 August 24th with John Suthers--From Frieda:
Peter and I are hosting a fundraiser for Colorado Attorney General John Suthers at our home next Tuesday, August 24, from 5:30 to 7 pm.  You probably know that John is running for reelection and had the courage, along with 19 other Republican Attorneys General from around the country, to bring suit challenging the new health care legislation in federal court.

In John's case, he had to overcome the objections of the Democratic Governor and Legislature to pursue this litigation.  As a result, the Democrats plan to mount a campaign to unseat him and have enlisted the District Attorney of Boulder County to run against him.  John needs money to counter their efforts.

The requested donation to attend the event is $100.  The minimum donation to be on the Host Committee is $500.  If you would like to bring a potluck appetizer to the event, it will help assure that funds raised go to John's campaign.

We look forward to seeing you next Tuesday.
