- Passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act

- Passage of Hate Crimes Prevention Act

I Betsy Markey for Congress Strategy Meeting in Longmont April 21st

This November, we can’t afford to lose the passion, dedication and principled leadership Betsy has represented us with since being elected. And, thanks to the efforts of all the phenomenal volunteers this District, we won’t. However, we must continue to organize neighborhood by neighborhood, block by block, until we send Betsy back to Congress.
Will you join me in being a part of this movement for Betsy?

I. VP in Weld County 4-30-10
II. Upcoming LAD Meeting 5-5-10
III. Other Events
a. Cinco de Mayo / Immigration March
b. Help Betsy Markey 5-2-10
c. Romanoff Event
I. Vice President Biden was in Weld County today
with Rep. Betsy Markey, Sen. Mark Udall, and Gov. Ritter. I was pleased to see so many people come out to see them at UQM. UQM is a local business that makes electric and hybrid engines. They were able to expand their business and hire more workers in large part due to a government grant throught the ARRA (American Reinvestment and Recovery Act).
The federal government helped to spur American ingenuity into American prosperity. I am glad that our Longmont City Council was invited to this premier event, and even more excited that they came to support local business in addition to the Vice-President Biden’s ARRA. If companies like UQM and Abound Solar continue their great works (spurred in part by the federal government), they will have to change the name of the Carbon Valley to the Carbon-free Pinnacle!
-Jonathan Singer, President LAD
