Do you ever feel like you play Bingo every first Tuesday in November?  2a, 2b, 2c, and 2d as well as 1a and 1b are not games.  But if the voters choose wisely, we can all win.

Join the Longmont Area Democrats Wednesday October 7th for a presentation and
discussion of the ballot items Longmont voters will be facing.

What: Longmont Area Democrats Monthly Meeting
Where: Front Range Community College (Longmont Campus – Community Room) 2190 Miller Dr. 
When: 7pm to 9pm
Why: The 2009 all mail-in ballot is not nearly as long winded as some previous
years.  However, there are some critical issues that the Longmont and Boulder
County are facing.

For example did you know that there is an item on the ballot that will allow voters to
decide if Longmont could be allowed to provide cable and Internet services?
(Issue 2C)?

Come and be a part of the LAD city election follow-up as we discuss all of the
items on the 2009 ballot.
