Georgia for Dean 10 Year Reunion - Because "You Have the Power!"
Ten years ago, a random bunch of citizens gathered in Georgia and transformed American politics forever. Georgia For Dean is having a reunion at Manuel's Tavern tonight, July 26 at 7:00 p.m. in the back bar -- back in the same place we gathered those years ago.
Team members are flying in from all over the nation to celebrate at the place where it all began. Others will be Skyping in to the event.

This is a team that created a blue print used by both Barrack Obama's campaign team and The Tea Party.
Georgia For Dean was the lynch pin grassroots organization among 9 original state interest groups who began connecting through Yahoo! Groups. Georgia For Dean established the national grassroots efforts and key mechanisms which helped turn a dark horse candidate into a major force for change within the Democratic Party.
Achievements of Georgia For Dean:
- First to create and utilize online fundraising (The Bat!)
- Clay Johnson (GFD co-founder) later co-founded Blue State Digital, the juggernaut fundraising and campaign management oranization
