Guide to BCU Candidate Questionnaire and Responses

Welcome to Boulder Community United's Candidate Questionnaire and Responses for the 2009 Boulder City Council election. We are using this free blog site to post the information since we don't have a website of our own at this time. Below are the candidates' responses to our questionnaire. Each candidate's name is in the title of the comment (see the Blog Archive to the right to navigate to each one), and each has pasted their responses into the questionnaire so that the questions and answers appear together. We have not enabled comments at this time, simply due to the time required to moderate. We hope you will appreciate this opportunity to understand each candidate better. Don't forget to vote!

Here is the introduction we sent each candidate:
Dear Candidate,

Boulder Community United is a union of organizations working for social justice in Boulder. It includes the following and is open to all organizations working toward this goal:

As a prospective Council member, we would like to understand your position on the following questions, and to extend an invitation to speak at our forum at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Oct 4th at the YWCA, 2222 14th St., Boulder.
