Welcome

Scott Starin The holidays are over, and we are finally into 2010. The next several months will be critical to the process of nominating our best candidates and setting them up to be successful in this election year. It is not cliche to state that seldom in one's lifetime will an election be so critical to the direction of our nation the type of Nation we leave our future generations.

First up is our next Executive Committee meeting, on January 28th, starting at 7:00 PM. This critical meeting will be held at 4047 East County Line Road, in Erie, and will set the stage for organizing the Precinct Caucuses, County Assembly and 2010 Lincoln Day Dinner. All Executive Committee members, District Captains and prospective Captains are requested to attend. Please bring a folding chair, and arrive early.

Precinct Caucuses will be held on March 16th, starting at 7:00 PM. Caucuses are critically important to help organize the party and gage primary preferences for the upcoming elections. Delegates to the County, Congressional and State Assemblies will be elected at the caucuses. If you want to have an influence in these important decisions, I strongly urge you to participate in your local caucus. Note: January 19th is the last day to update registration to participate in your local precinct caucus. If you have recently moved or wish to change your registration to Republican, you have until the 19th to make this change. To find information on how to update your voter registration, go to the Boulder County Clerk & Recorder's website. Locations for your local caucus will be posted on our website after the 19th. You'll be able to enter your name and see where your caucus will be held.

Our County Assembly will be held in April. The venue and date are still being finalized, and we will update you as soon as a venue is secured. The County Assembly is also critically important as the State House districts that are within the County will also decide their nominees or potential primary candidates. County Resolutions will also be debated and voted upon. Also in April, we will hold our annual Lincoln Day Dinner. Judging by the resounding success of the 2009 Lincoln Day Dinner, we are optimistic that another successful celebration of the life of our Nation's greatest president will be enjoyed by all. Again, we will provide venue and featured speaker details shortly.

We will have our Colorado Republican Committee State Convention on May 22nd at the Budweiser Convention Center in Loveland. The Second and Fourth Congressional Assemblies as well as State House District Assemblies that span multiple counties will also be held, probably on the 21st, at the same venue. At the State Assembly, we will vote on who our nominees or primary candidates will be for Governor and US Senate. Do not think that any of these races are already decided.

I urge you to become involved and participate in these important processes that will position us for victory in 2010. We must put an end to the reckless governance of the Democrats in power. We must regain the State House and Governorship as the important redistricting responsibilities will be determined in the next Administration. In Washington, we have an opportunity to stop the Democrats super-majority in the Senate and significantly weaken their majority in the House. We have some excellent candidates who have come forward to provide our nation the important course correction, we so desperately need. Your help and participation in this process will help shape this election, and the candidates we nominate.

Respectfully,

Scott Starin, Chairman
Boulder County Republicans
