Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Is this the same organization that Howard Dean started?
A.
The organization originated with the Dean campaign in 2004, and was originally organized to support his presidential run.  It was reformed after the November election in order to be a progressive voice on the Eastern shore of MD, and to advocate for progressive issues.

Q. Why not just join the Democrats?
A. While we frequently share values with the Democratic Party, we believe that both the major parties have been tainted and compromised unduly by the influence of corporations, and the need to raise large amounts of money.  Reducing the influence of Corporate money is vital to the preservation of democracy, and we will support candidates who show by their records and their votes that they will represent the people, not the corporations.

Q. What does it cost to join?
A. At present, nothing but your time and enthusiasm. Any decision to charge a membership fee or dues will be a matter to be voted on by the active membership.

Q. What makes you think you can change anything?
A. We can't if we don't try.
