From the diaries by the Directors. Information is the most powerful weapon in the fight against the pro-abortion regime, which is supported by nothing but false promises and lies. Based on this trailer, this film has the potential to be a landmark moment in this battle. Imagine if you couldn’t speak for yourself, and there was no one to tell your story for you. Well, | Read More »
H/T Mount Virtus Non-union employees of some public school districts in Colorado are required to opt out of paying dues each year during a very short window of time. What happens when something urgent causes a worker to miss submitting their paperwork on time? That’s right, they pay their dues. They don’t care about your husband’s Parkinsons disease, or your son’s medical disabilities. They only | Read More »
Like most registered voters in Colorado, I received my Primary Election ballot in the mail last week. Ballots are due by August 10th, but I’ve already made my decisions so I’ll be mailing it in tomorrow. There are only 4 competitive races on my primary ballot. I’ll start with the only Federal race, and move to State and Local races afterwards. Senate This race is | Read More »
It’s hard to believe it’s been three years since I began posting at RedState. Like many, I began writing about well-known national issues, but after the 2008 elections, I started focusing more on State and Local issues. I worked with a couple of local City Council candidates, including the traditional knocking on doors and making phone calls. We won one and lost one. I wrote | Read More »
Tom Wiens, candidate for the U.S. Senate seat in Colorado currently held by Michael Who? Bennet has announced that he is dropping out of the race and has endorsed Ken Buck. This is a significant development in this race, as many people thought that Wiens would do more harm to Buck’s election chances than Jane Norton’s. Ken Buck won 77% of the delegates at the | Read More »

Below is an actual letter sent out last week to the employees of a company doing business in Colorado. It is presented without comment. The names of the company and the individuals have been redacted. Staff: When people say elections don’t matter, that their vote doesn’t count, and that they cannot make a difference – they are wrong! In the past few weeks and months | Read More »

After reading this , this, and especially this by Erick Erickson at RedState, I felt it necessary to write a response. A little background would be helpful first, however. Over the past decade, Colorado conservatives have taken a beating. In 2000, we held the Governor’s Mansion, the state House and Senate chambers, both U.S. Senate seats, and 5 of 7 House seats. Even so, Colorado’s | Read More »
Colorado Democrats, unable to make up any ground in the polls, have found another way to perpetuate their existence. They have proposed legislation that would re-vamp the voter registration laws in Colorado. From the Denver Post’s Jessica Fender, Among the provisions in the still-under-construction legislation: allowing same-day voter registration; pre-registering 16-year-old Coloradans; requiring a mail ballot unless communities opt out; and allowing third parties to | Read More »
Peace Action West responded to Diggs Brown’s response to the a survey about foreign policy that I wrote a diary about last week. Their response is so full of logical fallacies that it would take a month to deconstruct. Most of it is an appeal to authority of a list of dubious foreign policy experts (really, Arnold Schwarzenegger?). Rebecca Griffin tries to play off of | Read More »
Have you ever wished a political candidate would dispense with the usual evasive answers and speaking, but never really saying anything? I found a candidate that has done just that. Diggs Brown was sent a survey by Peace Action West, a liberal peacenik group. Here are some partial excerpts from Brown’s response: Do you support negotiating with Russia for deep reductions down to 1,000 or | Read More »
Your State/District is next. Love and kisses, 48 H/T to Neil Stevens for the original idea.
Betsy Markey (D, CO-4) has been working hard lately to convince the voters in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District that she is a fiscal conservative. So hard, in fact, that she claimed to have voted against the TARP funding bill even before she took office (listen here for yourself). Umm, I voted against the TARP funding, umm, you know when, of course that was actually, uh, | Read More »
The hilarious hypocrisy of Harry Reid. Is it any wonder that we don’t take the mainstream media seriously? Surely there’s one or two investigative reporters left that would’ve been able to find this video and show the utter hypocrisy of Harry’s last minute manager’s amendment that didn’t just add amendment’s to the legislation, but completely changed it so no one would know before it was | Read More »
H/T to Rossputin.com Well, at least not in the form it passed the legislature. France’s Constitutional Council has struck down a carbon tax that was planned to take effect on January 1st. The council, which ensures the constitutionality of French legislation, said too many polluters were exempted in the measure and the tax burden was not fairly distributed. Sound familiar? It should.

From the diaries by Erick. This is MASTERFUL. Update: I was interviewed by Amy Oliver at KFKA 1310, an AM Talk Radio station in Greeley, Colorado about this diary. You can listen to the archive here. I also plan to update the section on the Governor’s race in the near future now that Bill Ritter has announced he is no longer going to seek re-election. | Read More »
Congressman Alan Grayson (FL-08) has asked Eric Holder to investigate Angie Langley, founder of the website MyCongressmanIsNuts.com for election law violations. How exactly could free speech be characterized as a violation of election law? Well, according to Grayson, Langley does not live within his district, and has therefore lied to election officials. That’s right, because the website name is mycongressmanisnuts.com, she’s perpetuating a lie. Will | Read More »
The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled today that authorities in Weld County violated the rights of illegal immigrants when they seized their tax records during an identity theft investigation. This is yet another example of liberals legislating from the Bench in Colorado. The Washington Times has more on the story, including some quotes from Congressman Tom Tancredo. This state supreme court is by far the | Read More »
