VOTE - Your Way of Life Depends on It!

“The election is not a referendum -- it’s a choice.” 

    - President Joe Biden, October 21, 2022

In 2020, WE made a choice -- to elect President Biden, to keep the U.S. House in Democratic control, and to add enough Democratic Senators to tie the U.S. Senate -- giving Democrats control.

Those were really good choices to move this country forward.  Now in 2022, we are asked again to make choices in these mid-term elections.  

This article shows us the stark contrast between our choice FOR electing Democratic candidates versus Republicans.  

Postcards Increase Voter Turnout -- Become Involved!

Postcard campaigns are proven to increase voter turnout by 1% to 4%.

To put that into context, in 2016 Hillary Clinton lost by less than 1% in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin -- states that would have given Hillary enough electoral votes to become our President in 2016.

This article discusses how to get involved and how to make a real difference in 2022.  As well stated in this article:  "Whether you write 1 postcard or 100, you’ll be helping save our democracy -- literally.”

The stakes are high this election cycle, so let’s ACT!

OUR COLORADO LEGISLATURE - IMPORTANCE TO OUR VOTERS

Our Colorado legislature performs many functions -- but two of the most important tasks impacting all of us voters are:

- Making our laws
- Approving the State budget for managing our resources

Colorado has 65 House Districts and 35 Senate Districts.  ALL Colorado legislation depends on which party holds the majority in each chamber.  To continue progressive legislation going forward, we MUST keep the Colorado House and Senate in Democratic control.
