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 The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
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.
