This morning the Denver Post called for the creation of a Colorado presidential primary, which would kill our neighborhood caucuses.
I posted this response online:
The caucus-killers are coming!
In 2002 powerful forces tried to kill the Colorado Caucus with Amendment 29.
Here they come again!
The caucus-system is the last, best hope for the voice of the average person. The caucus system gives common people a strong voice in our system of representative government, and local government is better because of it as new leaders are developed. Every two years we get a chance for a state-wide civics lesson.
Don't let the major media spend your tax money to create a system that requires massive advertising dollars! The caucus is grassroots, so candidates spend their money developing local community support, good for the neighborhoods, bad for big media.
If you are concerned, join us for the next Denver Grassroots Rally the first Friday in March. More info and optional RSVP at http://cocacop.meetup.com/2
(RSVP "NO" if you can't make this meeting, and you'll be sent an invitation to future meetings-- this spring we expect to move outdoors and become a Speakers Corner, similar to what London has had in one of their parks for years.)
