<p>Ari Armstrong has written an item for the Denver Post that was discussed on Grassroots Radio Colorado (KLZ 560 AM) during the 5:00-6:00 p.m. hour October 24, 2012. The opinion piece should be read before anyone votes on Amendment 65 measure that is on the ballot. </p>

<p>It seems like I heard Randy B. Corporon and Representative Chris Holbert discussing this item during a segment on the same radio show earlier in the week and they may have indicated that they would vote for the measure--as a "yes" on Amendment 65. However, neither Randy nor Chris offered much discussion for consideration.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Having read Ari Armstrong's discussion, I would strongly encourage everyone to read his opinion and refer to your copy of the Constition for reflection before voting on Amendment 65 for either position.</p>

<p><span class="font-size-4"> In the last ten days we have added 4 new members to the Arapahoe Tea Party membership rolls! This increases our membership to 302! We now have over 300 members for the first time ever! Let's all welcome the new members, and encourage them to become active as we head into the coming election.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4"> In addition to that let's reach out to those inactive members, and try to get them re-involved. Our meetings are scheduled for the first Tuesday of each month and we are contemplating adding a few additional meetings this summer going into the election season. Bookmark this page and check back often for updates, additional meeting dates and other outside associated or recommended events. </span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4"> Going into the election season we need to remember that we are the 21st century version of volunteers that are replacing the 18th century volunteers of the original Tea Party and our founding fathers. Get informed, remain vigilant, stay active and save our union for the future. </span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4"> I'd like to see some writing and posting to the blog pages and the ATP Forum pages so we can have some discussion and debate going about the issues that we are facing in our communities and our nation. We may not always agree on the resolutions to issues or even what the issues are, but discussion and debate helps us all become better informed. And those following the discussions, even those not participating, are also learning and becoming informed. We are going to have to devote some time and energy to winning the next election with conservative ideas, conservative candidates and positive goals for the direction of our country. </span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">Thank you, and welcome to our members. </span></p>
