Message from the Chair
We're a week out from ballot mailing and we're just getting warmed up on our Vote The Whole Ballot message. That message is meaningful because Larimer's favorite daughter, the Honorable Betsy Markey, is running to clean up the Colorado Treasurer's office. One of the reasons that our former Congresswoman has to go do this is because some voters did not vote their whole ballot in 2010 and we ended up with a bad treasurer. Well, he's a really bad treasurer when he shows up for work, which is only part time, and I suppose we ought to be grateful that he's only bad part time. Now we have a chance to have a really good full time treasurer if we spread the word about voting the whole ballot. We're going to have to spread the word full time, not part time... just go to the details below and support Betsy Markey for Colorado State Treasurer.
--William Russell

"The majority of Americans already support expanding marriage equality nationwide and I remain confident that it is only a matter of time before we achieve this common-sense goal. I will continue to work to advance the rights of all Americans to marry who they love and offer my congratulations to all couples who will be able to legally marry as a result of the Court's decision!"
--Congressman Jared Polis
