1. My Recommendations

In this final editIon before the election I am putting my recommendations first, but since I should be able to assume that most people reading this report have already voted my biggest recommendation is to make sure everyone around you has voted as well. I recommend voting for all of the Republican candidates. However, in Larimer County the District Attorney race has no Republican on the ballot. I recommend voting for the unaffiliated candidate, Dawn Downs.

Truth and Liberty voter guides are available! Printed versions are being distributed, but online versions can be found here.

My State ballot recommendations can be found here. This is also where I have the judge recommendations that Senator Rob Woodward sent to me. I pass it on to you for your consideration.

2. The hypocrisy of Griswold

When Tina Peters was accused of sharing Mesa county passwords all of the machines were replaced and she got several years in prison. But when the shoe is on the other foot, and Secretary Griswold is caught exposing the passwords for 63 counties and kept it a secret for several days right before the election, it becomes an honest mistake and no big deal. I say either pardon Tina or arrest Jena. Or, better yet, do both, for Jena is clearly guilty of withholding the facts from the public and Tina was just trying to get to the truth so everyone could know what the facts are.

Further, to reassure Colorado citizens that their vote will be counted properly in this election ditch these compromised electronic systems and hand count the paper ballots now. Click here for a detailed set of graphics that explain this sordid tale.

For more information on this still breaking story click here.

I repeat my demand: ditch these compromised electronic systems and hand count the paper ballots now.

3. Go Vote 24

Click here for a short video on voting in Colorado that features several Colorado Republican champions for freedom.

4. What to Expect From this Election

The election ends on Tuesday, but we are being warned that the results will be slow in coming and everyone is holding their breath for much hangs on the presidential and congressional races.

Supposedly the polls are a razor-thin even match, but all the momentum seems to be with Trump and I will be surprised if the vote totals reflect the current polls. Too many pollsters have become propaganda specialists who get more business if everything looks very close right before the election. Close elections also sell papers and increase viewers. The media has perfected this tension, much to the detriment of a fair and reasonable election

Take away the hype and the far too great a possibility of widespread voting fraud and this looks and feels like a landslide for Trump. But I cannot rule out the possibility of serious election cheating. The electronic systems are designed with way too many vulnerabilities.

Aside from who wins, will the results have enough credibility to be believed? I have been pounding the drum for greater accuracy and transparency for many years. I openly opposed the mail ballot system here in Colorado when it was adopted in 2013 (click here for my speech before the state senate).

Please work to get the vote out and pray for God’s protection.

1. Judges, Ballot and Candidate Recommendations

The clock is ticking! If you haven’t turned in your ballot vote as soon as you can and get other like-minded citizens to vote. I recommend voting for all of the Republican candidates. However, in Larimer County the District Attorney race has no Republican on the ballot. I recommend voting for the unaffiliated candidate, Dawn Downs.

Truth and Liberty voter guides are available! Printed versions are being distributed, but online versions can be found here.

My State ballot recommendations can be found here. This is also where I have the judge recommendations that Senator Rob Woodward sent to me. I pass it on to you for your consideration.

2. More on No on Proposition 131

Last week I published brief comments on Prop. 131. The Rocky Mountain Voice asked me to expand on my thoughts, and published it this week. That commentary can be found here.

3. “Utility Scale” Solar Power

Recently Greg Walcher, a Colorado based natural resources expert, published a good article on some of what it would take to rely on solar power for entire cities. It is worth considering.

I power my home with solar, off the grid, but I also know that it is not practical nor economical to have solar as the base load for entire areas.

4. Are Voting Machines Connected to the Internet?

Please vote, if for no other reason than to overwhelm the fraud that may be baked into the present system. Of course the Colorado Secretary of State (SOS) denies it, but the evidence is mounting that election officials are hiding a great deal. If their voting systems are as accurate and bullet proof as they say they are, then why do they refuse to let their machines and voting systems be scrutinized by county clerks and independent experts?

2. Ranked Choice Voting: a Very Bad Idea (Prop 131)

Proposition 131 will create a jungle primary and ranked choice voting for elections in Colorado. The jungle primary puts all candidates in one big, complex primary election which is a dangerous policy that will pretty much eliminate our two major party system of governance. I say this because the main purpose of a political party is to choose their candidate for each elected office in general elections. The jungle primary eliminates this role for the parties, rendering their main purpose moot.

The power vacuum this creates will be filled by the rich and powerful. With political parties swept aside the rich and powerful will have a clear path to buy their way into office or buy the candidates of their choice without any meaningful competition from average citizens. Today those average citizens can amplify their voice though political parties. Take away this essential power of selecting candidates for general elections will have the net effect of stripping away the voices of average citizens from the political process. A jungle primary is not democratic, it is autocratic.

But wait, there is more. Ranked choice voting will disrupt the voting process in a fundamental way that allows more games to be played in our elections and the complexities of the process makes any meaningful recounts of elections virtually impossible. Also, ranked choice voting is said to guarantee the winner always wins with more than 50% of the votes. However, that is only accomplished by throwing out the first votes of enough individual ballots to artificially create a majority winner, and the ultimate winner is often not even the winner of the plurality of the votes cast in the first round of counting. Here is an article that demonstrates how ranked choice voting has been a disaster in other states that have tried it.

I am a strong NO on Proposition 131.

3. Supreme Court to Review Child Mutilation Laws

26 states have put laws in place to prevent child mutilation through irreversible gender conversion therapies. The Biden – Harris administration is asking the Supreme Court to overturn those laws.

Here is a commentary by Matt Staver of Liberty Counsel explaining why states have the authority to ban child mutilation therapies and why “talk therapy,” which is the best medical alternative, is protected under the First Amendment. “Talk therapy” has been denigrated by some states (including Colorado) by labeling it “conversion therapy” and banning that very appropriate psychiatric practice.

Please look at this. It is essential information on a topic that is getting much deserved attention, but with little understanding of the many factors involved.

4. CBS Caught Deceptively Editing Interview of Speaker Johnson

By now it is no big surprise that major media continues to put their thumb on the scale of political debate, but here is a blatant example that Speaker Johnson has shown to the country.

5. Act Blue Caught Cooking Their Books With a Fraudulent Donation Scheme

Check this out. This article explains how Harris is able to “magically” raise hundreds of millions of dollars in a matter of days when the average citizen is really not that interested in supporting her. This is an organized crime that needs to be stopped ASAP.

