Getting involved in HD 36 in 2010
How?
Whether you can volunteer one hour per month or several hours per week we need your help! Here are some ways you can participate:
- Join our regular working volunteer meeting the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm, starting in January 2010 (no December meeting due to holidays). We’ll work on a different project each month, like calling prior caucus attendees, working on mailings, voter contact data entry, calling constituents for Rep. Ryden.
- If you can’t join the 4th Tuesday meetings, but want to help out for a few hours each month, you can make phone calls on your own.
- We hope to organize several volunteer community service activities in 2010, such as helping out in soup kitchens or cleaning up neighborhood parks. Let us know if you have ideas!
- Go door to door to talk to voters for Rep. Ryden and other Democratic candidates. This is the single most effective way of helping elect and re-elect Democrats.
- GO TO CAUCUSES on March 16 ,2010 at 7PM. The location will be announced soon. Precinct caucuses are where you can voice your preference in the U.S. Senate primary; participate in the Colorado Democratic Party platform process, and win election as a Precinct Committee Person for your precinct.
Who?
YOU! Whether you are a precinct committee person, have volunteered regularly for Barack Obama’s campaign or other campaigns, or haven’t been involved much in Democratic campaigns and want to volunteer more in 2010, we need your help. All that matters is that you care about making a difference in our community and in our state.
When?
Whenever you can help! HD 36 will have one regular working meeting per month in 2010, on the 4th Tuesday evening of each month at 6:30pm. We hope you can join us then. But even if you can’t, you can help in other ways when you have time by calling voters, entering data, and going door to door for Democratic candidates.
Where?
HD 36 working meetings will normally take place at Arapahoe County Democratic HQ, 15455 E Iliff Ave (Iliff & Chambers). You can also help just by talking to voters in your precinct.
Why?
Electing Democratic candidates is how we put Democratic principles into action. In both the state capitol and in Washington D.C. votes will be cast that will shape our lives and these votes must be cast by officials who share our core principles or they will be cast by officials who surely do not. At the state level challenges we face include creating jobs, increasing access to and decreasing the price of health care, and reforming our state budget problems (TABOR). Also, after the 2010 elections, Colorado will undergo redistricting and reapportionment, which will determine our Congressional and state legislative boundaries for a decade. At the national level, climate change legislation and comprehensive immigration reform are just two of the things at risk if we fail to retain Democratic majorities in 2010.
