Tonight I was pleasantly surprised in San Francisco.  At a meeting of local Democratic clubs from three counties, Donnie Fowler Jr. (who ran against Dean for DNC chairman last winter) spoke glowingly of Dean's early moves to change the DNC for the better. But he also said that too many Demz in DC are not giving the Chairman the chance to succeed, namely that they are not getting the attention they want because Dean is trying to build state parties in a new way, not in the usual way (which has worked so well!).  

When asked what we in the Bay Area could do, Fowler said to continue organizing locally ("local people know better") and to let "the Governor" know that we are supporting his efforts.  Sounds like good advice to me.  Can someone tell me whom to write/email?  Who's in with me?