1. Trump Visits and Ballots Drop Next Week

2. Great Election Advice from a Pastor

3. Reliable Electric Grid?

4. Average Joe – The Movie

5. Election Interference from the FCC

6. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday

1. Trump Visits and Ballots Drop Next Week

Donald Trump spoke on Friday here is Colorado to a packed crowd. It was a strategic move as Colorado has not been in play for this year’s presidential calculations, or is it? If nothing else it makes the Democrat strategists nervous as they might think they need to expand their outreach to all the states, stretching their resources beyond their current plans. We shall see, but it is an interesting move in a very dynamic political season.

I also found two other details interesting. The first is Trump recognized a couple of dozen people, but no one from the state party. Hmm… The other is he was much more supportive of Colorado than his first visit as a presidential candidate, back in 2016. In that 2016 speech he spent much of his time (at the Western Conservative Summit) scolding Colorado Republicans for not getting on board with his campaign.

And ballots will be mailed out next week. The election is now here. I trust you are doing all you can to vote soon and get other like-minded citizens to vote. I recommend voting for the Republican candidates. However, in Larimer County the District Attorney race has no Republican on the ballot. I recommend voting for the unaffiliated candidate, Dawn Downs.

Truth and Liberty voter guides are now available! Printed versions are being distributed, but online versions can be found here.

My State ballot recommendations can be found here.

2. Great Election Advice from a Pastor

Here is a good sermon on the book of John, but a few seconds before the 20:00 mark the pastor also gives some challenging comments on the current election for about 6:00 minutes. Please watch it if you can.

3. Reliable Electric Grid?

I have published much about my concern that our electric grid is in great peril, given the policies put in place here in Colorado by Polis and the Biden/Harris administration. However, there are some positive ideas out there that could head us in the right direction if they are implemented. Here is one report on what could be used to strengthen our grid system.

4. Average Joe – The Movie

This is a movie about Coach Joe Kennedy who dared to pray after his high school team’s games… at the 50 yard line.

I have only seen the trailer so far, but I know the story and those who argued this case before the Supreme Court. I am sure it is a powerful message that all should see. To learn where it is playing here in Colorado click here.

5. Election Interference from the FCC?

Here are two stories on how the Federal Communications Commission is playing a dangerous game that looks like serious election interference on the part of a federal government agency. You decide. Click here and here.

1. Colorado’s Political Prisoner

2. LookUp Celebration is Today and Tomorrow

3. Vice Presidential Debate

4. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday

1. Colorado’s Political Prisoner

Tina Peters, Colorado’s Political Prisoner

I was shocked when I heard the sentence Tina Peters received this week. I knew the judge had conducted her trial with significant animus and disregard for a fair and unbiased trial, but after his reckless conduct during the trial I didn’t expect him to literally throw the book at her for the sentence. After what I call a show trial and a nine year prison sentence Tina Peters has now become Colorado’s political prisoner. This is a shameful abuse of our judicial system.

It should shock any thinking citizen to realize that the judge essentially said he is throwing this Gold Star Mom into prison, rather than a probation penalty because she refuses to acquiesce to the judge’s opinion that she is an unrepentant “election denier.” His meaning to that phrase appears to be someone who refuses to say that the elections in Colorado are accurate and fair. In other words, because she doesn’t comply to his opinion that there are no significant problems with Colorado’s election system she must be severely punished for thinking and speaking her mind.

Whatever happened to the First Amendment and freedom of conscience? This judge is sending a not so subtle message to all who dare to look at the facts and make their own opinions that it will not be tolerated. Tina was convicted on technical details of trivial issues that the prosecution cooked up to try to get her on something. At a bare minimum the judge should have recognized that and made the sentence a light probation, if at all. But his harsh words to her and even harsher sentence revealed a venom he holds against this woman of courage and conviction who refuses to submit to his opinion of Colorado’s election systems.

BTW, by my definition an election denier is not someone who questions the accuracy of our election processes. An election denier is someone who refuses to look at all of the facts, to consider the possibility that bad actors will take advantage of weak links in the system to bend the results to their desires. Election deniers are not engaged in calls for full transparency of all election systems or meaningful dialogue on these issues. Election deniers far too often throw out phrases like “gold standard” and think that should settle it.

I will not relitigate Tina’s prosecution here, but I assure the reader that I have been following Tina’s situation very closely since 2021 and I am convinced she has been in the right since she first became aware of serious potential problems with Colorado’s election systems. The Secretary of State, Mesa County district attorney, Colorado attorney general and I suspect the entire electronic voting industry have been trying to silence her and make her a sacrificial lamb to prop up an election system that has served them well. This is a dark day for Colorado’s judicial system and a bad omen for what we might expect from Colorado’s election system in the next few weeks.

Tina Peters, as the clerk and recorder for Mesa County, took her responsibility seriously to preserve the voting records in her county (which in Colorado is required for at least 26 months). For all of her hard work and best of intentions this judge is sending her to prison for nine years.

Colorado voters take heed. Those who count our votes will not tolerate anyone seriously questioning their hidden, secret systems. For years they insisted that their machines were not capable of any wireless connections but were then caught red-handed when expert observations confirmed that wireless connections were very common on their machines and the software was programmed to use those connections. Now in Colorado they have made it illegal for county clerks or any outside experts to examine the hardware and software of their systems.

As a voting citizen, until they open up their systems and be fully transparent with the voting public and allow hand counts and recounts of the paper ballots, I will not be satisfied with their hollow assurances.

For Tina Peters, my prayers are with her. I pray she will be protected and encouraged during this severe trial and I pray she will be granted justice through an appeal and ultimately vindicated for her courage and honesty for standing up for what she knows to be right and true.

1. LookUp Celebration is Next Week

With ballots here in Colorado a few short weeks away, it is good to get engaged.

I will be the speaker at the Ouray Lincoln Day dinner today, September 28. I look forward to this opportunity to share some of my observations on this election season with many friends on the Western slope.

The Larimer GOP “Liberty and Lead” event has been postponed to sometime next Spring.

Don’t forget about the Celebration with Will Graham in Loveland on October 5 and 6! Make this special event a priority and invite a friend.

2. State Ballot Questions I Recommend

The Blue Book is out and it has a daunting 14 statewide ballot questions.

