Message from the Chair
We're almost two weeks from ballots and that means we're planning GOTV. If you don't have a plan to help the Democratic candidate that inspires you the most, call us. We have lots to do and many contacts to make during the final weeks of this general election. The first message is the same: Support all your Democratic candidates with your vote as soon as you receive your ballot, vote your whole ballot, and turn it in as soon as possible. The second message, after you've voted, is new: Anyone can support good public policy here in Larimer County and all of Colorado by registering and voting where you live right up to and including November 4th. Please guide everyone you know to www.larimer.org/elections for more information.
For those of you that understand the beauty of picking up a Democratic seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, please help Speaker Romanoff when he appears in Loveland this weekend. Details below.
For those of you that understand the beauty of helping create more common sense solutions with our team in Denver, please take time for the happy hour fundraiser for the House Majority Project listed below. 
--William Russell

"Instead of creating conditions conducive to job growth, Congress has become part of the problem. A series of fiscal crises on Capitol Hill has 
shaken consumer confidence and left employers uncertain about the future.The government shutdown in 2013 cost our economy an estimated $24 billion."
--Andrew Romanoff
