Republicans giving up on Musgrave?

Rumor has it that the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) is pulling the plug on funds for the Marilyn Musgrave campaign, leaving her stranded a week before the election with challenger Betsy Markey hot on her heels.

I guess what goes around, comes around.

Marilyn, sometimes when you try to take away things from other people--like, for example, their rights--things eventually get taken away from you--like campaign funds.

It couldn't have happened to a more deserving person.

Defeat Marilyn Musgrave

Have you ever said to your self “I wish there was some way to defeat Marilyn Musgrave?”

Well, here is your chance!

The Markey for Congress campaign is heading up a program to mail thousands of pieces to voters and they need volunteers in Denver to assist in the unloading, bundling, bagging, tagging and loading large mail pieces. The bulk of the volunteers (8-12) will be meeting at a "Mail House" in Denver to process the mailings which will then be "dropped" by truck at the USPS General Mail Facility (53rd and Quebec - near old Stapleton) that day (one volunteer needed to assist with delivery). The mail house staff will train and supervise all volunteers. The pieces will support Markey for Congress.

They will be targeting time period is approx. 11am to 3:30pm for the "mailhouse processing" portion and one volunteer is needed for one volunteer to company the mail to the USPS facility to help unload the pallets,etc. which occurs, usually, 3:30-5pm.

This program saves a great deal of money by allowing reduced postage costs and touches hundreds of thousands of voters. Rarely does a volunteer have the opportunity to have more impact.

If you are interested in this opportunity please Call Jamie Grim for specifics. Jamie's Number is (970) 980-6291
