Mainstreet Moms Endorse Gov. Howard Dean, MD, for DNC Chair

Mainstreet Moms (The MMOB) is a grassroots organization dedicated to increased political participation by women, especially as they identify and self-organize as mothers. The MMOB passionately supports Dr. Howard Dean as the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

(PRWEB) January 13, 2005 -- Megan Matson, California mother of three, and Director of The MMOB, announced today that her organization passionately supports Dr. Howard Dean as the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

His achievements expanding health care to virtually every child in Vermont would be enough to make him a hero to moms everywhere, but The MMOB especially shares Howard Deans mandate for all citizens to get involved locally and promote positive political change year round.

Last Saturday, MMOBster Janet Stromberg was elected as a Delegate from the 14th Assembly District to the California Democratic State Convention in April. Janet says, I ran because I'm a mom on a mission! My priorities: Grow Grassroots Power and Secure the Vote." Deans innovative presidential campaign, and the ongoing efforts of his Democracy for America (DFA) organization, helped many busy parents learn how to connect with their local Democratic Party structure.

TheMMOB.com offers a Bite-Sized Action so members can research and write to the DNC members in their own state. Included is a support sheet on why Dean has the perfect experience and clear vision to lead the DNC. With The MMOBs focus on one-to-one, heartfelt communication, letter writers tell their personal story of how Deans inspiration sparked their own community activism.

Bobbie Steinhart, a 65 year-old retired grandmother and volunteer Host Manager for The MMOB says, When Gov. Dean declared his candidacy for President, I became an activist for the first time in decades...Dean is a traditional and loyal Democrat. He should be rewarded for his phenomenal ability to raise unprecedented millions from small donors and mobilize the grassroots with his passionate call to affirm and campaign on behalf of our Partys core values."
