Dreaded Politics! Beware!
It's been another busy week around here. Visits from the long lost, appointments to be gotten to, Caro's first week of her summer reading program, all on top of the usual weird stuff....
Yesterday I went to a meeting with some of our local Democrats to meet some of our NON-local Democrats, all of us from Colorado's 4th Congressional District. It is, as many CDs tend to be, a big, funny-shaped area; it includes most of the Eastern flat part of the state but also Estes Park (gateway to the Rocky Mountain National Forest/Park) and some of the smaller communities just OUTSIDE Boulder, a famous Hotbed of Liberalism.
I am very sorry to say that our 4th CD Rep is Marilyn Musgrave, best known for sponsoring the Federal Marriage Amendment. So what this new group, the 4CDC, is being formed to do, basically, is support Anybody But Marilyn in the 2006 elections.
We had a productive meeting where we bounced ideas off each other and came up with what I think are some very workable ideas. I'm looking forward to trying them out!
So as long as I'm being political, there's a petition going around some of my friends might like to sign. (Thanks to for the heads up!)
Click on Howard to sign!
And to save folks the trouble of asking...do I think Howard could have phrased a few of his recent off the cuff remarks better? Probably. Do I think we need more and not less of leaders who truthfully say what they really think without worrying whether people will like it or not? Oh HELL yeah!
