December 17, 2008
Thanks to everyone who made it through cold and snow to join us for our annual fundraising breakfast!
At the event we celebrated the impact our organization has in Colorado.
* During the 2008 legislative session we fought to protect voters against onerous ID requirements for voting and worked to defend the initiative process.
* We hosted a symposium on media reform at the Democratic National Convention, with Dan Rather as one of our featured speakers.
* We led the coalition of Just Vote Colorado which assisted voters around the state.
We were fortunate to have some great speakers at our event last week. Common Cause President and CEO Bob Edgar was there to remind us that we are the leaders we have been waiting for, and called on us to act. Colorado Speaker-Elect Terrance Carroll laid out his vision for building a stronger Colorado by ensuring that all Coloradans are included in the circle of opportunity. We were also proud to honor Nan Morehead and Bill Parsons, two longtime Colorado Common Cause board members.
During this holiday season, we feel so fortunate to be part of such a strong organization, evidenced by our supporters in the community. Together we are building a stronger Colorado.
From all of us at Colorado Common Cause, Happy Holidays.
Sincerely,
Jenny, Elena and Katie
