From the Desk of Howard Dean
2004 Presidential Candidate for the United States of America

January 28, 2003

I want to thank Meetup.com for creating a platform for people to organize
around the issues we all care about.

I hope to attend Meetups of my supporters as I travel the nation, and my
campaign will provide suggested issues that need to be discussed, as well as
ask for organizational help to build our campaign at future Meetups.

One issue that I think is appropriate for the February 5th Meetup is the
pending war with Iraq. I hope that those who attend will look at positions
of all the Democratic candidates for President on the war, and square it
with the vote they cast on the Iraqi Resolution that gave President Bush a
blank check to prosecute the war when he decides to do so. I opposed the
Iraqi Resolution and believe the President must make his case to the
American people before sending our armed forces in harms way.

Please visit my website at www.deanforamerica.com and I hope to see you at a
future Meetup!

Thank You
Howard Dean
