Ideas....

From John Fulton.... Last meeting generated a lot of ideas for activities to get us out there in front of the public. With a bit of literary license (sorry, John), here are some:

- Voter registration, both on campus (get 'em young....) and off. John checked out voter registration on campus - allowed but we can't show our sign. Kind of defeats the purpose.

- Earth Day: April 14--here's the link provided by Stacey Farley: http://www.stepitup2007.org ties in with Gore's message about the threat of global warming. Perhaps we could do something about each, but I suggest we go for April 22 (a Sunday) which follows by one day our monthly planning session Saturday, 4/21. This also is something we should discuss.

Two things John would like to see us do:

1. "Brand" ourselves as Arapahoe Democrats but also as HD 40 Democrats. We have a few dollars to invest in T-shirts. White Hanes Ts are really inexpensive. Matt has used decals & may still have some left. I feel strongly that we can & should do this. I think Arapahoe Dems would give us permission to use their logo.

2. The Arapahoe County Party is challenging us to put some money in the till. I have some ideas. Please think about this matter & bring your own ideas for discussion.

Elections: There are "off-year" elections this year. Pam Bennett is running for Aurora City Council @ large.There are two seats open @ large; top two vote-getters win. Aurora Ward VI in our patch will also be on the ballot in November(?). Our current in Ward VI, Councilperson Bob Broom, a Republican, is a pretty good Councilperson in my experience.
