On November 4
th
we can make history
by replacing perhaps the worst presidentin modern times with a Democrat in touch with American values and interests at homeand abroad. We can also increase our hard won Democratic margin in the US Senateand maintain our Democratic seat in the US House of Representatives. Colorado isconsidered a swing state and will play a key role in this election.
Eagle County Democrats are leading the way in Western Colorado.
Eagle County Dems recently overcame the Republicans in voter registration. Now weneed to turn the state of Colorado blue by making sure all voters vote. We delivered ourcounty for Presidential Candidate John Kerry in 2004 and Governor Bill Ritter in2006. Ifwe can increase our turnout this year, we can win for our Presidential candidate,BarackObama,and for ourU.S. Senate candidate, Mark Udall, we can help turn all of
Colorado blue. We can keep the 2nd congressional district in Democratic hands by sup-porting ourCongressional Candidate, Jared Polis.
County Democrats are fielding an excellentcontingent
of state legislators and commissioner candidates whoneed your votes to serve, respect, and listen to the people of ourcounty. Finally, there are many questions on the ballot that touchon issues at the core of Democratic Party values. We must focusour attention on these issues that will impact all Colorado citizensas we address the challenges of the 21st century. The EagleCounty Democrats have taken the time to review and makerecommendations on these measures.
Please consider the voting recommendationsprovided here
by the Eagle County DemocratsCentral and Executive Committees. Most of all,we again urge you to VOTE. The opportunity forreal change is too great and the stakes are toohigh to miss participating in this critical election!
