What a difference a year makes!

Wednesday, May 8, 2013 marks the last day of the 2013 Legislative session.

Undoubtedly, the 69th Session of the Colorado Legislature will go down as one of the most productive in our history.

The list of accomplishments is long, but it's important to remember that you made this legislative session possible. We've come a long way since last year, when a hyper-partisan Republican majority killed critical pieces of legislation to pacify the most extreme members of their political base.

By working hard and working together, Colorado regained a Democratic majority in the State House and protected our majority in the State Senate in the 2012 election.

Your hard work made it possible to elect Representative Joann Ginal and re-elect Representative Randy Fischer to the State House. Your hard work elected Senator John Kefalas to the State Senate. You made it possible for Colorado to remain a leader in renewable energies, and ensure we have a legislature focused on getting Colorado back to work.

Through your hard work, Colorado is expanding eligibility to thousands of uninsured and underinsured Coloradans. And by knocking on thousands of doors, making countless phone calls and literally going the extra mile, our Democratic majorities were able to pass Civil Unions, ASSET, Election Reform and common sense Gun Safety measures.

While a lot has been accomplished, our work is not yet done. The Larimer County Democrats' mission is to elect Democrats up and down the ballot, but we can't do it without you. Please take a moment and contribute $25 to help your Larimer County Democrats stick to our mission of electing Democrats and moving Larimer County and Colorado forward.

You helped get us here, and you can help keep us here. DONATE now to help get ready for 2014!

William J. Russell
Chairman, Larimer County Democrats
