| Nothing is more divisive on Colorado's blogosphere than DPS. There are those on the Merida/Defense Denver side, and those on the Stand Up for Kids/Nate Easley side. There are two things I find when I listen to both sides: One, both sides genuinely care about Denver's kids. Two, both sides are drumming up support for Emily Sirota.
My friends know I have occassionally dissed David Sirota for attacking our President from the left. On the other hand, I salute him for being intelligent, progressive, and passionate. Whether you love David Sirota, or can't stand him, everyone seems to have an opinion about his in-your-face politics. He is great at what he is paid to do -- creating controversy.
Emily Sirota is different. She is calm, sane, thoughtful, a good listener, and reasonable. As a Social Worker, she has a strong commitment to kids from every family and every neighborhood. She knows what urban public school kids are up against, and she is prepared to defend them and make a difference for them.
Please join me in supporting Emily Sirota for Denver Public Schools, and please consider attending this AMAZING fundraiser on Thursday evening! You will have an opportunity to meet Montana's Governor Brian Schweitzer, as well as many other Democratic VIPs.

If you are not sure where she stands on the issues you care about, please attend and ask her. Lord knows, CO bloggers have a wide range of opinions, and she should hear yours! |
