A DNC lesson on how to alienate your most loyal supporters:

Dear Friend of Foolproof,
As many of you know, Governor Howard Dean was signed to appear at a benefit for Foolproof's American Voices on March 6. When he cancelled his
appearance 10 days before that event, we were assured that he would reschedule. We have now
learned that while he is speaking at a fund-raiser
for the Democratic National Committee in Seattle on April 13, he has denied us the opportunity to reschedule what was to be the fundraiser for this year's American Voices series.

Obviously this is a real disappointment and major setback to all of us. It has also left American Voices with a big financial problem, but we
persevere to bring diverse voices and viewpoints to the Seattle area. This is, however, extremely hard to do with the $20,000 in bills that this cancellation has left us with.
