Those who served and are serving in our nation’s military are some of the finest citizens our nation has to offer.  It is no wonder that politicians pander to – and often exploit them – for their own benefit.  Sadly that is happening right now in the current local election cycle. It is a recurring theme played [...]

One basic lesson of working online could be that if you are going to try to post a message as someone else, be sure you are logged in as that person.  It appears however State Representative Judy Solano and her husband Manny Solano missed that part of Facebook 101. This recently came my way via [...]

YouTube can be such a terrible waste of time but there are occasions when it is a boon.  Yesterday we posted video of Colorado State Representatives Judy Solano and John Soper cheering on the union rally at the capitol.  Thanks to a comment left on that story we now have video of RTD Director Ken [...]

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 [...]

In a late night session, the Colorado House Education Committee voted 7 – 6 in favor of a measure that reforms teacher tenure and holds teachers accountable for their performance.  In a not-so-surprising vote, Representative Judy Solano voted against the measure.  As is, after a teacher achieves tenure, it is virtually impossible to fire or [...]

The mayor was elected to his present office in 2007 after [...]
