Jim Dean, DFA director, is a huge fan of Crooks and Liars and urges us all to stay involved and keep fighting.

Jim Dean has a message for Crooks and Liars readers.

Philadelphia progressives turned out last night at the South Philadelphia Taproom to support Democracy for America, and to hear Gov. Howard Dean rally the troops for this year's congressional midterms.

The former Vermont governor told activists he understood that they were angry, "but you can be as pissed off as you want after Nov. 5th."
