Congratulations to LRW Member
BONNIE FINLEY
for her election to LONGMONT CITY COUNCIL, WARD 3!
Congratulations also to Brian Bagley who won in Ward 1!
Unfortunately, Former Mayor Bryan Baum lost his re-election bid by 175 votes.
6,356 Republicans in Longmont received ballots but failed to vote.
Each one of those 6,356 voters probably thought their vote didn't matter.
It did.

SOLICITATION FOR YOUR INPUT INTO BOULDER COUNTY AND THE CITY OF BOULDER'S
CLIMATE CHANGE PREPAREDNESS PLAN
Dear Boulder County Residents: You have paid for this plan to be drafted, and you will pay for any regulations that come from it. You will pay not only with your hard earned dollars, but also with continued loss of property rights and personal freedom. Please educate yourself on Agenda 21 and ICLEI (start at our Information Page), and then read this proposed plan.
I have had the opportunity to speak with Lisa Friend, Boulder County’s Sustainability Planner, and am convinced that she is working out of concern for her community. She has graciously met with me, addressed my concerns, and watched some of the videos we have posted on our Information Page. She said that she does not see the connection between the concerns highlighted in the videos and the plans she proposes. Unfortunately, her solution to a contrived future crisis based on unsubstantiated and often refuted data, is Socialism. By the way, you also pay her salary.
Please, my dear neighbors, you MUST get involved here and now! It is no longer enough to simply vote (or relinquish your vote) in November. The Liberty we Americans take for granted is being eroded steadily by “Plans” like this at the local level. The erosion can be stopped, but only with YOUR help!
In Liberty,
Peg Cage, President

Please sing the U.S. National Anthem
The Star Spangled Banner
(All 4 Verses!)
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
In 1814, Francis Scott Key wrote the poem, Defense of Fort McHenry. The poem was later put to the tune of (John Stafford Smith's song) The Anacreontic Song, modified somewhat, and retitled The Star Spangled Banner. Congress proclaimed The Star Spangled Banner the U.S. National Anthem in 1931.
Keep copies of the lyrics in your wallet!
