WASHINGTON - The Democratic National Committee (news - web sites) raised $3.4 million in three weeks — more than double the amount raised during the same time in 2001 after President Bush (news - web sites) was first elected, the new Democratic chairman said Monday.

Chairman Howard Dean (news - web sites) is working to keep Democrats competitive with a national Republican Party that had a 6-1 cash advantage at the beginning of February. In January, the GOP raised $10.5 million.

The former Vermont governor also has been helping state parties raise money. He made an appearance at a Mississippi fund-raiser March 1 that brought in $90,000 and one in Kansas that netted $45,000.

The DNC has raised nearly $9.6 million in 2005 — less than half the total raised by the Republican National Committee (news - web sites) in that time.

7. My only question is this...

Is he willing to break the teacups? And change politics in America forever?

I don't know if it would work here... but if the rethugs steal the elections of '06 and '08 could he get a million party activists to decend on DC? Could we have our own Orange Revolution?

10. I Second That Thought!!!

I recently donated money to the DNC even though I said I wasn't going to... but with Dean, I just HAD to do it!

I was so distressed by what the Bushies and THE MEDIA did to him that I was so Gung-HO for him to head the DNC!! And it WAS "US" that did it. We The People of the Democratic Party. Had we not been so vocal, we would have had another "hand-picked" Dem from the DLC!

We DID GOOOOOOOOD!

11. Dean is on the job. The results are already coming in

I was counting on this from Dean, and I didn't think he would fail. There are many of us willing to work harder and give more with Dean as our Chair.

I made my first ever donation the day Dean was elected as chair and I was so proud. Give em hell Howard! You speak for us and we got your back.
