Dear xxxxxxxxx,

The staff and I have been reading through thousands upon thousands of replies (including yours) to my letter last week, and I wanted to report back to you on your impact.

Two things struck me as I read what you and other Democrats have to say about the future of our party.

One was the honesty I heard about your very practical concerns at the local level -- many wrote about starting a local party organization, or living in a heavily Republican area where it has been hard to get the resources to make a difference.

But we will meet those challenges -- because what stood out even more was the overwhelming energy and excitement at the grassroots of our party. So many Democrats can't wait to get started -- they want to grow our party from the ground up.

But our party will only succeed if you work to build it in your community. Thank you for committing to make it happen.

Governor Howard Dean, M.D.
Chairman, Democratic National Committee
