The Bush administration "fixed" the facts leading to Iraq and made virtually no plans for an exit strategy. The American public has been lied to, but you'll hear barely a peep about it on the news. So we asked the DFA community earlier this week to tell us how to make the Downing Street Memo and the Secret UK Eyes Only briefing paper--and their implications--more widely-known.
Thousands of ideas have been submitted so far, and Democracy for America will use the funds raised to spread the word about these two documents. If America's mainstream media isn't going to pick up the story, then we're going to take matters into our own hands. We have the power, right?

Here's your chance to show your appreciation to Howard Dean, by contributing to Democracy for America, the organization founded by Howard Dean.
Here's what DFA has to say about the bat:
You asked for it... and here it is.
We've brought back the DFA bat!

Democrats on the Way Back!
Guess who stopped by Democracy for America headquarters today for lunch?
From Howard Dean:
I just read Renee's blog post from yesterday. First of all, thank you! Second, it's great to see the DFA community still out there and vocal in defense of America and the ideal of American community. Third, thank you for defending me personally. I suppose it is a victory for us when the Vice-President disses your mother (it shows what the Republican leadership's values really are) but it is a disappointment nonetheless.
The real story is that the Democrats are on the way back. At the DNC we are raising money, putting people in the field, learning how to frame the debate, putting together a message as opposed to a list of issues, and setting up a communications apparatus (inspired by the Rapid Response Network) where we can be on the air everywhere with a united message. Most of all, we are fighting back!
