Message from the Chair
This is the last week to pick up your $20 reservations for the Larimer County Democrats Annual Picnic. Congressman Jared Polis is looking forward to meeting each and every one of our guests. We will be hearing from Angelika Schroeder and all of our Larimer County candidates. RSVP for this price and an expanded menu of Colorado products by the end of business on September 5th at www.LarimerDems.org. Click on the hamburger to meet all of our candidates and hang with the hardest campaigning volunteers in Colorado.
We witnessed the first time an American President visited Larimer County, and we're proud to have distributed thousands of slate cards listing our Democratic candidates. The crowd exceeded everyone's estimate at 13,000. To all of our event volunteers: Thank you for your outreach to this very important CSU community; there are votes for President Obama and all of our candidates in your efforts. In case you missed President Obama's great speech, 9News has posted a full video of the president's speech. If you have pictures from President Obama's trip to CSU, email them to photos@larimerdems.org. We'll post them in the photo gallery on our website.
--William Russell
"If we win Colorado, we will win this election. If we win Fort Collins, we will win this election. We win Fort Collins, and we'll finish what we started."
