Dear Friend,

The impact you have had on politics in this country is simply amazing. Everywhere I  go, people want to talk about the power of the grassroots--a power that you have  helped to demonstrate. Whenever I meet with elected officials, labor leaders, members  of civic organizations and other Americans, their number one question is, can the  grassroots sustain the momentum? Can we build a grassroots campaign large enough to  take on the special interests, win the nomination, and defeat President Bush in 2004?

I believe we can, but the next 42 days are a crucial time for us to prove that the  grassroots has the power to take our country back. Today, you stand with nearly  300,000 other Americans, united in our cause. Our goal is to have 450,000 American  supporters by September 30th. We are going to reach that goal by continuing to spread  our message that we are restoring the American community and our nation's role as an  idealistic moral force in world affairs.

To spread that message, we will be traveling to eight cities in four days as part of  our "Sleepless Summer Tour," beginning this Saturday, August 23rd. Please sign up to  attend if you live in a city we'll be visiting, or ask your friends who live nearby  to sign up and attend. You can find out more about the tour by clicking here:

This campaign is about bringing people together and standing up for the ideals and  freedoms that make us Americans. This Administration has unnecessarily compromised  those freedoms and ideals in the name of fighting terrorism.  Through the USA Patriot  Act, the Ashcroft Justice Department took advantage of the climate of fear that  followed the attacks of September 11 to adopt a series of anti-terror tactics that  go far beyond protecting our country and erode the rights of average Americans.

This week, Attorney General Ashcroft is touring the country to build support for his  'Victory Act,' which would expand the Patriot Act. Join me in taking a stand against  John Ashcroft's plans by clicking on the link below and signing the petition to stop  the passage of the Victory Act:

After you've signed the petition, forward this email on to everyone you know. We all  must stand together to demonstrate that the grassroots have the power to take our  country back.

Sincerely, 

Governor Howard Dean, M.D.