Here are my recommendations:

Amendment G: Modify Property Tax Exemption for Veterans with Disabilities – Yes

Amendment H: Judicial Discipline Procedures and Confidentiality – Yes

Amendment I: Constitutional Bail Exception for First Degree Murder – Yes

Amendment J: Repealing the Definition of Marriage in the Constitution – No

Amendment K: Modify Election Deadlines – No

Amendment 79: Constitutional Right to Abortion – No

Amendment 80: Constitutional Right to School Choice – neutral

This one needs some explanation. I rarely oppose any school choice options, but I am troubled by the final sentence in this constitutional question: “Each K-12 child has the right to school choice.” This constitutional wording may in some cases grant the authority for school choice to the child instead of the parents. I consider this wording to be problematic, and therefore I am taking a neutral position for my public recommendations.

Proposition JJ: Retain Additional Sports Betting Tax Revenue – No

Proposition KK: Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax – No

Proposition 127: Prohibit Bobcat, Lynx, and Mountain Lion Hunting – No

Proposition 128: Parole Eligibility for Crimes of Violence – Yes

Proposition 129: Establishing Veterinary Professional Associates – Yes

Proposition 130: Funding for Law Enforcement – Yes

Proposition 131: Establishing All-Candidate Primary and Ranked Choice Voting General Elections – No

This measure is very dangerous and disruptive. It does not give individual citizens more electoral power, it pretty much eliminates what effect political parties may have on elections and empowers the very rich who can buy their way onto the ballot. Ranked choice voting also makes hand counting and any reasonable election audits impossible.

3. Survey of Christian Voters Just Released

Click Here for the results of a nationwide survey and analysis of the attitudes and expectations of voters who attend church. The bottom line is too many christians are staying home and too many churches are not paying enough attention to what is happening in this election season.

This comprehensive poll was released this week. It is a sobering reminder that the church and too many christians in the US are partly to blame for much of the increasing secularization in our country.

4. An Energy Solution for the Looming Energy Crisis

With government policies in place to choke off the electrical grid and replace most of it with unpredictable and super expensive renewable systems we are headed to a brick wall.

However, the technology already exists to get out of this intractable problem and some countries are starting to figure it out, but US policy still has it’s head in the sand (or somewhere much worse). Read this article for more information.

5. Shocking Reminder of J6 Hostages

Our government continues to persecute political prisoners. Here is a first hand report from someone who is still being held in the US version of the Soviet Gulags.

3. Is Act Blue Cooking the Books?

4. Kentucky Governor Joins Trans Craze

5. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday

1. Events I Recommend:

With ballots here in Colorado a few short weeks away, it is good to get engaged.

A very special event in Severance is later today (Saturday, September 21).

I will be the speaker at the Ouray Lincoln Day dinner next Saturday, September 28.

But if you are not up for a five hour or so drive from the Northern Front Range there is the Larimer GOP “Liberty and Lead” event.

And don’t forget about the Celebration with Will Graham in Loveland on October 5 and 6!

Last week I led with a story on the presidential debate and called it a draw. At this point I am not so sure, as the fallout from all of the deceit Harris displayed is coming to light as well as the extreme measures ABC took to skew the event.

Initially I didn’t notice their shrewd manipulation of the set to make Harris seem bigger and more composed than Trump. They made a smaller, but identical podium to Trump’s podium and then zoomed in to give the impression that she was of the same proportions as Trump when they lined them up side by side (which was the angle for nearly all of the debate time). When they briefly showed a wide shot it was often at a weird, high angle that gave the impression that her relative size was only due to her being far away from the camera, as it looked like a shot from a fisheye lense.

This camera angle and set design reminded me of a demonstration picture I have in my ancient college psychology textbook which shows how the lines and proportions of a room can be manipulated to make people look very different sizes in a picture than they are in real life. They also mounted Trump’s mic a bit lower than it should have been, forcing him to lean down into the mic. That gave him a more threatening posture, which contributed to a more negative presentation. At the other podium Harris was able to reach the mic with a better posture, giving her a subtle edge in her presentation.

Here is an article that sheds additional light on how this “debate” was rigged against Trump.

3. Is ActBlue Cooking the Books?

ActBlue, the big fundraising system for the left has been raising hundreds of millions for their candidates, but some evidence is emerging that they are possibly laundering much of that cash rather than simply collecting it from legitimate donors. I have had it explained to me that millions have been raised through monetary gift cards, which cannot be traced to the original donor.

Republican Wisconsin Rep. Bryan Steil on Wednesday called on five states to launch probes into ActBlue. Read more here.

4. Kentucky Governor Joins Trans Craze

Apparently, not to be out done by Polis’ extreme policies, Gov. Beshear has issued an executive order banning what he calls “conversion therapy.” His order essentially does what Colorado’s ban does, prohibiting any licensed counselor from pointing out to a minor that their desire to be the opposite sex, or some other imagined “reality” might not be a very good idea. Only Beshear did it by executive order, totally bypassing the legislature.

He is wrong for two reasons. The first is his flawed concept of what is mistakenly called “conversion therapy.” The second is thinking he makes the laws. I suggest he go back to civics 101 and figure out the distinct differences between the legislative and executive branches of government.

5. Amendment 79

6. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday

1. The Debate

I call the the presidential debate this week a draw. As I see it Harris won on style points. Trump won on substance and accuracy. In a way Harris came out on top because the expectation was for her to implode and she didn’t. If you didn’t know about the “facts” she cited, she sounded somewhat reasonable. If you knew anything about any of the “facts” which were claimed by Harris and her team (the ABC moderators) you would know their ‘facts” were largely false.

Either she was totally misinformed or she is a master of deceit. I cannot imagine how anyone can spend over three years in the vice-president’s office without knowing the basic facts and details of the office. Hence she does not qualify as simply being misinformed.

Consider this spoof on a song taken from the Ed Sullivan show from many years ago…

For a more detailed comparison of the actual policies of Trump and Harris check this out.

And here is a concise (and accurate) description of some debate highlights.

I hope the Trump campaign will prepare a series of campaign ads showing what Harris had said at the debate about a wide variety of issues and compare it to what she has said in other venues. I think it will go a long way in pointing out her duplicity and her true, very very dangerous agenda.

BTW, The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 keeps coming up. The Harris team have yet to give any accurate description of or accurate example from the Book for Project 2025. If you want to check this out for yourself, here is a link to a pdf version of the entire book.

3. Is the Green New Deal (GND) a Big Deal?

Is the green new deal (GND) a big deal? Absolutely. Here is a story about the future of electric rates under the requirements of the GND.

4. Charlie Kirk at CU

Charlie Kirk was at CU in Boulder this week. He spent nearly 2 1/2 hours debating with students at an open forum. Several hundred students showed up for this candid exchange of ideas. He calls it his Prove Me Wrong tour. Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA are making a tremendous impact across the country.

