In 2004, the Democratic Party was the largest political party, with 72 million voters (42.6% of 169 million registered) claiming affiliation. An August 2008 estimate is that 51% of registered voters, including independents, lean toward the Democratic Party and 38% lean toward the Republican Party.

Since the 2006 midterm elections, the Democratic Party is the majority party for the 110th Congress; the party holds an outright majority in the House of Representatives and the Democratic caucus (including two independents) constitutes a majority in the United States Senate. Democrats also hold a majority of state governorships and control a plurality of state legislatures.

With these kinds of numbers AND our new President and Vice President, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Democrats are in a great position to make the changes Americans so desperately need.

It's time for change. It's time for the 72 million registered Democrats to join together to encourage new voters to register. It's time for all 72 million of us to work for our candidates and work for the ideals of our party to ensure our country's future.
