More than 100
Scheduled to Attend CACI’s Fundraising Reception Tuesday, August
31st, to Meet Legislative Candidates Competing in Key
Races
More than 100 people are scheduled to attend CACI’s fundraising
reception, to be held from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., Tuesday, August
31st, at the Westin Tabor Center, to raise money for
CACI’s small-donor committee to support a small number of
pro-business legislative candidates running in critical “swing”
districts.
There is no charge for admission to the reception. To RSVP for
the reception, contact Christine Gavin at 303.866.9628 or via
e-mail.
The Event Sponsor of the reception is
Intrado.
The CACI reception will be held in the Augusta Room at
The Westin
Tabor Center, which is the Host Sponsor.
These important legislative races—less than ten in number—will
likely determine whether or not the 2011 and 2012 session of the
Colorado General Assembly will be “business friendly,” or a
replay of the fractious session earlier this year that was
undoubtedly the most difficult for the business community in
recent memory.
CACI members who attend the reception will meet most of the
candidates running in these important races. CACI will provide
financial support for these candidates from both its
political-action committee and its small-donor committee.
CACI encourages its members to contribute $50 in advance to
CACI’s small-donor committee, The CACI Prosperity Fund,
or bring a personal check for that amount made out to the
Fund to the event. To help support CACI’s small-donor
committee, please click now on the Donate button below to allow
you the convenience of making a secure, on-line contribution of
$50.
The 2010 general election will be held November 2nd,
and business-friendly legislative candidates need your support
now.
NOTE: For those who have
contributed either to CACI’s Colorado Business Political
Action Committee or to The CACI Prosperity Fund,
there will be drawings for several door prizes, including two
Southwest Airlines tickets and Outback Steakhouse gift
certificates. You must be present to win. Tricia Smith, CACI
Director of Events and Programs, will have a master list and
will have you checked off to participate in the drawings.
Support CACI’s Endorsed State Legislative Candidates
CACI’s list of 56 state
legislative candidates, which it has endorsed for
election in November, can be found on the CACI Web site. Since
the legislative session adjourned in early May, CACI has been
working hard to ensure that a “business-friendly” legislature
convenes next January.
The list includes 36 incumbents and 20 new candidates running
for seats in the Colorado House of Representatives and the
Colorado Senate.
If you live in the district of one of these candidates, or if
your business is located in a candidate’s district, please
consider giving a personal contribution of up to $400 to the
candidate. You can usually locate a candidate’s Web site by
simply Googling the candidate’s name.
In addition, to determine in which Senate and House districts
you reside and work, visit
The
Colorado Prosperity Project page on the CACI Web
site.
