[Larimer County] Remaining September events for Dem candidates...

[RobertDevereaux]

September, 2004

We are currently organizing a Rock the Vote Concert for September 24th, here in Fort Collins at the Aggie theater. It is a non-partisan event aimed at registering the young people of Fort Collins to vote (as well as actually getting them to vote on November 2nd and if they do register, they will be included in the GOTV effort!). Unfortunately, our funds raised are not sufficient to fully fund the concert. If you would like to donate to the concert please email Paul at [e-mail] or call him at [phone]. Thank you for your consideration.
