The Dean/DNC Anniversary celebration continues

Howard says "Thank you." (Video)

FYI, there's a newer post, about DickCheney, below this one. I just couldn't bear to have that guy's mug at the top of the blog, so I bumped this post back up.

In response to Corinne's post Howard Dean: Promises Kept, New Hampshire Representative Marcia Moody wrote the following.

Yes, Thank YOU Howard Dean. In addition to your list of Howard's accomplishments in his first year as Chairman of the DNC, he also established a Lawyer's Council to investigate voting fraud. He created a Department of Veteran's Affairs all within the DNC. He is truly the most forward thinking man of this century.

I know of no other politician past or present who can equal his record of fulfilling every single campaign promise he ever made, whether as Legislator, Lt. Governor, Governor or as Chairman of the DNC.

As a freshman Legislator, I constantly draw upon him for inspiration and guidance on how I vote. I think to myself, "what would Howard do in this situation?" and then the path becomes clear to me. There are times when the pressure to compromise is almost unbearable. But then I think of the principles for which Howard Dean stands and how he never compromises what he knows to be right, and I know what I must do.

And, of course, thank you, Marcia, for being such an inspiration to the rest of us.

For more anniversary festivities, see Tim Tagaris' Kos diary, Democratic Party: Happy One Year Anniversary Howard Dean.

One year ago today, we officially elected Howard Dean as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee -- and I say we, because it was us. Who would have thought that 365 days later, Chairman Dean would walk into a packed house of state party chairs, executive directors, organizers and other officials to a standing ovation in appreciation of the "State Partnership Program" -- better known as the fifty state strategy.

For the next several days, we will have all kinds of video from state chairs, a personal video message from Chairman Dean to bloggers/online activists, and other assorted goodies in celebration of the past year.

Keep checking in at the DNC Blog.

Speaking of the DNC blog, you can watch Howard Dean's thank you message to bloggers and online activists here.
