House Party fundraisers have allowed us to keep up with the Bush-Cheney money
machine over the last few months. House parties are also important because they
bring new volunteers into the campaign -- volunteers who will be crucial to
winning in November.
Keep the momentum going! We've provided a house party kit, step by step guide,
and all the materials you need to make your house party a success.
