Brian Colon, Our Democratic Party Chairman!

“The rumors of my demise are premature,” was the first words spoken by Democratic State Party Chairman Brian Colon. The Republican controlled news media has been made to eat their words. The Democratic State Central Committee met today and brought word from all around the State of New Mexico that voting democrats support our party chairman. Democratic Party Chairman Brain Colon was received with standing applauds as he greeted members of the State Central Committee, the public and elected officials of the Democratic Party. He thanked the party leaders, the voting public and his devoted wife for their strong support during what can only be describe as brutal attacks over the last few weeks since the Democratic Caucus by the local news media in an attempt to cut of the head of the Democratic Party here in New Mexico. The news media would have us believe that his days as party chairman were numbered but democrats knew better. We don’t like other groups trying to pick our party leadership. We are ready for change, we are strong and this will be our year. New Mexico is looking at having two Democratic Senators, three Democratic Congressmen (Maybe only two. Come on down South you guys can do it for the party) and one very well known Democratic Governor. New Mexico could become a truly blue state in the next year and all it will take is getting the democratic vote out.

Was it too much of a good thing?

We should have bigger problems in New Mexico then too many democratic voters all trying to vote at the same time. Our party was not totally ready for record turnout at the Democratic Caucus held this last February 5 but come June 3 and November 4 Bernalillo County Clerk Maggie Toulouse-Oliver will be more than ready for record turn out in our county. Both the Governor and the Lt. Governor will also work hard to see that the rest of the state is ready for record turn out. Both Governor Bill Richardson and Lt. Governor Diane Denish are looking into what caused the problems that occurred on February 5. Governor Richardson and Party Chairman Colon will be holding an open forum on April 25 to hear from the voters on what happened and to hear the public’s input on ways to make the process work better. Our party leadership is listing and they care greatly what the voting public has to say to them. No one views voter opinions as more important than the Democratic Party Leadership here in New Mexico. Never has there been a better time for voters to express their views to our Democratic Party leadership.
