Like many of you, he wasn�t very political until recently. He was drawn into political life because of his deep concern for the credibility of our political process.
He believes in protecting every vote and protecting our democracy from corruption like Tom DeLay�s money-for-influence machine. Most importantly he believes in amplifying your role in our political process.
Like Jim, Tom Hughes -- the new Executive Director -- has spent the last several months as one of the primary networkers for the DFA grassroots. Many of you already know Tom -- those of you who don't will soon know his energy, enthusiasm and passion for the people of this organization.
DFA will continue to be your place to support socially progressive, fiscally responsible candidates. That process will soon be gearing up -- you will be an important part of it. And you will hear more from Jim and Tom soon about how DFA can help your local organization.
