I give up - again. I cannot get enrolled for e-mail from DFA. I posted

[patricia92243]

this complaint here at DU before, and someone suggested I contribute a small sum. I did. Got a thank you e-mail from them pronto - then nothing. The only way I know that they are sending e-mails is that my boss gets them.

I am finally getting aggravated. The website says to invite your friends to enroll - I hope they have better luck than I have had.

Bah, humbug :(

1. Have you tried to call Headquarters?

That's what I'd do.

[patricia92243]

3. Hadn't thought of that. I'll do it, but others will not. I am a 100%

Dean supporter and hate to see his organization losing members and money thru his staff not manning their website efficiently.

4. You know what?

That is unfair. I sent a story to the blog late late last night, and I heard back almost immediately. They had the story up this morning, about the KY senate.

I have written many times and always get a response.

5. I just went to their website AGAIN and in the place thats says "Contact Us

explained my problem AGAIN. Did you already belong to Dean for America? I did and changed ISP and cannot access my old e-mail. Also, that is the way I had enrolled my boss - through the old Dean for America website.

Just wondered if you joined through Dean for America or Democracy for America?

Never could understand how to blog and if I have to join a blod seperately from DFA, I'll kill myself (just kidding of course)

6. I second the suggestion of calling headquarters.

This sounds confusing, and you could waste a lot of time otherwise.

2. your not missing anything

don't worry about it

7. Here is one of the mails I received, this one today.

There are not a lot, but he did mail out his announcement.
There will be more.

Dear......,

Since Governor Dean has entered the race for DNC Chair, thousands of you have been asking in email and on the blog: what comes next? I wanted to write to you about how the process works, how we can win and -- most importantly -- how you can help.

Here's how the process works: less than a month from today, on February 12, the 447 members of the Democratic National Committee (made up of leaders from across the country) will meet to select a new chairman. Between now and their vote, DNC members from various states will be holding a series of forums and listening sessions to hear from candidates and grassroots Democrats -- these events have already begun.

As Governor Dean crisscrosses the country, he will try to meet face-to-face with as many DNC members as possible. He has a strategy for this race not unlike his strategy for our party's future -- stand up for what you believe, make a clear case for reform, and fight for every single vote.

Other candidates for DNC Chair have put together high-powered slates of wealthy fundraisers to support their campaigns. That's not how we do things. By relying on financial support from small donors, Governor Dean will be accountable only to you. Make a contribution now to support his candidacy -- and to show that we really mean it when we say we want a Democratic Party accountable to the people:

The plan for nonstop person-to-person outreach to DNC members requires relentless travel, staff resources, and materials to inform voting members about Governor Dean, his record, and his plan to rebuild a lasting Democratic majority.

Governor Dean wants a Democratic Party that competes in all 50 states every single year -- not just 18 states every four years. He wants a Democratic Party that thrives on grassroots energy and stops putting our fate in the hands of consultants who lose elections over and over again. He wants a party that stands for reform.

We can't afford to let superficial pundits, the Republican spin machine, or insiders addicted to the status quo define this race -- the stakes are too high. Governor Dean needs your help to put his record of leadership and his plan for fundamental change in front of DNC members.

Please contribute whatever you can to help:

You can also help support the campaign by doing what you do best -- organizing in your local community. On January 20, George Bush will spend tens of millions of dollars celebrating with his richest supporters. That same night you can host your friends for your own party -- celebrating the victories of progressive candidates up and down the ballot.

You helped elect Dean Dozen candidates across the country -- a Governor in Montana, a Mayor in Utah, and an African-American woman to the bench in Alabama -- along with dozens of other fiscally responsible, socially progressive candidates at every level of office. And your hard work helped more people vote to replace George Bush than any other sitting president in history. Democracy for America has a lot to celebrate.

Most of all your parties will support Governor Dean's campaign for DNC Chair in the crucial weeks before the vote. We've launched brand new tools to make it easier than ever to invite your friends over and plan your party -- get started right now:

This race will be tough. Some people would rather have a position of influence in a losing party than make the reforms necessary to build a lasting majority. We may not win this race, but we can only achieve change if we step into the fray and fight for it. Together we could shape not only the future of the Democratic Party but the future of our country -- so let's get to work.

Thank you.

Tom McMahon
Executive Director
Democracy for America
