Protecting the absolute most vulnerable among us should be the highest priority of all citizens no matter their political stripes.  Sadly Colorado Democrats chose to side with predators and molesters instead of children and once again killed Jessica’s Law. 45 of 50 states now have a Jessica’s Law on their books.  Named after Jessica Lunsford, [...]

For decades United States citizens have seen the rights granted them under the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution eroded.  A number of measures now being considered in the Colorado legislature seek to restore some of what has been taken against our nation’s forefathers’ wishes. The federal government, courts and state lawmakers have all [...]

Our neighbors to the north in Wyoming severely limit the amount of time their state legislature is in session.  Here in Colorado, we take a different approach allowing our paid representatives extra time in session to consider such worthy things as creating an official state amphibian. Yup, you read that right.  House Bill 1147, an [...]

The north Denver metro area has an inferiority complex and for good reason.  For decades we have been ignored and neglected by the powers that be at the state capitol despite our growing populace.  In the fight over congressional redistricting, Colorado Republicans appear set to repeat the wrongs of the past by ignoring the sixth [...]

Once again the Colorado Legislature is debating a measure that would put illegal immigrants on equal footing to American citizens.  Senate Bill 11-126 would allow illegal immigrants to pay the lower in-state tuition rates at Colorado’s higher education institutions.  This measure is sheer folly and rewards those who break the law while putting them above [...]

I was watching some video of the union and anti-union protests at the state capitol yesterday and in one of them, I noticed something interesting.  State Representatives Judy Solano and John Soper were seen cheering on their union buddies from the balcony of the capitol building. With all the drama in Wisconsin and other states [...]

It is my fervent belief that if something is illegal, it is against the law and as such it should be called just that – it isn’t a difficult concept and is pretty common sense.  Democratic lawmakers at the state capitol and 9News however disagree. Once again legislators will be debating whether or not illegal [...]

Goofy last names, phony charisma and a hidden leftwing agenda seem to be a winning ticket for Democrats.  Much like how Barack Obama won two years ago, John Hickenlooper capitalized on the same things to win Colorado’s gubernatorial race.  This race should have been an easy win for Republicans but the self destruction of Scott [...]

Democrats have had a monopoly controlling Colorado government.  With them in charge of the governor’s office, the State House and the State Senate, the state has continued a downhill slide with out of control spending and the trampling of our rights.  It has to stop. I firmly believe that it is never a good idea [...]

With the Democrats in control in the state legislature, one might get the feeling we live in California instead of Colorado.  With some extremely pressing issues in need to attention at the state capitol, some of our legislators have nothing better to do than to propose asinine laws that do nothing but further the growing [...]
