“Dear Senate District 32 Vacancy Committee Members,

I want to thank you for your vote of confidence at last night's selection meeting. I am honored and humbled. And I am "off to the races" - starting right now.

I have 4 days left of clinic and so will have limited availability on December 14, 16, 21, and 28. However, I will be checking email regularly and returning phone messages the next day.

I am very excited to be working with such a dedicated and progressive group of people. And I am going to need your help!

Susan Lontine, who is a friend and experienced aide at the legislature, will be working as my aide. In the next three weeks I want to work on organizing our community for change. I would like to make the following requests:

House and Senate District Chairs and Co-Chairs: Please make every effort to fill any and all vacant PCP slots in the next 60 days; the more hands on deck the more effective we will be; PCPs - if you have an email and phone list for the people you represent, I would appreciate your help in updating the email and phone numbers and in finding out from people what issues they are most interested in being involved with.

I would love to create a well oiled machine that can make quick outreach to everyone in the district as bills come up that are of interest to them; Everyone: know that my door is always open and that I will work as hard as possible to advance the platform of the Democratic Party this year and in the years to come.

Please Please Please let me know if I ever do anything that concerns you

- the best way for me to learn is to receive open and honest feedback from all of you; Anyone who can is encouraged to attend and bring your family, friends, organizations to Health Care for All Colorado's community organizing training event on January 8 and 9, 2011.

"Educate, Agitate, Organize - Health Care for All!". While the focus will be on health care the tools we will learn will help us in all of our efforts for change. January 8, noon to 5 p.m.
