The final two weeks of June are now critical. At the Wisconsin State Democratic Convention last weekend, Howard Dean won an unofficial poll among the candidates, winning 203 votes to 50 for Senator John Kerry. We are making tremendous gains in Iowa and New Hampshire -- but everything you have helped us build depends to a large extent on how disciplined and focused we all are for the rest of this month.
There are four things we must do, and we have just two weeks in which to do them.
1. Contribute what you can today -- the FEC deadline is fast approaching
There are only 14 days left before the Federal Election Commission's fundraising report deadline of June 30th. There is no way to overstate the importance of this deadline. Please do everything you can to help Howard Dean raise money over the next two weeks. We have to outdo what we accomplished last quarter. Show the strength of our grassroots movement by contributing today:
2. Stand up and be counted: Register on our site for the June 23 Declaration Celebration
On June 23rd, in a speech to be broadcast across the Internet, Howard Dean will define what is at stake in the coming election and will lay out his vision for America. We want to use this day as a demonstration of the nationwide grassroots support for Howard Dean. There is only one way to prove our strength to the national media: stand up and be counted by registering for an event in your area. It does not matter if you are attending one of the bigger events that day, or watching a stream of the Celebration with a few friends at home, or even watching the stream at home by yourself; it's critically important that you sign up.

MoveOn.org, a massive grassroots organization with 1.4 million members, is holding a primary election on June 24. The candidate who wins more than 50% of the vote will receive MoveOn's endorsement. Whichever candidate wins the endorsement and increases their base by 1.4 million members will have an incredible advantage over the rest of the candidates in this race. We must help Governor Dean win this endorsement. Tell everyone you know to register to vote in the MoveOn primary. Register today:
Meetups have been the backbone of the campaign, and Meetup members are the soul of our movement. We need to make the July 2nd Meetup as large as possible. We have a plan we want to discuss with all of you at the July 2nd Meetup -- you can be a vital part of our campaign to take back the White House. Those who have not joined Meetup should do so now:
We have a long way to go, but if everyone helps us with these four critical steps, our campaign will move forward in a way that no one thought possible. For the rest of this month, it is vital that we focus our energy on bringing this campaign to the next level.
Please forward this e-mail to all Dean supporters -- or potential supporters -- that you know or are aware of. Send it to your friends, to your coworkers, and to online communities that you are a part of -- but please send it to someone.
