Message from the Chair
The next 26 days are critical in our fight against the right wing recall of our duly elected Colorado State Senators John Morse and Angela Giron. Larimer's Democratic actitivists can protect our democracy by getting involved now. Help get the word out and tell voters to vote No on the recalls. They are three ways that Larimer Democratic activists can fight the special interests that are pouring their money into our state; you can go to the districts of these popular senators to knock doors, you can call your own phone from your house, or you can donate a few of your dollars to help get the word out. Please visit www.codemsenate.com and do what you can to preserve Colorado's democracy.
Say No to the recall, say No to the right wing special interests and their interference in our state legislature.
--William Russell
"A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward."
