Obama to kick off 2012 campaign tonight conference call
Apr 5th
Yesterday, Barack Obama and Joe Biden began their 2012 campaign. Tonight, they want to talk to you.
At 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time, the President and Vice President will be holding a campaign conference call for the supporters and volunteers who’ve powered this movement for the past two years. I hope you can join us.
As the 2012 campaign kicks off, we want to thank you for all that you’ve done, give a briefing on next steps as we build a new organization upon the foundation we’ve built together, and get everyone fired up for what lies ahead.
RSVP here to join tonight’s call, or listen live online.
We’ve accomplished a lot over the last two years — but our work is far from done.
President Obama needs to continue his efforts to put Americans back to work and more fundamentally change the way business gets done in Washington. And while he keeps his focus on the job he was elected to do, he’s relying more than ever on supporters like you to start laying the groundwork — so we’re prepared for when the race hits full speed next year.
You can get in on the ground floor as we build this campaign.
Please join the President on tonight’s phone call. RSVP here to get a call at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time, or to listen in online:

If you can’t make tonight’s kick-off call, there will be another one this Thursday, April 7th, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time. David Axelrod and I will talk about the strategy for the first few months of this campaign — RSVP here for that second call.
Talk to you soon,
Messina

Boulder police negotiate peaceful end to standoff
Apr 4th
A man who threatened to kill himself with a gun surrendered peacefully to Boulder police this evening. He is in custody at the Boulder County Jail, and will undergo a mental health evaluation. Police are not releasing his identity.
The incident began around 3:20 p.m. on April 4. A female friend called police and told dispatchers that the man was suicidal and that he was armed with a handgun outside Boulder Community Hospital
The Boulder Police SWAT Team arrived and isolated the suspect near a wall at the northeast corner of the hospital. Police could see that the man did have a weapon, which he pointed at his head a number of times during the standoff.
SWAT crisis negotiators established a rapport with the man and spoke with him throughout the afternoon and evening and attempted to convince him to surrender peacefully. Although the man was armed, he never threatened police or anyone else. Around 7:00 this evening, he agreed to surrender his weapon and was taken into custody without incident.
The suspect will face misdemeanor charges of Disorderly Conduct and Unlawful Carrying of a Concealed Weapon.