5. Amendment 79

Here in Colorado the very radical pro-abortion amendment finally has its name for the ballot, Amendment 79. A real champion for life, Lloyd Benes submitted to me the following observations on Amendment 79:

Vote NO on Amendment 79 (Right to Abortion)

Mail-in Ballots arrive Oct 11 and include Amendment 79, which vastly expands abortion rights. This amendment raises the question: how far will abortion expansion go before we oppose it? If not now, when?

1. Do we wait till women start dying from unlicensed and uninspected abortion clinics?

2. Do we wait until sex traffickers can freely coerce women into abortions without prosecution?

3. Do we wait until our taxpayer funds are used to pay for abortions?

4. Parental Notification: Do we wait until our teenage daughters have serious physical and mental consequences from abortions we weren’t notified about?

5. Do we wait till hundreds more women abort healthy viable babies because they feel out of options?

Passing Amendment 79 would lead to all five of these terrible outcomes. Vote NO on Amendment 79.

Join a ZOOM call every Wednesday at 4:30 PM and help fight the amendment at … https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84619225320?pwd=z0qGxs7aYuQocAXBE2CIpcbCRFUpSz.1

2. Government issued digital currency

Central Bank digital currency (CBDC) is becoming a reality in many countries. This is not a headline in the US, yet. But when it is it will probably be too late to stand against it. Please read this story from Liberty Counsel. It is a real eye opener.

3. Indoctrination in Colorado Schools

I briefly touched on this topic last week, but it has become a breaking story that is spreading around the country like wildfire, as it should, concerning the newly implemented social studies standards here in Colorado. It comes from a bill I highlighted back in 2019, HB19-1192. This is a major shift in the Colorado curriculum in our government schools. Parents need to know that this indoctrination is being implemented all across the state.

Here is the story from the Daily Signal. This is a key part to Polis’ strategy to mainstream LGBT values into our public schools, and ultimately the next generation.

4. CU Law School

Speaking of indoctrination in Colorado public institutions, the University of Colorado’s law school received national attention for their latest indoctrination course. It is exploring what they call ‘Authoritarian Christianist Nationalism.’

5. Reagan

Have you seen the movie, Reagan? It is worth watching for many reasons. Here are some astute observations from from one of the main actors of the film.

6. Netanyahu and CCU

Colorado Christian University recently received a note of commendation from the prime minister of Israel. Here are the details from The Jerusalem Post. As a trustee for the school I wanted you to know about this distinction.

7. Prayer for Will Graham Look Up Celebration

Mark your calendar for the special program planned for the Blue Arena in Loveland on October 5 and 6. In preparation for this celebration the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is holding a prayer event next Thursday, September 12 at Foundations church in Loveland.

1. Property Tax Special Session

2. GOP Leadership Fight

3. Others Noticed: Polis Loose With Facts

4. What is Happening in Our Schools?

5. What is Happening in Our Cities?

6. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday

1. Property Tax Special Session

The legislature’s special session was held this week with two bills passing. HB24b-1003 was concerning extending and expanding the agricultural personal property exemption. HB24b-1001 was the real reason for the session, giving modest property tax relief in exchange for the proponents cancelling the two initiatives that had qualified for the 2024 ballot which would have given more significant property tax relief.

What struck me as most telling in the discussions leading up to this conclusion was that little attention was given to the actual impact property taxes have on property owners (in a time of excessive inflation and very tight budgets for most citizens). However, much hand wringing was given to how the legislature could hold all of the schools and local governments harmless. This “deal” was designed to virtually guarantee ever increasing tax revenues and give taxpayers as little relief as they could possibly contrive.

Maybe it was all the tax cutting proponents could get, but from my perspective the “deal” did not recognize that government should not have ever increasing revenues at the expense of tightly strapped citizens. Remember, this is not cutting taxes, it is barely slowing down the growth of taxes on the heels of the most extraordinary leap in property taxes the citizens of Colorado have ever seen.

2. GOP Leadership Fight

Today the controversy of who is running the Colorado GOP takes a new turn with a meeting of the State Central Committee (SCC) scheduled to convene at 9:00 AM in Castle Rock. Last week another SCC meeting was held, conducted by the competing group who proceeded to remove the state elected officials, elect their own slate, and take a vote to cancel today’s SCC meeting. Today the original elected officials (who were “removed” last Saturday) will proceed with the scheduled SCC meeting. Is that clear? Aside from the lawsuits that are now proliferating, that pretty much sums up how it is going.

I have been attempting to publicly stay out of this debate because my role as chairman of the lawsuit committee is my highest priority. In my opinion the number one long-term objective for the state party should be getting rid of Colorado’s unconstitutional open primary system.

I do not see any quick resolution to this current controversy over the leadership but the party cannot afford to abandon or fumble our lawsuit challenging the open primary in Colorado (along with actively opposing the recently approved ranked choice voting initiative on the 2024 ballot). We filed the lawsuit 13 months ago and expect the actual trial next spring. This cannot be put on hold. We must see this through for the good of the Colorado GOP and the integrity of our primary elections.

BTW, contributions for the lawsuit can be made at https://litigation.claremont.org.

3. Others Noticed: Polis Loose With Facts

Last week I reported on Polis’ DNC speech where he couldn’t get any of his facts right. Others noticed, here is another story on that gaffe.

4. What is Happening in Our Schools?

I ran across two articles about what is being taught in public schools. One is about Colorado schools, the other about the Democrat candidate for vice-president. This is, unfortunately, not new news. There are far too many examples of how far left the public school system has become.

5. What is Happening in Our Cities?

And… Aurora has been in the national news this week, and it isn’t good. At least one gang from Venezuela has apparently decided to take their crime syndicate to Colorado. After hearing comments from Mayors Johnston (Denver) and Coffman (Aurora) I am not so sure local government and law enforcement are up to the task. The Mayors (particularly Johnston) were so anxious to help out the “newcomers” (Mayor Johnston’s term, not mine) that they don’t appear to be adequately protecting the citizens in these two major Colorado cities.

1. Property Tax Special Session

2. Polis and Project 2025

3. Why Didn’t the Ds Make “Climate Change” a Bigger Part of Their Convention?

4. RFK for Trump!

5. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday

1. Property Tax Special Session

The special session of the legislature begins on Monday. It is only focused on property taxes. Some might say property tax relief, but that would be an over-simplification of the issue. Property tax relief could mean a simple solution: roll back the present tax rates and put caps on future property tax growth (as the two ballot initiatives do address). However, as I am reading the “tea leaves,” the real goal is to craft legislation that gives the appearance of tax relief without any meaningful tax reductions, thus letting the hundreds of taxing districts keep all of the funds they have so quickly become accustomed to spending.

