- These Calls to Action are not sanctioned by anyone. Not the RNC and not the BOCOGOP either, though they give me this platform to use and will kick me off if I misuse it.
- I create this. If you send me items to post, I may edit it, or I may not. I appreciate it when things are sent because I cannot keep track of all that goes on in Boulder County!
- The amount and thoroughness of these has only to do with how much time I have to spend on it and has nothing to do with the importance of an event. Half the time I send this out and then notice 3 more items that you might have been interested in as well.
- I assume this is not your only place to retrieve this sort of information.
- And finally – I write conversationally – in other words, not well. ;-)
Thank you for your time – and thank you for your continued support for everything that goes on in Boulder County!
