Help Needed Right Here in Adams County!

Immediate!  Very Short-Term!
 
Many of you may be aware of Proposition 103, which will appear on the ballots to be mailed out in just 8 days.  It raises our taxes in the name of K-12 education, but it is a Democratic ruse for simply fattening government coffers.  (And even if it DID throw more money at education, that's not the answer to our education problems!)
We need to stop Prop 103!
 
We have 200 "No On Prop 103" yard signs which need to be posted.  The committees who gave them to us would like them to be posted on main thoroughfares.  BUT, the problem is that, in most jurisdictions here in AdCo, rules about signs have tightened.  So we need to look at private property locations — either good locationyards (corners!) or private commercial property.  If you don't have either, you might know someone (or several people) who has/have.  Please help! Let me know how many signs you can place (heypattymac@juno.com              303-457-1291      ) and we'll make arrangements.
 
We also have 2000 half-sheet flyers to get out.  If you would be willing to help distribute them outside a store (I have the rules for that) or otherwise, please contact me.
 
You're needed.  If you can help in any way, please let me know!

Your 2011 Republican Municipal Candidates

The 2011 Municipal elections will be held Tuesday November 1st

Here is a list of REPUBLICAN candidates in Mayoral, City Council, and School Board Races in Adams

County. We are in the last few campaign weeks before the mail-ballots drop on October 11. This is a

time when candidates NEED YOUR HELP. When it was supplied to me, I included contact info for the

candidate. For the others, Google the candidate’s name and either the city/state or the school district

number. If the candidate has a website, which should have contact info, you can find it that way.

 

Folks, these races are IMPORTANT. The races are “non-partisan,” but all that means is that there is no R

or D after the candidate’s name on the ballot. It has nothing to do with the principles held by a candidate

and where we throw our support. The Dems have been taking most of these seats for years, and the

Progressive agenda has been showing up in our cities and schools. We need to take back control at every

level of government. PLEASE help out. If you have trouble finding info for a candidate, contact me at 303-

457-1291 or heypattymac@juno.com, and I will help you search.

Adams County Commissioners Refer Ballot Question to Voters

State Law Mandates Referral of this Measure to the 2012 General Election

08/31/2011 – The Adams County Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution in public hearing today, directing county staff to prepare a ballot question asking voters whether or not to increase the Board of County Commissioners from three to five members. This resolution represents a commitment the board made as part of the strategic reform package adopted on May 25, 2011.

"We promised citizens we would enact sweeping reforms to bring good and responsible government to Adams County," said Chairman W. R. "Skip" Fischer. "Today, we are following through on another reform measure." Continue reading →

Reapportionment Commission to hear public testimony on state legislative district boundaries

 

Although the drawing of Colorado’s Congressional district boundaries has been sent to the courts (since the state senate failed to consider redistricting legislation, abdicating their constitutional obligations), the Reapportionment Commission (charged with drawing state legislative districts) is meeting over the summer and will hear public testimony both in Denver (initially) and throughout the state (once a draft district map has been developed for review and comment).

The commission has divided the state into 7 regions for the purpose of hearing public testimony. Continue reading →

Primary date moves to June 26, 2012, Precinct caucuses will be March 6th, 2012

Governor John Hickenlooper signed legislation moving the Primary date from the second Tuesday in August to the last Tuesday in June. This action will take place beginning next year when the Primary falls on June 26, 2012.


“A June Primary will ensure that our military and overseas voters will receive an accurate and authentic ballot with ample time for delivery,” Secretary of State Scott Gessler said. “For in-state voters, instead of voting after summer vacations, Coloradans will need to cast their Primary ballots before they leave for family reunions and fireworks.”

Congress passed legislation in 2009 mandating that states mail ballots to overseas voters 45 days ahead of the election. Colorado’s late Primary and recount provisions created very short timelines for county clerks to meet the federal mandate.