This is also a far too convenient photo op for the majority party and their governor (who are responsible for this excessive tax burden) to look like “tax cutters” right before an election. -Such a deal!

I prefer the original tax cutting initiatives. which precipitated this session. Let the people vote on real tax relief. BTW, here and here is more information on this subject.

2. Polis and Project 2025

I have had a copy of Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 book for several months. It is a wealth of information and recommendations for the next presidential administration. It is not a part of the Trump campaign. As a matter of fact, it is the twelfth edition of this document that the Heritage Foundation has been publishing every four years since 1980. Here is a column published this week in the Wall Street Journal and written by a close friend of mine, Charles Heatherly, who edited the first and third editions of this book. BTW, the actual title is Mandate for Leadership.

I never expected the left to latch onto this book like they have, and here we have Governor Polis supposedly reading from this oversized prop of the book in a brief speech he gave at the DNC. He went into specific details, so I decided to do a little fact checking:

First he called it “Donald Trump’s roadmap to ban abortion in all 50 states.” This is not true on several levels. Donald Trump has explicitly said he and his campaign have no connection with Project 2025. After the Dobbs decision the policies concerning abortion are left up to the individual states. Trump cannot and has made no statements that he would seek a national policy banning abortions. Further, even though Project 2025 is decidedly pro-life (as am I) I find nothing in the book urging a national ban on abortions.

Polis then cites page 562 saying that “…Donald Trump could use an obscure law…to single-handedly ban abortion in all 50 states, even putting doctors in jail…” In fact page 562 cites two laws (US 18 Code, Sections 1461 and 1462) that prohibit distribution of abortion pills and other abortifacients through the US mail. There is nothing about any other methods of abortion outside of what can be delivered by the US Postal Service and no specific mention of doctors at all.

Polis: “Page 486 puts limits on contraception.” I read this page very carefully, there is no mention of contraceptives at all. Polis goes on: “Page 450 threatens access to IVF.” Here again, there is no mention of IVF on page 450. The closest it comes is the paragraph title at the top of the page:”Goal #1: Protecting Life, Conscience, and Bodily Integrity.” -How that can be interpreted to be a threat to IVF is anyone’s guess.

Polis then says that on page 455 “…the states have to report miscarriages to the Trump administration.” Here Polis gets a little closer to a semblance of accuracy because the word miscarriage is actually found on the page. However, it is only because the subject is to ensure that abortion data is more accurately reported and miscarriages are to “…never be conflated with abortion.”

Polis then wraps up his specific report on the book saying that on page “…451 the only legitimate family (here he uses air quotes, implying he is using the exact words) is a married mother and father, where only the father works.” Here is actually what the page starts with: “Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society.” Later in the page it covers the problems that are found in fatherless families, but never suggesting that only dad can or should be employed. Nowhere can any of the charges Polis levels against page 451 be found, unless what he truly despises is the concept of a married mother, father and their children.

To twist the subject on this page into the tortured statement Polis repeats is essentially to lie about what the book is saying.

I am not necessarily accusing the governor of Colorado of intentionally lying to the American Public. It is quite possible that he simply read the script on the teleprompter and didn’t bother to check the facts for himself. But I do insist that the entire four days of the DNC was designed to be pure propaganda, without any respect for the truth.

If there is a theme for the Harris campaign that is it. Play to the polls and try to fool the people all the time(more on that in the next article).

3. Why Didn’t the Ds Make “Climate Change” a Bigger Part of Their Convention?

If they think this is an “existential threat” to the planet, shouldn’t it be a big part of their political plan?

It turns out that polling is way more important to the Harris campaign than any old “existential threat” to the planet. Read more here.

4. RFK for Trump!

Friday was a good day for the Trump campaign. We finally got past the DNC and Robert F. Kennedy jr. endorsed Trump. Just like some other well known and former Democrats have said: “I didn’t leave the party, the party left me.”

Only time will tell if this helps to fortify the Trump campaign, but RFK jr. has come to the reality that he cannot win the presidency and to stay fully engaged in the race would tacitly support Harris by dividing the vote, which only feeds the government beast that RFK jr has been fighting against.

Here is his introduction at the Trump rally in Arizona.

1. Tina Peters is a Warrior for Truth

2. Special Session for Property Tax Relief

3. Speaker Johnson Visits Loveland

4. John Strand in Berthoud

5. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday

1. Tina Peters is a warrior for truth, and this week the Mesa County court convicted her of seven out of the ten charges they cooked up to throw at her. Yet still she is standing for the truth, regardless of the consequences.

It was a kangaroo court, bent on getting a conviction to justify their coverup of election fraud. As an example of how they stretched the law to get a conviction, most of the charges had to do with “attempting to influence a public servant.” These were where Tina was, as the Mesa County clerk, asking her staff and other government employees to help preserve the election records by making a copy of the election records on the county election computer before the software was “updated,” which also destroyed thousands of records. The law required her to keep all election records for 26 months after any election.

However, rather than give a lengthy description of what happened at the trial, here is a program from her own show on Frank Speech. Due to the trial there is a guest host, but Tina comes on at about the 33 minute mark to describe what happened in her own words. Please watch that second half of the program from 33 minutes. It is important that we know the facts from a first hand perspective.

2. Special Session for Property Tax Relief

The governor just called a special session for more property tax relief in exchange for the proponents dropping property tax initiatives scheduled to go on the ballot. Color me skeptical, as this is the same governor who promoted HH last year and also couldn’t get it right in the regular session this year. And how convenient, to declare a special session ostensibly cutting taxes right before a general election. It looks like great press for his team at the best possible moment.

I hope the proponents of the current initiatives do not give up their initiatives too soon. Colorado deserves real property tax relief, not another round of legislative juggling with complex laws to obfuscate their desire to keep taxes as high as possible.

And here is some historical perspective. I was in California in 1980 when their famous Prop 13 went into effect, slashing property taxes to the bone. There was a great outcry from all of the affected government agencies, but the net effect was more freedom for the citizens and local governments learned how to do more with less. California did not implode, California prospered!

I rarely come across a tax cut I don’t like. I repeat, I hope the proponents hold on to their initiatives unless they get much more than a small piece of the pie. If the legislature is true to the form they have been following for the last few years, they will be giving as little as they can to the citizens and growing government as fast as they possibly can.

Click here for more details on the special session.

