Rebuilding the Democratic Party from the Grassroots: The Ultimate Guidebook for Democrats (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780595356201)

Following the presidential election of 2004, many believed the Democratic Party had reached the lowest point in its history. Rebuilding the Democratic Party from the Grassroots offers a definitive blueprint for reversing that course and returning the Democratic Party to its roots and its core values. Authors Drucilla Badurina and Shawn O'Donnell seek to restore the Democratic Party to the party for the average American and the traditional party for a new century.

With its candid, flowing style, Rebuilding the Democratic Party from the Grassroots explains how John Kerry, the last Democratic presidential candidate, lost the national election. It also illustrates campaign realities with in-depth examples of what actually happened, proposes solutions for bottom-up election reform, and offers a specific plan to reinvent and reinvigorate the Democratic Party.

Rebuilding the Democratic Party from the Grassroots is the ultimate guidebook for taking the Democratic Party back to its future, back to its values, and back to the people.

'The Democratic Party needs a vibrant, forward-thinking, long-term presence in every single state and we must be willing to contest every race at every level. We will only win when we show up and fight for the issues important to all of us."
-Governor Howard Dean, M.D., Announcement for Democratic National Committee Chair
