(PRWEB) October 28, 2006 -- WeDemocrats is a new organization, they began as a local group that within months became statewide in Illinois, then others, mainly members of Democracy for America, the grassroots organization began by Gov. Howard Dean began joining, so membership was opened to DFA members on Oct. 5th, 2006. Democracy For America (DFA) is now headed by, Gov. Dean's brother Jim Dean, while the Governor is now head of the Democratic National Committee.

Three weeks after starting, the group now has 750+ members in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The National Steering Committee is projecting over 1,000 members by Election Day November 7th.

WeDemocrats an independent political group, which finds, trains, and supports fiscally responsible and socially progressive candidates at all levels of office across the country. They claim to harness the power of an enormous grassroots network to get these candidates elected and to work towards positive change from the bottom up.

"Our goal is to educate the American public about the disastrous record of the current Republican Government, and to create a positive issue environment for the success of a progressive agenda", said Ron McBride, founder and organizer of the organization.

"Despite the fact that a significant majority of Americans are dissatisfied with the current direction of the country, the Republican leadership in Washington continues to pursue and enact a right wing, special interest agenda, contrary to the wishes and expectations of their constituents." McBride said.

"In 2006, WeDemocrats' objective is to shine the spotlight on Republican members of Congress, through aggressive advocacy campaigns aimed at educating and informing the public about these members' voting records, issue positions and ethical behavior." He continued.

Inspired by the presidential campaign of Howard Dean, and his Democracy for America, WeDemocrats was formed as a political action committee as well as a coalition of progressive groups, dedicated to supporting fiscally responsible, socially progressive candidates at all levels of government—from school board to the presidency.

"DFA has 886 chapters in all states and D.C.", said McBride, "but there are over 3,000 counties in the United States. WeDemocrats will be electing County Coordinators in each county, and State Coordinators in each State, giving us the ability to coordinate between the educational endeavors of DFA and the Democratic Party."

WeDemocrats is headquartered at 6155 Flatt Woods Road, in Simpson, Johnson County, Illinois. Join WeDemocrats at: http://dfalink.com/group.php?id=2043
