Democracy for Long Island has its roots in Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign. Dean's campaign inspired many citizens to become involved in grassroots politics and at the conclusion of the campaign, he transformed his organization into Democracy for America with many of the independent grassroots Dean group reinventing themselves around a commitment to progressive values and political action. Democracy for Long Island is volunteer-operated local organization and does not receive funds from Democracy for America. |
