I am a Jimmy Carter Democrat, having worked on his campaign in 1976. I am a Deaniac. I support Barack Obama for President. I previously supported Hillary Clinton. My life has been a quest for patience, solitude and gratitude.
I was a supporter of Howard Dean in the Democratic primary contest in 2004. I volunteered as the "Senior Outreach Coordinator" for the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, from August 2003 through January 2004.
I considered myself to be a "Deaniac" as no presidential campaign had caught my attention, fueled my hope and inspired my participation since the 1976 Jimmy Carter campaign. Dean's progressive stands on LGBT issues and his early opposition to the war in Iraq made me a true believer in Howard Dean.
I made some wonderful friends on that campaign, and I still follow Howard Dean as Chair of the Democratic party. He has done a marvelous job as party Chair. His 50-state strategy took back congress in 2006, and it now appears that his strategy is going to be another winning one in November.
