Call to Action!

quick reference: Wins! LRW, BRW

Did you attend your caucus?

Yes

WINS!

Federal court holds Corporate Transparency Act unconstitutional

If you don't know about this act and its repercussions it's because you don't have an LLC or Trust or other small business entity. THIS one is a win - but 25 Republicans voted for the bill to start with.

Here is information about the bill. And here is who voted for it.

And you've heard by now about the Supreme Court unanimously ruling in favor of Trump being on the Colorado ballot. One version of the story here.

"She (Jenna Griswold) may be a reason to stay out of Colorado" - watch below.

Call to Action

Share your thoughts on a new minimum wage BEFORE it gets voted on. The questionaire for people in Longmont is here.

If you like the oil and gas industry, write your legislatures, or call or testify. I would especially recommend writing to the governor. He wants a higher office and will need to be more practical than the basic CO Dem.

If you support Israel in Longmont, write, call, or speak up at Tuesday's city council meeting. Those who just want an end to fighting without a solution are looking for a public resolution from city council.

Monthly Meetings:

Thursday, March 21st at 6:00pm at Pinocchio's. Our topic will be Election Integrity with Peg Cage. We will also hear "Why America Still Matters to God" with Pastor Steven Grant from Destiny Christian Center in Greeley.

Disclaimer

These Calls to Action are not sanctioned by anyone. Not the RNC and not the BOCOGOP either, though they give me this platform to use and will kick me off if I misuse it.
I create this. If you send me items to post, I may edit it, or I may not. I appreciate it when things are sent because I cannot keep track of all that goes on in Boulder County!
The amount and thoroughness of these has only to do with how much time I have to spend on it and has nothing to do with the importance of an event. Half the time I send this out and then notice 3 more items that you might have been interested in as well.
I assume this is not your only place to retrieve this sort of information.
And finally – I write conversationally – in other words, not well. ;-)

Thank you for your time – and thank you for your continued support for everything that goes on in Boulder County!
