DNC – Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
Some things change; some things stay the same. The constants are good. Howard Dean is staying on as the chair of the DNC.
However, as of yesterday, no contributions from lobbyists or PACs will be accepted by the DNC. Senator Obama announced it on the campaign trail today in Bristol, VA. Chairman Dean’s statement:
“Our presumptive nominee has pledged not to take donations from Washington lobbyists and from today going forward the DNC makes that pledge as well,” Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said in a statement. “The American people’s priorities will set the agenda in an Obama Administration, not the special interests.”
I made a vow that I would make a contribution to the DNC when they did the right thing. To me, “the right thing” was sorting out the Michigan and Florida delegate debacles, and standing up to the political machine of the Clintons through the entire primary season.
Yesterday’s announcements, along with the RBC meeting on Saturday, satisfied both of those requirements. I have made my donation to the DNC today and hope you will, too.
