John Morris for County Commissioner Dist 3
My fellow Democrats,
I am happy to announce that I am the 2012 Democratic candidate for the El Paso County Commission, District #3. For those who may not know me, I am the past chair of the El Paso County Democratic Party (2005-2009), a retired District #11 high school teacher, and a forty-five year resident of Colorado Springs.
I have chosen to run because of my deep frustration with the Republican machine that has controlled this county for the last generation for its own benefit and the benefit of its friends.
I am also frustrated that the progressive and moderate voters on the Westside in Commissioner District #3 may have representation in the state legislature with Pete Lee and John Morse, but no Democrat has been elected to the County Commission for the last forty years, and no Democrat has served as an elected member of our county government for a generation. The diversity of political opinion in the community should be reflected by officials in the halls of government. It is time for the progressive voice to be heard in El Paso County.
National Move to Amend Spokesman to Visit Colorado Springs
NATIONAL MOVE TO AMEND SPOKESMAN TO VISIT Colorado Springs
Tuesday, May 15th 6:30-8:30pm
Cheyenne Mountain Library 1785 S. 8th St.
Local groups along with the Peak Dems and the Green Party and Move to Amend will host a community forum on “Creating Democracy and Challenging Corporate Rule” with guest speaker David Cobb of the Move to Amend campaign. Part history lesson and part heart-felt call to action, the event will be at the Cheyenne Mountain Library at 1785 S. 8th St., Tuesday, May 15th from 6:30-8:30pm
The recent U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United v. FEC opened the floodgates to unlimited corporate spending on elections. Cobb, an attorney and organizer for the Move to Amend coalition, will help local residents understand the history behind the recent decision and how they can work to abolish “Corporate Personhood” and reestablish a government of, by, and for the people.
