From a Free and Equal Elections Foundation email blast:
The Free and Equal Elections Foundation wishes you and your family special happiness during this holiday season as we kick off an important election year filled with crucial choices for our country.
At the Free and Equal Elections Foundation, we are wrapping up an ambitious year, having hosted or produced many events that promote our enduring mission of broadening electoral choices through education. “More Voices, More Choices.”
We produced our successful 2nd Annual Electoral Reform Symposium earlier this month, gathering in person in Glendale, Colorado and globally via a live stream. The room was packed with people interested in topics ranging from alternative voting methods, ballot access, gerrymandering, electoral college, campaign finance, voter machine verification, to open Presidential debates.
The speakers included Deputy Secretary of State Suzanne Staiert, Congressman Tom Tancredo, Harvie Branscomb of Election Integrity, Clerk and Recorder of Arapahoe County Matt Crane, Aaron Hamlin of Center for Election Science, Rob Richie of FairVote, Aaron Estevez-Miller of #StudentVoicesCount, 2012 Libertarian VP Candidate Judge Jim Gray, Green Party Presidential Candidate Dr. Jill Stein, Sharon Meroni of Defend the Vote, and Nate Kaplan of See Political.
We again thank our sponsors, especially Marley Coffee, Dr. Bronner’s, Hearthstone Winery, TeaZen, Nature’s Path Organic Foods, World Centric, and especially our co-host Fair Elections for Colorado for their generous support of this educational event.
While in Colorado, F&E Founder and Chair Christina Tobin visited with the #StudentVoicesCount team at CU Boulder. The Denver Post describes the new collaboration between CU Boulder and F&E for a third annual United We Stand Fest and final open presidential debate in 2016 at CU Boulder’s Coors Event Center next October.
