On this day in 1912 Woodrow Wilson was elected president, defeating incumbent William Howard Taft and former President Theodore Roosevelt.
My ad in the Denver Daily News was left out of the paper today. Watch for it tomorrow. In the meantime, let's all do the little we can to defeat A thru I. Email and call your friends, be sure to get your own ballot in. For more reason's why, see the entries here for the last few weeks, lots of links to articles and letters the Post and News are burying in their online edition, don't even come up when you search for them, nothing on either front page encouraging voters to return their ballots.
OC Tanner was a very successful entrepreneur in Utah who started the OC Tanner Company, which his daughter operates today.
After reading Ben Franklin’s Autobiography, Tanner chose Socrates and Jesus as his favorite heroes. From the one he took the belief that the unexamined life is not worth living; from the other he learned compassion for human suffering and an unyielding hope for an eventual human felicity.
Denver Post one-sided article profiles backers of A thur I yesterday, it attracted lots of negative comments about A thru I after mine (posted below) here's a sample:

• I just witnessed a channel 4 story with a group of betterdenver.org people coming to your doorstep and willing to watch you fill out a ballot and deliver it for you to a polling site? For or against that seems inappropriate and coercive! Shouldn't have any problems passing that way.

• Just say NO With the economy faltering, housing prices in free fall, forclosures at record highs, and State taxes skyrocketing this is NOT the time for the largest tax increase in Denver's history. In addition to funding questionable projects which should be paid for by the users of the facilities, these taxes never go away. We're giving the tax and spend mayor and his spendthrift democratic buddies on City Council a blank check. The mayor has spent his political capital and it's time to tell him to take a hike. Imagine a great city that you can actually afford to live in. When the city learns to spend the tax dollars we're already paying maybe I'll consider voting for a tax increase but not until. VOTE NO on A thru I.

Just vote NO on A thru I and do what you can to encourage others to do the same. Lots of people who are against A thru I are just not voting, what you do today could make a difference! Email and call your friends, call into radio talk shows.
