Vote yet? Want to make a real difference?
If you are affiliated with one of the major political parties, your vote today for the primary candidates of your choice makes a difference, of course.
I think nearly everyone should do this.
Now you can make a real difference. Start reaching out to your neighbors. All of your neighbors, no matter how they are registered to vote. We'll be talking about that here over the next few weeks.
We'll bring you information about inclusive groups you might consider starting.
Our first suggestion: Start a Socrates Café. Inspired by the book by the same name Chris Phillips wrote, I've been involved with groups here in Colorado since early 2000.
For more, check out our Facebook Page http://Facebook.com/DenverSocratesCafe
If it looks like something you might like to start in your neighborhood, just do it! Or if you want help attend one of our free meetings here in Denver or give me a call.
Do you have a group in your neighborhood that's helped pull the neighbors together? Tell us about it with your comments here, or call me and I'll write about it.

Talking to a machine?
I just got call from machine supporting one political candidate over another in the primary. Here's what I can't understand, why is the machine calling me? I've been registered Unaffiliated for years. I've called and left a message... More later.
Are you getting calls like this? If so, has a call ever changed your mind?

Big gains between now and November.
For both Republicans and Democrates, system works best if elected precinct committee people in 3000 neighborhoods across the state have monthly meetings with block workers who stay in touch with those in their neighborhood, then monthly district meetings. Both parties have gotten away from doing this, whichever returns first, would only take a couple of months, will have big advantage. Http://www.COCaucus.org

CO SB14-175 article: My comments, and my request to you (highlighted.)
Posted by John S Wren on Wednesday, Apr 16, 2014 7:23 PM (EDT):
It would be interesting to interview everyone who was involved in deciding to make this THE fight at this late date.
This amount of energy invested a few months ago would have made a huge difference. I attended a gathering at Mother of God Church here in Denver right after the last elections. Everyone was encouraged to write letters to those who had just been elected.
Whether by design or by accident, the timing of these education activities seem to me to be a real problem. Looking back at the Civil Unions fight, it would have been much better if Colorado Catholic Conference would have just not done anything.
Looks like a replay of that misguide effort unfolding here with
SB14-175. Hope I’m wrong. We’ll know soon.

Often wrong, never in doubt. :-)
Glad to be wrong this time. Maybe there was a genius at work in this I haven’t appreciated before.
Thank you Archbishop Aquila for your leadership, and to our brother Jesus for his walking with each of us as we did the little we could, trusting (most of trusting most of the time) that with God’s help it would be enough.
And thanks to NCR for this great story. I’m going to subscribe right now, and I’ll encourage readers of my educational effort COCaucus.org to do the same, so get ready for a flood of new subs. :-)
