Who: Rich Jones, Director of Policy and Research from the Bell Policy Center
Where: 723 Main St.

Why: In many ways, it won’t matter who gets elected in Colorado if Ballot Issues 60, 61, and 101 pass. The state will have no discretion for any funding. Please take some time to learn about these issues.

2) Progressive Pizza Night at 723 Main St.
I was trying to think of what to call this event. Pepperoni and Politics? Calzones and Canvassing? Anchovies and Phone Banking?
If you have a better idea for this title, come on by and give me your suggestion (I already told the Republicans that Sausage and Socialism has already been ruled out). I mean come on, who wants government pizza?
What: Come make phone calls and knock on doors for our Democratic Candidates and afterwords, join me for Pizza (on me!).
Where: 723 Main St. Longmont
When: Sept. 29 at 5:00pm – 9pm (Pizza at 8:30)
3) How to Help Our Candidates Win (and stop the Tea Party) at 723 Main St.
Just in case you weren’t fired up about the 2010 election season, here is a quote from Tea Partier Glenn Beck:
– Voter Guide:
The Boulder County Democrats hand out a voter guide to all Democrats in Boulder County every year. This explains their position on the Candidates and all the Ballot Issues.
Help Collate and Deliver this critical piece of information.
Voter Guide Stuffing/Collating – Sept. 29, 30, Oct. 1st. Drop in anytime between 10am-8pm to help.
Lit Delivery – Oct. 2nd/3rd & Oct. 9th/10th at 10am and 1pm
Where: You guessed it, 723 Main St.

Personal Note:
I know a lot of you are working really hard to elect our candidates. 2008 was a cakewalk compared to 2010 in terms of effort. But that doesn’t mean that we don’t have time to laugh!