3. Speaker Johnson Visits Loveland

On Friday the Speaker of the US House of Representatives came to promote Gabe Evans’ campaign for the 8th CD. Speaker Johnson said this race is a top priority for the House and praised Gabe’s abilities and very real possibility of winning this critical race.

I have been following Mike Johnson for a couple of years and was thrilled to be there to see him up close. His values, style and determination are what we need to work with (President) Trump and a Republican majority in the House AND Senate.

4. John Strand in Berthoud

This week I also had the privilege of having a private discussion with John Strand, who was recently released from Federal prison. His charge was nullified by the Supreme Court decision that declared the Department of Justice was abusing the law when they prosecuted John and many other J6 “hostages.” That is the term John uses for the 1500 citizens who have been charged and convicted of greatly exaggerated charges, largely because they saw fraud in the election systems in 2020 and were not silent.

John was in the Berthoud area briefly, visiting family and they graciously allowed me to join their celebration of John’s release. John wrote a book while in prison (not yet published) and is devoting his time to be a voice for the many hundreds of patriots who are still being held hostage by our government in jails and prisons. I usually refer to them as political prisoners. For more information go to JohnStrand.com.

2. ‘Anti-Parent’ VP Pick Tim Walz

3. CISA Assures US: Nothing to See Here… Move Along

4. Trump’s Faith

5. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday

1. Not Enough Signatures, But We Will Be Back!

Thank you to all who worked so hard to activate citizens and start the 100,000+ conversations we had to protect kids in Colorado!

ProtectKidsColorado.org fell short for the 2024 ballot, but we are ready to start the next round, leveraging all the engaged citizens who now understand better what’s at stake. The effort to put two initiatives on the this year’s ballot has birthed a movement to mobilize Colorado citizens to protect children and families. This election cycle is just round one. Please join our team at ProtectKidsColorado.org.

2. ‘Anti-Parent’ VP Pick Tim Walz

Who is Tim Walz? As all of America digs into this question, here the Daily Signal sheds some light on his attitude and actions concerning parents and kids. This article quotes many parents, including Erin Lee, the mom in our documentary, Art Club.

3. CISA Assures US: Nothing to See Here… Move Along

CISA, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is assuring us that even though we should expect elections systems to be attacked during the 2024 election, it will have no impact on the security or integrity of the elections. Hmmm… that seems a bit presumptuous and somewhat suspicious. It sounds to me like hollow assurances of “nothing to see here, move along.”

CISA, which is a part of Homeland Security and was supposed to be created to be a watchdog over bad actors on the internet has actually been a purveyor of misinformation themselves, by my observations. Years ago I ran across some graphic cartoons they produced that tried to label anything that was not government approved opinions as “misinformation.” This recent announcement looks like more of the same.

As we move closer to the actual election keep your eyes wide open and don’t be fooled by anyone who insists there is nothing to be seen. Until our elections are truly transparent and straightforward (like paper ballots counted in local precincts on election day) we should ask all relevant questions and demand claims made by election officials are fully explained.

4. Trump’s Faith

Here is an interesting video on Facebook of Trump describing his faith in Jesus Christ and God’s hand in our world.

2. PKC Petitions Are…

3. Transform Colorado Meetings in Northern Colorado

4. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday

1. What Has Happened to the Olympics?

It used to be the Summer Olympics were a break from the politics of a presidential election year, where we could set aside our political arguments and root for the USA home teams. No more, now it has become a woke indoctrination festival. Starting with an outrageous opening ceremony where a pagan parody of DaVinci’s painting of the Last Supper mocked Christianity. Now we learn that the athletes are prohibited from any “religious demonstrations,” and despite assurances that men will not be allowed in women’s competitions, somehow men are still allowed to beat up women boxers because of their toothless ban of men in women’s sports.

Here is a good analysis that CCU Chancellor, Dr. Don Sweeting gave to NewsMax2 TV.

2. PKC Petitions Are…

…now in and being counted by our team. Thank you to all who have pitched into this worthy cause. We expect to know soon if we have enough signatures to submit to the Secretary of State for the 2024 ballot, but whether or not we make the ballot this year, Protect Kids Colorado has made many citizens here in Colorado more aware of how the transgender ideology has swept through our public schools. We have also identified an army of people who are committed to this worthy cause.

About 60 supporters came out for our final petition notary event and PKC party!

Here is a good article on our effort published yesterday by KUNC.

July 31 is the deadline for getting all of the petitions back to Protect Kids Colorado (PKC). We will not know if the sufficient number of signatures has been met until we have a chance to process them, but we are certain that PKC has already made tens of thousands Colorado citizens more acutely aware of what is happening in our public schools and as determined as ever to protect our kids from the dangers of the transgender ideology.

2. John Strand Released from Federal Prison!

Over the last year I have often reported on John Strand who was falsely imprisoned for being at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Due to a recent Supreme Court decision he has now been released. Here is his brief statement on X.

3. Supreme Court Orders New York to Answer Missouri’s Election Suit

Little news has been assigned to this development, but it is worth giving this some of our attention. The state of Missouri is suing the state of New York for election interference due to the excessive lawfare New York has conducted against Donald Trump.

Many expected the Supreme Court to dismiss the case, as most courts have refused to deal with any election integrity issues. However, as the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction with suits between states, they have not dismissed the initial filing, but have ordered New York to answer the initial complaint.

It is uncertain what the court will do with arguments, but it is to their credit that they are proceeding with the process. Stay tuned…

4. Wil Graham in Northern Colorado next October

I am excited to announce that Northern Colorado is the only American location chosen this year by the Billy Graham Evangelical Association (BGEA) for a Look Up Celebration with Will Graham, Billy’s grandson. The main event will take place Oct. 5-6, 2024, 6:00 pm, at The Ranch in Loveland and will include live music and speakers. There will also be a KidzFest on Saturday morning at 10 am at The Ranch. The intent is to bring a friend who needs to hear the gospel.

A number of events will lead up to the main event, including free Christian Life and Witness classes at various locations in August and September, a Pastors Conference on August 22 in Longmont, a teen-focused event called Pursuit, and a night of worship and prayer on September 12. Keep an eye on their website for further details and sign-ups.

5. Transform Colorado Meetings in August

Transform Colorado is helping educate citizens in Colorado with information about upcoming elections. They have published voter guides for many districts in the state. They also have scheduled several special meetings to be held in August with renowned author and historian Bill Federer.

