Howard Dean was all that and a bag of chips. In creating Democracy for America, he built the nation's biggest face-to-face progressive organization. There are bigger progressive groups like People for the American Way, but they're virtual -- the members write checks and letters, but mostly stay home.

DFA members have been meeting regularly for 4 years and take personal, direct action. Members run for office, make phone calls, knock on doors, lobby officeholders, stage visibility events and more. Gov. Dean said he was from the "Democratic wing of the Democratic Party" and DFA has played a significant part in rebuilding the party.
