Hi Progressives,
Am I the only one who feels that Republicans will do ANYTHING to defeat President Obama and take back the White House in 2012 - even if it means driving our country right off a cliff? I didn't think so. Their clearly stated NUMBER ONE GOAL to make Barack Obama a one-term president is disgusting, repulsive, and self-serving - they could instead use their energy to solve the real problems our country is facing. How are they getting away with this? Today's Republicans are masters at spin, blame-shifting, blackmail, and outright lying to acheive their goals of serving the top 2% of our country's wealthy, while sending the other 98% back to scrambling for their part of the American Dream. My personal opinion is that Ronald Reagen and many other Republicans would not agree with these tactics and would consider them beneath their dignity. Those were the days.
Many of us are not happy with much of what has occurred in the last 2 1/2 years; we have two choices:
1) We can complain
2) We can complain, and then we can DO something about it!
Choose Door Number 2!
WE CANNOT TAKE THIS LYING DOWN! We have the power to work together to maintain the strides we've made and fulfill the ideals we all worked SO hard towards in 2008. You can bet your bottom dollar that the Republicans will focus solely on undoing what Obama has achieved (which is tremendous, in light of the toxic atmosphere in which he has worked SO hard) rather than with moving our country forward. Our efforts and BOOTS ON THE GROUND right here in Arapahoe County are what led us to victory in 2008, and we will need even more determination and hard work to re-elect Barack Hussein Obama to his second term in office. Southern Arapahoe County is once again being called "Ground Zero" for the 2012 elections.
Some very dedicated Democrats are holding a neighborhood meeting on Friday, August 12 at the Knolls Clubhouse, 3368 E. Geddes Dr, Centennial, CO 80122. The Knolls is located between Arapahoe Rd. and Dry Creek, West of Colorado Blvd.
We are all busy; we can all do SOMETHING. There will be many jobs, small, medium, and large, for volunteers to do over the next year and a half. Our primary need is for canvassers, but there will be phone banks, placards to make, babysitters, events to attend. A rapid response team is planned, so that we can organize events or participate in Republican events very rapidly. There is plenty for everyone to do.
Please invite some like-minded neighbors for this event, and get together to share food, drink, and to discuss the challenges we face in the upcoming campaigns.
The event will start at 6:00PM. Bring a friend, your suggestions, and a dish to share. Soft drinks will be provided, as will dinnerware. Feel free to bring your favorite beverage!
Please RSVP to Anita so we have an idea of how many to plan for: aebjenk@gmail.com
Are you FIRED UP and READY TO GO?? Let's make it happen!
