OK, I went to this meeting and it was about what I expected. They had pizza donated from Cozella's, salad, sodas and wine, cake for desert. After we all ate the host asked everyone to introduce themselves and why they were attending tonight. Most of the attendees were older persons and retired and there was extreme hostility towards Republicans simply because they were Republicans. Some of these people REALLY have it in for Corey Gardner and want him voted out next election. When it got around to me I told them that I was a Kennedy democrat, stated that in my opinion all of the current crop of politicians in office in DC, no matter the party, were bought and paid for, completely corrupt and danced to strings pulled by puppet masters that manipulated the system for personal gain and that after what went down in the Colorado these last two weeks that most of the Colorado legislature were no better than hacks that took orders from DC, not the people that elected them. I told them I was disgusted with the system as a whole and I was at the meeting tonight to see if was among like minded people that wanted legitimate change for the people or, were there to promote the status quo for their own situations. I was almost immediately interrupted attacked by two women but just as quickly I silenced there attacks by asking them that if I was wrong to point it out and I would gladly stand down. They just stood there quietly and I continued with my angry rant about corruption in government. Other people spoke and stated their opinions and why they were there, no one said anything cross to me. Several of the people said that were born into Republican families and later became democrats, it should come as no surprise that they were from NJ, NY and MA. One young lady that was part of the "team" said she wanted to further discuss my views. I told her I would be happy to talk to them at a later date about change and how best to accomplish changes that were beneficial to all of the people. I kept my mouth shut the rest of the evening.

Then the organizers spoke. These are very young people and are very idealistic, they take their orders from the White House, have no understanding of our history and are very good at pushing the buttons of the older group that was there, mostly by mentioning how the Affordable Health Care Act was so beneficial to them with their existing conditions (by a show of hands) and the 31 million people that are now eligible for free health insurance. They are a grass roots volunteer canvasing and fundraising organization and want to elect democrats with loyalties to the democratic progressive movement. They want to build a organization in NorCO and will work to bring all of the smaller groups (Greeley, Loveland, Ft. Collins and others) together under one central office organizing committee. Immigration reform is the next big thing on the agenda and this will be the focus in the coming months. No details yet.

Before I left I made sure that I was on their mailing and email lists. Everyone was courteous and friendly. One other young lady said she wanted to talk again as what I said at the beginning of the meeting was unexpected and she felt diverse opinion was good for the group. In my opinion these organizers are enemies of the republic and want America changed into a progressive utopia where they are in control for the good of the people. They are deceivers and are extremely well organized in their mission. They are having a grand old time keeping the conservative vote split while concentrating theirs. I have not seen or heard of anything on this scale, on any level really, from the conservative side. I will attend other meetings and report back on what I observe.
