On November 8, 2003 Dean announced that Dean for America would not accept
public matching funds. The announcement came following a two-day
vote among his supporters. Dean announced the vote in a speech
at Cooper Union on November 6. The campaign e-mailed,
called
and even sent letters to over 600,000 supporters to encourage the vote.
104,746 supporters voted and 89,533 of them, or 85 percent, said the campaign
should forgo matching funds. (Never missing an opportunity, Dean
for America also took in $5.3 million in contributions and pledges during
the two days). Not content to merely announce the outcome, Dean for
America held a ceremony at the University of Vermont at which Dean and
seven supporters from around the country signed a "Declaration
of Independence by the People of Dean for America."
