A Big Day for Candidate Dean
Posted on June 23, 2003 at 9:00 am | No Comments
At noon today, on the main street of my hometown, former Vermont Governor Howard Dean will officially announce his candidacy for the Presidency of the United States of America. The roadways are filling with Dean supporters, and the rally is hours away.
It’s a big day for all involved, and even for those who may not know it yet. If we’re lucky (and by we, I mean the entire population of the U.S.), this day will go down in history as the day that marked the beginning of a new era… when the guy who brought our country back from the brink officially threw his hat into a hard-fought and well-deserved victory.
Almost 13,000 people have officially registered to be part of the celebration today, at events in all fifty states, as well as virtual gatherings. I wish I could be up there in Burlington, rather than down here in Boston, but I’ll be watching the webcast at 1pm, and tuning in to as much coverage as I can. Given all the media attention he’s getting lately, Dean is clearly up with the front of the pack. Finally, today, the race is on.
According to ABC’s the Note : “Today, Howard Dean’s announcement speech will be seen live by more supporters than any announcement in the history of presidential politics….”.
To get involved in today’s countrywide party, head on over to the Dean Action Site and find out where the masses are gathering near you. When asked where you were on the day things started changing, you’ll be able to say “I was with the people who believed.”
