Caucus and Assembly Information

The final list of caucus locations is being finalized right now. It will be available on our website starting on Monday and also by calling the office. You will need to know your precinct number which will be on the new voter registration number you are getting in the mail. The Secretary of State’s website has been updated with the new precinct numbers as well: Go Vote Colorado

Happy 2012!

Happy 2012! What a year we have ahead of us!

First off – and most importantly – the Colorado Democratic Caucuses are on March 6, 2012 from 7 – 9 pm. You may have read in the recent media around the precinct boundary changes that all caucuses were on February 7. The Republicans decided to move their caucuses to February but ours are still on March 6.

You also may have been hearing about the precinct boundary changes. El Paso County is going from 404 precincts to 199 precincts. This is not a bad thing and may actually benefit us in community and election organizing.

Colorado Democratic Caucuses are on Tuesday March 6, 2012

Jan 4, 2012: In response to a number of media stories concerning the 2012 Caucuses, the El Paso County Democratic Party wants to clarify that the Democratic Caucuses are on Tuesday, March 6, 2012.

This date had been previously agreed upon by both parties but several months ago the Republicans decided to move their caucus up to Feb. 7, 2012.

In regards to the reapportionment and the precinct boundary changes, the Democratic Party does not anticipate many changes in caucus locations in El Paso County. As soon as available caucus locations will be posted online at www.peakdems.org or at the Party office 719-473-8713. We expect to have finalized caucus information no later than Jan. 10, 2012.

Suspension of Campaign for CD5

I would like to announce the indefinite suspension of my campaign. I began this campaign because I believed that the effectiveness of our educational system and our stewardship of the environment will determine the economic and social status of our children.

The foundation of this campaign has been FDR’s Second American Bill of Rights as stated in his 1944 State of the Union Address.

I thank all of you for your support and invite you to join me in the critical battle to make these ideals a reality.

Do You Have Some Time To Spare?

I am looking for 2 or 3 strong energetic people to help me move our storage unit. We will be moving to a unit in the same building – but we need to reorganize and throw out. Let me know if you can help and we will figure out a date: christy@peakdems.org

As soon as we can identify a day with decent weather after the 1st of the year we will schedule this endeavor. Thank you to everyone who has offered to help.
