Farley Report
Howdy, Friends O'Farley…
Remember the classic Bill Murray movie Groundhog Day? Where he keeps re-living the same day over and over again, and eventually starts trying to change his behavior to end the cycle? His attempts never work until he finally decides to do the right thing and take care of the most vulnerable citizens in town and do other kind things to help make his community a better place.

Maurice was a native of Michigan. In 1955, he moved to Tucson, where he founded the University of Arizona's Ceramic Arts program the following year. He taught at the UA for 35 years and was the recipient of the UA's Creative Teaching Award.
Maurice studied in Japan as a Fullbright Scholar, and he received a National Endowment for the Arts grant in 1986. He was internationally recognized for his pottery, and very involved in the local arts community.
Maurice worked tirelessly on Democratic Party causes. After the death of his wife, he came out as a gay man, and he fought for GLBT rights, as well as many other social causes. Read the rest of the message.

Five for Terry's Birthday
Dear Friends,
Thanks to your strong support we have in over half of our $5 contributions for Goddard for Governor. Every day, we open the mail to notes of support for Terry's agenda of strong leadership.
Today is Terry's birthday! Let's give him the best present ever -- and make Goddard for Governor a reality.
To get on the ballot and qualify for Clean Elections, we need to finish getting our $5 contributions and gathering signatures for Terry as quickly as possible.
Can you help today in honor of Terry's hard work?
1. Download the Five for Goddard form (PDF) and send in a $5 contribution today! If you have done it already, thank you! If you can, send it on to a friend. We are trying to get them all in by February 14th!
2. Send an email to FiveforGoddard@gmail.com, and we will mail you a petition - each page only has 15 signatures so if you can do more, let us know.
As we watch what it is happening in our state, it is clear that now more than ever, we need someone who will stand up for the right priorities for Arizona. Let's give Terry a great birthday present with a flood of fives!
Together we can meet Arizona's challenges by helping a proven leader get on the ballot!

"He was simply the nicest person you'd ever want to meet," said Jeff Rogers, Pima County Democratic Party chair. "We will miss his generosity of time and his effort, but what we'll really miss is the man we knew and admired."
Doug Noffsinger, a long time friend of Grossman's, told the Arizona Daily Star of Mr. Grossman: "He's probably registered more people to vote in Pima County than any other living person. And he always did that in outfits like an Uncle Sam hat, or a red, white and blue boa."
Maurice is survived by two children, Lauren and Stephen Grosman, both of Seattle. He was preceded in death by his wife, Marilyn Gracey Grossman, and his oldest daughter, Barbara Jean Grossman.
