Take Back Our Country with Valley Grassroots for Democracy

Valley Grassroots for Democracy is committed to secure the ongoing resources the Democratic Party needs each month, and we are trying to get there with Democracy Bonds. By getting your Democracy Bond, you're making a commitment to make a monthly contribution the Democratic Party in order to:

• Reform the political process by building a political party beholden only to the people, not the special interests
• Build the Democratic Party from the ground up in every precinct so that we can compete everywhere
• Compete in the so-called "Red States" and bring the fight to the Republicans
• Through the 50-State Strategy, win elections in every state and territory of the United States, at every level of office

Governor Howard Dean launched the Democracy Bonds program because he believes that we can take our country back -- precinct by precinct, block by block, with every Democrat taking responsibility for getting their family, friends and neighbors involved.

You can commit any amount you want per month and it's automatically charged to your credit card. $10, $20, $100...whatever you can afford and you can change the contribution amount if you need to. The principle is democratic with a small-d -- one person, one bond. Every person can be a stakeholder in our party. And by making a contribution to this page you can show the San Fernando Valley's commitment to winning across the country.

You may be thinking, "$20 a month? That won't make a difference!" If just 1% of the people who voted for John Kerry gave $20 a month we would match the money Republicans raise from corporate interests and lobbyists. The steady stream of donations also makes budgeting and planning easier for the party. Why would they hire an organizer in a "Red State" if they didn't know they could pay them a few months down the road? Howard Dean's 2004 campaign showed the power of the grassroots and of lots of small contributions, so it's been proven that this strategy works. And isn't it easier to give $20 every month than plunk down $240?

So join us and support us in winning back Congress in November and rebuilding the party from the precinct up. Click on the blue thermometer above and together we can take our country back!
