Mid-term Elections are like mid-term tests. If you fail your mid-term test, you will probably fail the class. If we fail the mid-term elections, we will fail to see a progressive future.
Democrats have just started to show what they can do. We are no longer losing 750,000 jobs a month and health care has been expanded to millions more children – all while cutting taxes. I’m not ready to turn my back on these gains, I want to keep moving our country forward!

“Republicans have been accused of abandoning the poor. It’s the other way around. They never vote for us.” - Dan Quayle
Voter Guides are flying out the Office and onto the front doors of people rich and poor alike, but we still need your help. In 2008, there were 100 volunteers for every voter. This year, the numbers have flipped. The issues have not changed. So let’s get out there and VOLUNTEER: http://www.

The Next 3 weeks days will determine the next 10 years. With Congressional Redistricting in Republican sights, a Republican win in 2010 would change the face of Colorado Politics until 2020!

Breaking News in Longmont:
Have, your friends been asking you how to vote? All of those state and local intiatives seem like a bingo game gone wrong. I just tell them “anything with a letter is likely better.”
If that doesn’t work, the Boulder County Dems have an online Voter Guide:
http://bouldercountydems.org/election2010/docs/2010VoterGuide.pdf
In this email:
1.) Bennet and Udall in Longmont Friday
2.) Volunteer Opportunities for the Election
3.) Thoughts for Council Member Doug Brown
1.) Bennet and Udall in Longmont Friday
Nita Lynch sent me this email earlier today. She will have the great fortune of getting to introduce our Senator Friday afternoon at 723!
This will likely be our last chance to send Senator Bennet off with our good wishes and enthusiasm. Please come out during your lunch hour in Longmont and show him the big support that he has in Longmont!
This is not a fundraiser but is a chance to chat with him and show him that we are in this battle with him to the very end. The race is truly neck and neck and Michael has picked up valuable polling points in the last few weeks. Our calls and door knocking are making a difference. He needs every one of us out there.
Nita Lynch
2.) Volunteer Opportunities for the Election (poll checkers needed): Now!!!!
If you are interested in being a Poll Checker for the election, Candace Bowie has asked for help.
- NOV 2 POLL CHECKER PLAN AND INSTRUCTIONS
A poll checker is one or more person from your precinct who receives credentials from BCDP/County Clerk to be inside your precinct polling place and see the slips of paper that the Election Judges keep as people vote, and to use these slips to check off who has voted.
It’s about getting one more vote, then one more and one more until 7pm Nov 2!
Email Candace Bowie at field@bouldercountydems.org if you are interested in helping on Election Day
- Congresswoman Betsy Markey and Senator Michael Bennet:
Could use your help! Recent polls have them tied with their opponents.
You can help contact voters any day between 10am-8pm at 723 Main St.

3.) Thoughts for Council Member Doug Brown
Many of you have spent a lot of time with former Council Member Doug Brown and his wife Mary.
He has served on numerous boards and commissions while working hard to protect Longmont’s environment
There recently was a great Times Call article about his life and his battle with Stage IV Cancer
http://www.timescall.com/news_story.asp?ID=23314
Recently his health has taken a turn for the worse and will likely being going to Hospice Care soon.
Council Member Brown interviewed me for a vacancy on the Planning and Zoning Commission several years ago.
I was lucky enough to be appointed. I was in my mid-twenties at the time and a little nervous about working with people twice my age. Knowing I had Council Member Brown’s support encouraged me to keep speaking my mind and get more involved in local government.
Send Doug and Mary your thoughts here:
Doug Brown & Mary Nell Brown
1448 Hilltop Dr
Longmont, CO 80504-3011
