From a march in northern Colorado

5. We're chipping away at the red stranglehold on offices.

We just got a second Democrat on city council, and had to sue to get that done; they'd seated a guy who lied about a felony record, but he's a republican so they made the suit necessary. It's a battle, and it never stops. But we're not stopping, either.

We had about 200 show up for our march, which surprised and delighted even the organizers. The newspaper left after counting 150, then more showed up.

I made a bumper sticker that reads only "62%". It's a response to the newspapers headline that Republicans "dominate" voter registrations with 38%. When asked about my sticker, which is purple, I explain that 62% of registered voters are NOT republicans (most of the balance being unaffiliated and Democrats).