1. A Bullet Changed Trump’s Trajectory

2. Protect Kids Colorado Has Less Than Two Weeks

3. One Nation Under God

4. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday

1. A Bullet Changed Trump’s Trajectory

With a near miss from an assassin’s bullet President Trump then stood back up with courage, an attitude of gratefulness and a renewed determination to lead our nation to better days of peace and prosperity.

That poignant moment last Saturday changed the political landscape forever. While Biden’s presidency and candidacy continued to implode Donald Trump changed his rhetoric in an effort to embrace all Americans. He even chided the RNC crowd when they booed at the mention of Nancy Pelosi, telling them to not react with the boos. In his speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC) he said that he cannot effectively govern for just half of the country, we must once again see ourselves as Americans first: “one nation under God.”

There is still much time for further developments before the election, but the stage seems to be set for a significant realignment of power and policies in our national government. At the national level the Republican party is more unified and energized than it has been for many years and after the malaise of the past few years I believe the people of this country are ready to roll up their sleeves and get back to the work of building up our great nation.

Rep. Bill Taylor, a friend of mine and member of the South Carolina legislature gave his reactions in this short video, which I recommend watching.

2. Protect Kids Colorado Has Less Than Two Weeks

The race down the final stretch is here. Less than two weeks left to collect the needed signatures to secure a spot on the ballot for these important ballot questions. Here is my letter to church leaders:

Dear Church Leader,

I have been in the fight to protect our families and children for many years. Recently I made a documentary, Art Club (ArtClubMovie.com), about the transgender ideology that is working its way into our public schools here in Colorado. Just this year the legislature passed and the governor signed a bill into law that requires all public schools, including charter schools to use any non-legal name that a student adopts. This is a not so subtle way of forcing all public schools to engage in pushing the transgender ideology onto our kids.

In my 16 years in the Colorado legislature I saw this coming, but now it has arrived: the schools are actively promoting transgenderism and most often hiding it from parents (see ArtClubMovie.com). This is why I helped start Protect Kids Colorado and now we have two initiatives to give the people of Colorado the opportunity to stand up and stop this dangerous trend.

Will you stand with us?

Protect Kids Colorado is a broad coalition of grassroots citizens working to put these initiatives on the November 2024 election ballot. Below is a brief description of the initiatives, with the full language in the attached documents:

#1. ANY PUBLIC SCHOOL REPRESENTATIVE WHO OBTAINS INFORMATION THAT A CHILD ENROLLED IN THEIR PUBLIC SCHOOL IS EXPERIENCING GENDER INCONGRUENCE SHALL NOTIFY THE CHILD’S PARENTS.

#2. ONLY FEMALE STUDENTS, BASED ON THEIR BIOLOGICAL SEX AT BIRTH, MAY PARTICIPATE ON ANY TEAM OR IN A SPORT OR ATHLETIC EVENT DESIGNATED AS BEING FOR FEMALES, WOMEN, OR GIRLS.

We must collect 125,000 valid signatures before July 31 and are asking for your help to meet this goal.

Can these petitions be circulated at your church?
Will you make an announcement from the pulpit and encourage all registered Colorado voters to sign the petitions?

Now is the time, we must protect our kids, and we need all hands on deck.

Is there someone in your church who can be the circulator for the petitions or do you need us to help collect signatures at your church? Please respond to me as soon as you can, we only have a few weeks left to get this done!

3. One Nation Under God

A remarkable theme in all of the speeches and presentations at the RNC was a clear reliance on God’s guidance and protection. There has always been some lip service given at RNC conventions to the reality of God’s control in our nation, but this year the theme was more evident and more sincere. It will be telling to see how that theme may compare to the attitude on display at the Democrat convention.

It is also telling to compare the way different world leaders responded to the President Trump shooting. The more left leaning the world leader, the less likely they are to mention prayers or acknowledge God in their missives. See for yourself by clicking here.

1. The Big Stories of the Week

2. Protect Kids Colorado Has Less Than Three Weeks

3. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday

1. The Big Stories of the Week

So much to cover this week! Biden’s campaign is imploding and the Democrats are scrambling to salvage their political prospects. Everyone is discussing it and nobody knows where this will end up. Stay tuned, it might get very interesting and I am sure there will be some unexpected turns.

Here in Colorado the GOP state leadership is in the middle of a crisis of their own and it is hard to say where that is headed as well. However, for individual Colorado GOP candidates my counsel is make your own plan and work your own plan. As a candidate from many elections it was rare when I could point to any significant support from the state party. State legislative races are very local politics. Don’t worry about state, or national issues. Meet the people in your district. Run a good, clean campaign and you will win or lose because of how you connect with and relate to your district.

The big story I am concentrating on this week happened in Milwaukee at the national GOP platform committee meeting. This is always the big event lasting several days leading up to the GOP national convention, to be held next week. It is where the GOP platform is ironed out by the delegates from all 50 states as the policy standards for the GOP for the next four years.

However, this year it was just a rubber stamp meeting, lasting less than the first morning. No amendments were allowed to be considered and discussion was kept to an absolute minimum. The document that came out of this meeting was not produced by the Republican delegates, it was created behind closed doors as a tool for the presidential campaign.

The document is very brief and specific protections for the unborn and the Second Amendment were stripped out.

I find this quite concerning and earnestly hope and pray this is just the product of overly zealous staffers and consultants. Since the actual platform committee members were locked out of the process of developing the document it should be treated as such, only a tool for the current campaign and nothing more.

For the perspective from some key members of the platform committee click here and here. If you agree with my analysis here is a letter the the Family Research Council prepared that you can sign onto.

2. Protect Kids Colorado Has Less Than Three Weeks

With little more than two weeks left to collect the signatures for the Protect Kids Colorado initiatives it is all hands on deck. There is still time to lend a hand, but just barely. Go to ProtectKidsColorado.org for more information. Please help us finish strong!

As a footnote to the initiatives, here is an interesting story about taking the women’s sports issue to the Supreme Court.

1. Time for Prayer and Fasting?

2. Protecting Kids in 25 States

3. Hand Counting Ballots in Wyoming?

4. Winter and EVs

5. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday

1. Time for Prayer and Fasting?

Tennessee’s legislature and governor have called the people of Tennessee to a month of prayer and fasting. Read more about it here. The lawmakers are calling for citizens to “humbly ask for forgiveness” and that “the Lord Jesus heal our land and remove the violence, human trafficking, addiction, and corruption.”

In past generations such proclamations were common, but today it is rare. And, not coincidentally, it is more needed today that just about any other time in American history. It is time that we individually and corporately acknowledge the Supreme Ruler of the Universe (as God is referred to in the preamble to the Colorado constitution).

