Colorado Caucus "Ask me" t-shirts

Well that didn't work very well.

What went wrong with our plan to have unaffiliated voters reach out to neighbors wearing a red, blue or yellow 'Ask me about our Colorado Caucus."

Was it the wrong slogan? What would work better.

We are going to try another T-shirt, is there another slogan you think would work better?

John Wren will talk more about this on The Startup Show (click here for more) the next few Fridays.

Free speech

Participating in our wonderful Colorado Caucus is a great way to exercise our right to free speech. What is the status of that right today? See Dr Amar Bhide's thoughts via link just posted on our https://www.facebook.com/Colorado.Caucus.News

While you are there please post links to article and editorials about our upcoming Colorado Caucus. Watch for an attack on it from the powerful forces who hate the right to free speech and the messy grassroots system that levels the playing field for the common person who wants to serve in elected public office.

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.
