Madam Secretary

Great television show, but tonight's episode and the reelection story line of previous episodes have created the impression that an unaffiliated candidate for president could be elected. Not true. We hope to publish knowledgable articles about this over the next week or so. Stay tuned.

Trust and appreciation. #MadamSecretary pic.twitter.com/8Gom6Urhi0

Tim Snyder: Save Institutions!

@TimothyDSnyder the Colorado Caucus was part of a package of progressive reforms in 1910 that was used in Colorado to fight the local political machine, it's been under attack. Seems to me it's an institution worth saving. Have you written about it? https://t.co/qmCJlChCvi pic.twitter.com/luBNfKarHl

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

March 4, 2019

Lead, Follow, or Get Out of the Way!

Denver-- Long time community activist John Wren today announced a year long effort to increase the informed participation in the 2020 Colorado Caucus. For more information see www:COCaucus.org or call (303)861-1447.

"The first Tuesday in March, 2020 or the following Saturday will be the next, and possibly the last time neighbors in Colorado gather to have their say as major political parties elect delegates and nominate candidates," said Wren

"Since 1912 this biannual, state-wide civics lesson has been the first step towards running for elected public office or helping other good people to get elected.

"For the second time Colorado is experimenting with an expensive, meaningless Presidential Primary, unless it is killed by the Colorado legislature. We know that unless extraordinary measures are taken it will kill the best chance the common person in Colorado has of serving in elected public office.

"I'll talk about this more on today's Startup Show, a daily Internet live broadcast that I hope will be shared online and picked up by websites of local community newspapers across Colorado. To see the live broadcast each day go to www.Facebook.com/Small.Business.Chamber and to see a recording of it see the member-only group on the Facebook Page "Visit Group," said Wren

For more information see the Colorado Secretary of State's Website, information about this is found on Elections, Candidates, Questions and Answers.

Ads and Twitter Feeds Here Not Endorsements!

This along with http://Facebook.com/Colorado.Caucus.News are now the Internet presence for Save the Caucus, a registered Colorado political committee. John S. Wren is registered agent. 1881 Buchtel Blvd. #501, Denver, CO 80210 (303)861-1447.

Advertisements on this site are sold by Google, and they are not a sign of endorsement by Save the Caucus or John Wren or anyone else who is involved with Save the Caucus. Neither are the posts on Twitter Feeds here for #COPolitics, #COCaucus, or #coloradocaucus. If you have any question about this, please call John Wren, (303)861-1447.

Why am I doing this?

People ask me, "John, why have you put so much energy into the Colorado Caucus. Do you plan on running for elected office?"

I'm 66 (when I first wrote this, 73 now), my time for possibly serving in elected office is over. But I want to make sure the system that gave me the chance is around for my grandkids.

My elected representative asked me to run for her seat when she decided to step aside. Betty Ann said she would support me if I wanted to do it. But the time just wasn't right for my family. Later I changed political parties, got elected to a leadership role, and ran in a primary election, just to show it could be done. I'm currently registered Unaffiliated.

I the little I can to increase the informed participation in our wonderful grassroots system for nominating to the primary ballot and electing leadership for the major political parties for two reasons: 1) I enjoy it, and 2) For the system to work, someone has to do it. My hope is that this website eventually serves as a catalyst for local community newspapers and others to give our biannual celebration of representative democracy, by far the biggest event in Colorado, a little more coverage.

If you are a common, average, ordinary person, like most of us are, your best chance of serving in elected public office is to get active in the major party of your choice and help all you can between now and the neighborhood meeting next spring.

I hope what is shared here by me and others will be of assistance to you getting started as a more active citizen, and that you, in turn, will pass what you learn along to others. You might start by sharing a link to this via social media and by sending an email to your friends who you know might have an interest in becoming a more active citizen.
