Democracy for America Group Check In.

[Califooyah Operative]

Check in please. I wanna see where from, and hopefully also find some californias as well, and from my area would be even better, hehe,

Where are you from?
I'm from Tracy, Ca -central valley, east east east east east bay, hehe, near stockton, manteca, lathrop, modesto, etc.

are you active in democracy for america in the sense the you go to/have meetup/belong to a local chapter? if so give some info/insight. If not do you plan to?
I have not been active in that sense, but am very interested in becoming so. I do plan to, this is my main reason for this post, i wanna see where the members of this group are, and see if anyones even near me here, regardless, i wanna try and get some sort of democracy for america group going here locally, since when i did the search on the website there was nothing near, and they offer many ways to go about networking with folks.

1. You may wanna post a similar query in the California (state forum)

Dean has a lot of supporters in CA. I am from Richmond, KY (originally upstate NY). I can't go to meetups because they're in Lexington (about 45 minutes drive) and I have no transportation. I try to keep up what is discussed in meetups here and at DFA blog.

2. I'm from Colorado.

I go to meetups in Boulder when I can. I may be moving in the next six months or so, but I'll find DFA where I'm going.

5. Jeez Louise!

I wish there was a way to stop these "introduce yourself" threads from sinking.

That said: I'm from the beautiful blue state Michigan!

I have been going to meet-ups since before Dean declaredhis candidacy in the primaries. Now I go to DFA meet-ups. Sometimes I go to the larger one in a nearby community, but we just got a small one started in my county, and I think the peeps are ready to rumble.
I suggest you mosey into the nearest DFA meet-up (usually held during the first week of every month) and see what you can see. Try it, you'll LOVE it.

6. I'm in San Diego.

I went to my first DFA meeting recently. It was great! I definitely plan to attend more. I missed December, but heard there were over 120 people there.

Are you in CA? If so, I'll be at the state convention in LA as a delegate April 12-15.

11. IronLionZion checking in

from Somerset, PA, attending college at RIT in Rochester, NY. I've gone to a few meetups but wish I had time to be more active. School and work take up too much of my time. It would be so much easier to just be a mindless dittohead :P

DFA is an excellent group and will be a vehicle for progressive change for years to come. This is no "flavor of the month" people. This is for the long term.

15. I'm Ma'at, and I go to the Temecula DFA in Southern Cal.

We are just north of San Diego. I have been to two meetings, and a election fraud rally (with my similarly-minded DFA compatriots). It sure has been a boost of positive energy in the arm, so-to-speak.

The Cle meetups interfere with my other meetings and the local group is not too big. I am concentrating my efforts on a clean air program at the moment. cough.
