I was at a Democratic Party county reorganization meeting on Saturday, and the next day I got onto the Colorado state government's website to update a spreadsheet I keep of information about which counties have pieces of which districts. I discovered pretty quickly that the district numbers given on my voter information card sent by the county clerk did not match the maps provided by the state.
This means I went to the wrong district meetings on Saturday (I was only invited as an observer, so there's little consequence in my case). But I also don't know what I will do at the time of the caucus if this isn't sorted out by then.
I want to encourage everyone to check the information given to them by their county clerks against the redistricting maps given by their states.

Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
Hmm. That "and" in the First Amendment is peculiar. It should have been "or". The presence of a comma before "and" indicates that the right to assemble and the right to petition are separate.
