THE NEW CFRW WEBSITE TOOK NATIONAL AWARD! CONGRATULATIONS, DEBRA ELLIOTT!
March 18, 2012 NFRW Winning Web of the Week -- Colorado Federation of Republican Women www.coloradogopwomen.org/
Congratulations to the Colorado Federation of Republican Women for developing one of the most informative and thorough websites which has come our way. From the Message of President Perry Buck on the home page to the Contact page, these ladies have covered it all: About CFRW – Programs – Events – 2012 Elections – Government – Political – Links – Member Center – Contact.
The following items are on every page: Upcoming Events/Registration, Find a Club, Subscribe to News Feed, and Subscribe to E-mail Updates. This is an excellent idea since these are perhaps THE most important items. The 2012 Election page is of special interest this year with its Candidate Directory, Election Calendar, Congressional Districts maps as well as Colorado House and Senate maps. The Member Center Link with Monthly Club Reports and Forms, Handbook, By-Laws, and Colorado Club Directory are most important items for members and visitors. On the About page, it is great to see so much contact information for all officers and board members – e-mail, telephone and mobile phone numbers. On the News page the archived past issues of the Tusk Talk Newsletters going back to 2006 is very impressive!
Debra Elliott, CFRW Website Administrator, is to be congratulated on a job well done for including a wealth of informationin an attractive and easy to navigate design format for the Republican Women of Colorado. Please visit www.coloradogopwomen.org/ to view a great RW website which is a wonderful source of information for all Republican women in their state.
Our only suggestion for improvement would be to add more digital photos of members, officers and events. Perhaps a photo gallery page would be a good addition.

The creator of this LONGMONT REPUBLICAN WOMEN website, Peggy Knight, is now working on the Jefferson County GOP website. As you might expect, it is GREAT! If it's happening in Colorado's Republican Party, you can probably find the details at www.jeffcorepublicans.com! Thanks for your hard work, Peggy!
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and a country should leave us no more? Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand, Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation; Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust" And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
In 1814, Francis Scott Key wrote the poem, Defense of Fort McHenry. The poem was later put to the tune of (John Stafford Smith's song) The Anacreontic Song, modified somewhat, and retitled The Star Spangled Banner. Congress proclaimed The Star Spangled Banner the U.S. National Anthem in 1931.
