One Colorado!

By 3 a.m. I was headed to bed, after I'd requested a few friends put in their email address at the bottom of the proposal as a reference for me, if you feel like you know me, I'd appreciate you doing the same right now.

Here is my wee hours proposal: https://www.f6s.com/innovationfundwinter2015application#main/ajax-feed

This morning I woke with this decision: I'm doing the tour whether we get the $50,000 or not. If we do get the grant, I'm hoping to have a bus and include Ben Franklin (my friend Chris) who is "Ben Franklin Live.") Maybe a band.

But I'll be doing the tour with our without the grant.

If we don't get it I may be hitchhiking and sleeping in chamber of commerce offices or local homes, but one way or the other, it will happen and conclude in Denver by March 1, Colorado Caucus Day.

The message of the tour will be One Colorado. We are loosing sight of the fact that we all have more in common than we have differences.

We will have a t-shirt design contest to express this thought: "March 1 is Colorado Caucus Day, not Colorado caucuses day. We are One Colorado!"

Look up "Colorado Caucus" on Wikipedia to see more about this in the comment at the top of the article, or if it's been taken down, see http://www.COCaucus.org for yesterday's version of the Wikipedia article.

I'll be talking about all this today on the Startup Show, a link will be posted right here so you can watch live at 12:30 p.m. today (Friday) or come back anytime after that to watch a recording.

This weekend I'm going to offer something to do with using language as propaganda, which I think is happening with this change from Iowa Caucus to Iowa caucuses in Wikipedia, I've made an inquiry with Associated Press about when and why the Iowa and it looks like nation wide change took place with newspapers across the country.

Socrates Cafe is this evening (Fri) at 6 p.m., Panera Bread on the 16th Street Mall, across from the RTD Market Street Station, and tomorrow (Sat, 1/23) at the University of Denver in the Anderson Academic Commons. More info and optional RSVP at http://Meetup.com/Colorado-Socrates-Cafe-Society. 

Please Tweet this, post on Facebook, email friends a copy. But most of all, come back here at 12:30 p.m. today for the Startup Show, and try and attend one of the Socrates Cafes this weekend.

Thanks for taking the time to strengthen the Colorado grassroots!
