Message from the Chair
Greetings!
 
I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to watching the first Democratic presidential debate tonight. I'm confident that the candidates will conduct themselves in a more professional fashion than certain candidates in the Republican debates, and that the discussion will be a lot more civil. That said, it will be good to hear the candidates engage with each other directly, and to hear them tell us why they are the one best fit to lead our country.
 
Feel free to share your thoughts on the debate with us on our new Facebook page: and don't forget to "Like" and "Share" the page with others if you haven't already, so you can get all the latest on elections, party news (including future debate watching parties), and next year's State Democratic Convention in Loveland.
 
 
Thank you for supporting the Larimer Dems!

EDUCATION, INC.
A documentary film about how money and politics are changing our schools.  It examines the free-market and for-profit interests that have been quietly and systematically privatizing America's public education system under the banner of "school choice".  It is told through the eyes of parent and documentary film maker Brian Malone.  It paints a clear picture of profit and politics that's sweeping across the nation, right under our noses.

Location:     Pulliam Building 
                    545 Cleveland Avenue, Loveland
