A new year, a new beginning.  A new opportunity for us to carry the Democratic message of prosperity, opportunity and freedom to families in Douglas County.  This year, the stakes are higher as we work to re-elect President Obama.  There will be challenges ahead, we face an economy has still has so many Americans concerned not only about their future, but the future of our nation. 

We have a Congress that seems nearly incapable of compromise and doing what’s best for us.  The solution may be found in the upcoming election in November where voters say no to do-nothing lawmakers and yes to those who will work for us.  But first, we have to work for those candidates to get them elected.  We need to help Democrats who are running for the Board of County Commissioners, District Attorney, the Colorado State House of Representatives, and State Senate or for Congress.  Every office, every elected position is important to each and every one of us.

There will be opportunities for everyone to get involved.  And, you can make a difference by spending only a couple of hours a week to support the candidate of your choice.  Walk your neighborhood, drop off campaign literature or make a few phone calls.  You don’t even have to leave the house.

The difference in every election comes down to the number of times that voters hear the candidate’s message.  As a volunteer, you can make sure your candidate’s message gets out.  And, in doing so, make sure your voice is heard

You can start by attending one of the district meetings this month.

Please join us in this very important work.
