Message from the Chair

It's still not too late to join us at our 2014 Larimer County Democrats Dinner and Silent Auction. Call the office at 970-689-6391 or go online at LarimerDems.org and sign up. We're going to have a great election year crowd, and our Silent Auction Committee has done a fantastic job at rounding up a large and diverse collection of goods, services and recreational opportunities. If you can't join us this Saturday, but would like to be a part of our 2014 campaign efforts, please contribute what you can or sign up at LarimerDems.org. We're going to work soon.

One of our Larimer County Legislators will be holding a community conversation this Saturday morning before our evening function. Like all of our Democratic representatives, Joann Ginal has been working hard in Denver on the economic, educational and environmental business of Colorado's families this session and would be happy to see you. See the details below.

--William Russell

 

"Now, next week, members of Congress have a fresh chance to show which side they're on. They're going to get a yes or no vote on raising the minimum wage all across this country. And they've got to make a clear choice: Talk the talk about valuing hardworking families, or walk the walk and actually value hardworking families. You've got a choice. You can give America the shaft, or you can give it a raise."

--President Barack Obama, 4.2.14
