New Book Out Soon: “The Tea Is In The Harbor”
Scott
Goldstein, a DFA 2.0 intern, and active member of Generation Dean, has
announced that his new book, “The Tea Is In The Harbor,” will be out in October.
“The Tea
is in the Harbor” discusses the fight for Democracy in America, the
role of the Howard Dean Presidential campaign, and the work still ahead
to take back our Democracy. The book begins with the history of
Democracy, coming from the system first used by the Ancient Greeks, and
how the Americans came to adopt and change that system.

Five-month Anniversary of Blog for Iowa
My how
time flies. Today, Blog for Iowa is five months old. In
spite of the fact that we didn’t have any big events (such as the
Democratic State Convention in June and the Democratic National
Convention in July) that created spikes in our readership as in
previous months, we still broke our record
with 35,527 page views in
August.
I’d like
to take this opportunity to thank the many, many contributors to Blog
for Iowa, without whom I’d just be sitting at my computer, posting into
the ether.
