Message from the Chair
Join us tonight at Avo's back patio to honor and thank Senator Bob Bacon and Beverly Schmitt for all of their contributions to our community. Senator Bacon will be missed at the legislature.
We are fortunate to have strong candidates who will continue to represent our values and fight for good policy in Denver. Barackfast this Sunday will feature James Shelton. Come for a delicious, hearty breakfast and help James Shelton in his bid for HD 49.
John Kefalas and Joann Ginal are canvassing neighborhoods and talking to voters. Spend a few hours walking for your candidates to help ensure we get the representatives we deserve. If calling is more your style, join an Obama phone bank. A few hours of volunteering can make a huge difference!
--Anne Wilseck
"In the end, that's what the presidency's all about:
Your character. Your convictions. And one more important thing:
It's about your vision for the future of America"
--Vice President Joe Biden,
Speaking to the NAACP July 12, 2012

Campaign News
Sunday, July 22:
Barackfast for James Shelton
James Shelton is a Democrat that grew up in Mississippi. He has a young family and is a hard worker. Democrats are continuing to offer this district terrific candidates that match up well.This might be our year to take this one!
And what would this do? It would flip the House Majority. It would draw out every last vote in HD49 that we need for important races, like commissioner and President. It would provide palpable evidence that Colorado is purple, if not blue.
So come out for this event at my house. It should be a beautiful day. I expect to have some veganesque items for those that have had just too much bacon already...
No RSVP, no potluck. Any and all are invited; forward this to friends, or plan to meet friends here for breakfast!
Date & Time: Sunday, July 22, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm Location: 3401 Terryridge Road, Fort Collins
That's about 1.7-miles north on highway 1 toward Wellington, from the intersection of College/Hwy 287.
Park up on the highway and walk down if you can. I look forward to seeing you.
