Boulder Daily Camera = Twitter Fail
My city council voted (@ roughly 8:30 p.m. MT today) on an issue that I’m very interested in (height ordinances on pop-ups), but I wasn’t around to hear what the vote was.

Happy weekend everyone.

Why Republicans Are Going After ACORN
ACORN helps poor people with tax problems, mortgage issues and with registering to vote. Most poor people vote Democratic.
