WeDemocrats.org is the "largest grassroots-netroots connected network of democratic activists and voters in the history of the internet". WeDemocrats.org or WeDems as is commonly used when referring to the Organization, began as a local precinct organization in May, 2006, when four friends from Johnson County sat around in WeDems Founder Ron McBride’s living room, discussing how they could get Local County Democrats to run for office. WeDems is operated by an all volunteer staff of Coordinators in all 50 states and D.C. And today is independent of DFA.
