Happy birthday Ben Franklin! It's his 303rd today. I don't see much in the papers about it. I've formed a Colorado not for profit Ben Franklin Birthday Committee, we hope to make it a big annual event starting in 2010, good way to draw peoples attention to our wonderful Colorado Caucus.

Tonight we are celebrating at the Mercury Cafe, hope you can join us! Details at http://www.stagec.com/node/75
