Fellow Dems,
It's countdown time! Hope you've been stumping for all the great Dems on the ticket. Here are a few announcements: 1. Obama/Biden Signs: We managed to buy a limited number of these signs. We are selling them at our cost on a first-come, first-serve basis. Gunnisonites - you can buy a sign at the Dem Headquarters at 302 W. Tomichi Ave. North Valley folks - you can get a sign from Fran Wickenhauser (349-5208). If he runs out of the ones we sent to CB with him, you can watch the window at the Purple Rain Emporium. Michael Greene has ordered more online and they will be sold at thePurple Rain when they arrive. 2. There are also Hap, Paula, Udall, and Salazar signs at the Dem Headquarters. 3. The candidates would appreciate your support at the Board of Realtors Candidates Forum on Tues. Oct. 7, at 7 PM at the Fred Field Multi-purpose Bldg in Gunnison. Set your DVR for the Presidential debate, come support Hap & Paula, then go home to watch the debate. 4. The League of Women Voters will host a Ballot Issues Forum Thurs. evening (Oct. 9), 7 PM, also at the Multi-purpose Bldg in Gunnison.
