Denver, Colorado - Today Pat Waak, Colorado State Party Chair, announced that Colorado will participate in the Democratic National Committee's National Neighbor-to-Neighbor Organizing Day on Saturday, April 29, 2006. The events on April 29th will kick-off a national effort by volunteers across the nation and in Colorado who will go door-to-door to talk with their neighbors about the Democratic Party's bold vision for America based on honest leadership and real security. Here in Colorado organizers have set up events through the state office at 777 Santa Fe Drive and have already signed up numerous volunteers.

This grassroots event represents an important next step in the DNC's State Partnership Project, through which the DNC has teamed up with the Colorado Democratic Party to provide staff and resources and to help turn the vision of a permanent Democratic majority into a reality. The April event is the first of three national organizing drives that are a key part of building strong Election Day teams for 2006 and beyond. Democratic volunteers are working in their communities to organize and mobilize volunteers and voters.

"The April 29 Democratic National Organizing Day will play a key role in galvanizing Democrats, Americans and Coloradans who are excited about the Democrats bold new agenda for change," said Pat Waak. "This unprecedented effort will also get the party geared up for the November elections and will show that when Democrats work together to organize at the grassroots and precinct level we can and will win elections."
