Membership Meeting

Colorado College Political Science Professor Bob Loevy gave an excellent analysis of what has happened to the Republican and Democratic parties over the last 40 years at our August meeting. He also handicapped the upcoming November general election. Many thanks to Professor Loevy!

The September 9th PPFC meeting will feature two great topics. State Representative Marsha Looper will recap the 2010 legislative session and report on the “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” bills of the 2010 session. State Senator will speak on the November ballot issues: Amendments 60 and 61 and Proposition 101.

Win up to **103** Firearms and a Gun Safe

The Colorado Springs Friends of NRA is raffling off about $50,000 in guns and a gun safe!! The committee is selling 2011 “Girls and Guns” calendars for $50. Each calendar is an entry into the firearm raffle. Each Saturday in 2011, two firearms will be given away. Each entry can win multiple times. So, if you are very, very lucky, you could win 103 firearms and a gun safe for a $50 ticket!

There is a link on the PPFC website to a list of the firearms and locations where calendars are being sold. Calendars will be available at the September PPFC meeting. There will only be 2,000 calendars sold so you chances of wining a firearm are very good. These will go fast, so don’t miss out!
