     THE PRESIDENT:  Good evening.  Tonight, I’d like to talk to you about the end of our combat mission in Iraq, the ongoing security challenges we face, and the need to rebuild our nation here at home. 
 
I know this historic moment comes at a time of great uncertainty for many Americans.  We’ve now been through nearly a decade of war.  We’ve endured a long and painful recession.  And sometimes in the midst of these storms, the future that we’re trying to build for our nation -- a future of lasting peace and long-term prosperity -- may seem beyond our reach.
 
But this milestone should serve as a reminder to all Americans that the future is ours to shape if we move forward with confidence and commitment.  It should also serve as a message to the world that the United States of America intends to sustain and strengthen our leadership in this young century.
 

Denver Dems Executive Committee Votes Unanimously To Oppose Amendment 62

The Democratic Party of Denver's Executive Committee Votes Unamously to Oppose Amendment 62

 

Calling it an affront to the rights of women and families and a violation of our Constitutional guarantees, the Democratic Party of Denver’s Executive Committee adopted a resolution opposing Amendment 62 and urging a “No” vote on the dangerous amendment on the ballots in the November 2, 2010 General Election.

 

Colorado voters defeated a similar ballot measure in 2008 with 73% of the statewide vote, and the 49 members present at Tuesday’s Democratic Party of Denver’s Executive Committee voted unanimously to oppose Amendment 62, to educate voters, and to work to defeat the proposed amendment.

 

Amendment 62 attempts to define the term “person” in the Colorado Constitution, using “the beginning of the biological development” as the point at which a “person” gains legal protection, subsequently infringing on a woman’s Constitutional right to make personal, private decisions about her body and her health.

 

“I am proud to say that the Executive Committee of the Democratic Party of Denver recognizes that it is wrong to criminalize deeply personal and private health care decisions,” said Cindy Lowery, Chair of the Democratic Party of Denver.  “We stand together today with other organizations opposing this measure and fully support a woman's right to choose.”
