of special interest money once and for all:

It's going to take more than you and me to make this happen. That's why, on your new site, you will be able to ask your friends and neighbors to join us. You'll also be able to track your progress as you build your own network of people committed to shaping the future of our party and our country.

If our party is going to both compete in the short term and build for the long term, we're going to have to do things differently.

The Republicans raise more than $10 million a month in huge checks from special interests and lobbyists. They have created a money-for-influence machine unlike anything our country has ever seen.

A million of us contributing $20 a month can double their total. To do that, every single one of us will have to take ownership of this party. And that's exactly the point -- by making your Democracy Bond commitment, and encouraging people you know to do the same, you can shift the balance of power in our political process.
