CITIZENS OF COLORADO ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND NEIGHBORHOOD CAUCUS TUESDAY.

DENVER—In front of a coffee shop, the traditional setting for political activism until recently, long-time community activist John Wren invited people to share their thinking about our Colorado Caucus, what Wren calls the best chance the common person has for serving in elected public office.

Wren will bring up the topic again this evening and tomorrow at Denver Socrates Café meetings, which first started the Friday after 9/11. For more about it see http://Meetup.com/Denver-Socrates-Cafe or call Wren at (303)861-1447.

“Today we are flooded with information, but there is little chance for thoughtful conversation. Our Colorado Caucus is a powerful tool for fostering that conversation and channeling it in a very useful way, but that requires informed participation,” said Wren.

“I’ve been doing a very crude website, trying to be helpful in triggering better media coverage and as a result better participation.

“We will be announcing a new foundation to help improve media coverage of the grassroots next Tuesday. Stay tuned.”
