Dean Surpasses $5 Million on the Internet BURLINGTON—Dean’s campaign announced today that as of July 21st, it has raised more than $5 million over the Internet in 2003. In addition, Dean’s massive grassroots campaign has continued to grow to more than 207,222 Americans across the country, with nearly 65,000 people signed up to attend monthly “Meetups” for Howard Dean.
“We are building the great grassroots campaign of the modern era,” Campaign Manager Joe Trippi said. “These 207,000 people are out in their communities everyday, talking to neighbors, passing out flyers at public events, and working to spread Howard Dean’s message of restoring the American community through the active participation of people in their own self-government.”
Dean’s strong financial support comes as a number of recent polls show the former Vermont governor surging ahead nationally and in key primary states. Dean is the only candidate contending for the lead in both Iowa and New Hampshire, and a Field Poll released today in California shows Dean in first place in the country’s most populous state.