2. Protecting Kids in 25 States

Here is an interesting graphic of the states that have banned the trans child mutilation practices that have proliferated across our land.

Colorado’s governor and legislature are, of course, on the other side of this issue. They still allow the chemicals and surgeries that experiment with and ultimately mutilate children through the transgender craze. Protect Kids Colorado has been leading the charge in our state against the trans ideology with our initiatives which address some other trans issues (but we could not get the medicalization of minors subject through the Title Board).

I share this graphic to say that much is happening to counter the trans ideology and we here in Colorado should not give up. Across the nation we see progress, but it will take more work to get it done here. The graphic comes from an article on the NPR website. You can find their (biased) article here.

3. Hand Counting Ballots in Wyoming?

Here is more good news. There is serious talk in Wyoming of eliminating all election machine errors by eliminating the machines. Read all about it here.

4. Winter and EVs

It may be July, but winter is just around the corner and some government policies are aimed at eliminating our ability to thrive in sub-zero conditions. Consider this.

1. Major SCOTUS Decisions

2. Presidential Debate

3. Primary Results

4. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday

1. Major SCOTUS Decisions

This was a big week for decisions from the Supreme Court. Here are three articles, from various political perspectives on three of the big cases handed down this week.

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/jun/28/supreme-court-sides-jan-6-defendant-against-obstru/

https://www.npr.org/2024/06/10/nx-s1-4998861/supreme-court-chevron-doctrine

Supreme Court rules states cannot remove Trump from ballot for insurrection

2. Presidential Debate

Many reports on the debate between Biden and Trump ignore the obvious. Biden made the worst performance of his political career. Many of the articles I reviewed tried to only discuss the words that were exchanged between the two men. However, Biden’s inability to even speak clearly and give logical arguments, let alone complete sentences, demonstrated to the world that his ability to govern has diminished to a hollow shell of whatever abilities he once possessed. It was painfully obvious that he is not up to running for office, or to even continue to serve in office.

Here is one report that did cover that most obvious fact of the night.

3. Primary Results

Last Tuesday was primary election day for Colorado and one special election to select a candidate to fill out Rep. Buck’s CD4 seat in Congress. Congratulations to Greg Lopez for winning the CD4 special election. The four Republican primary elections with strong competition resulted with Jeff Hurd winning in CD3, Lauren Boebert winning CD4, Jeff Crank in CD5 and Gabe Evans in CD8. Here in Larimer County Ben Aste won the Republican primary for the 3rd district County Commissioner race.

1. Have You Signed the PKC Petitions?

2. Victor Davis Hanson on California

3. The Primary Wraps up in Four Days

4. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday

1. Have You Signed the PKC Petitions?

With just a little more than a month to go, the Protect Kids Colorado petition project is in gear all across Colorado. Have you signed them? Are you a circulator for them? We are finding that churches and large events are quite productive for collecting the signatures. If your church is not actively engaged in this effort to protect kids and parents rights in public schools, please talk to your church leadership. There is still time, but just barely. For more information go to the website: ProtectKidsColorado.org.

2. Victor Davis Hanson on California

Victor Davis Hanson is always right on target with his observations and this article deserves careful attention for anyone in Colorado. Yes, this is about California, but as California goes, thanks to Polis and company, so goes Colorado. Reading this article on a mobile device seems to work better than a computer (the ads get in the way of the text), but it is still worth the read as Mr Hanson explains how California has been ruined by the socialists who have destroyed a state that was once the envy of the nation. Click here to read all about it.

3. The Primary Wraps up in Four Days

If you haven’t already, don’t forget to vote!

Several people have asked for my recommendations for the primary ballot. My recommendation is yes, please vote. However, I have not endorsed anyone who is in a competitive race. I am a member of the Larimer GOP executive board and our bylaws prohibit board members from endorsing in competitive Republican primary races. In my opinion this is a good policy, which I am following. So, again, my recommendation is do your homework and vote accordingly.

1. My Email Service is Going Out of Business!

I have been able to salvage the email addresses, but it may be a rocky path to get everything converted over to a new and more reliable email service. My new email provider might require you to affirm a request to send you future email reminders. PLEASE BE PATIENT AND IF SUCH A REQUEST COMES YOUR WAY PLEASE RESPOND TO THEIR SUBSCRIPTION REQUEST AS SOON AS YOU CAN.

I want to continue to make this communication as accurate and as available as possible. Help me tell others about the Lundberg Report and don’t forget, it is always published on my website, whether or not you get the email reminder.

2. Rep. Hageman’s Great Idea for Boulder

Here is a brilliant idea to flush out the hypocrisy found in the city of Boulder. Wyoming Congresswoman Harriet Hageman, in a speech to the Wyoming Mining Association gave a mocking response to the green-agenda, global-warming extremists.

She said: “How about we start with a pilot project like Boulder, Colorado? Let’s take out all their gas stations, let’s take out all their gas stoves, all their water heaters, all the pavement and return them to dirt roads, right?”

Read all about her speech here.

3. PKC Initiatives in Full Swing

ProtectKidsColorado.org is collecting signatures for our two initiatives all over the state. If you have petitions, please get them filled up and returned as soon as possible. We only have a little more than a month left to get this done.

Here is a picture of Erin Lee running a petition table at the CHEC annual conference.

GOP Open Primary Lawsuit Needs Your Help

https://youtube.com/watch?v=fqDa5Drn_-0%3Ffeature%3Doembed

This is a short video I prepared about the GOP challenge to Colorado’s open primary. Please watch this three minute report and help us pass this around. Particularly we need to get this out to the caucuses this coming week (next Thursday) and the county assemblies that will be held later this month. Also, please share the link on social media and any other way you have to connect with friends and neighbors.

The link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqDa5Drn_-0

Open primary lawsuit fund update. On April 6, at the Colorado GOP state assembly, over $26,000 was raised for the lawsuit. More is needed, but this is a tremendous show of support for the effort. To help in this effort go to litigation.Claremont.org.

1. D-Day + 80 Years

Eighty years ago last thursday was D-Day, the beginning of the end of World War II.

There are thousands of stories that came out of that fateful day and the one I have been focused on was commemorated with proclamations and state flags from several states, which were honored last Thursday in a little French village called Ravenoville. This picture is what I prepared, with the assistance of Rep. Holtorf’s office, for that ceremony. Details can be found in my May 25 report.

This was where US paratroopers jumped out of their transport planes right after midnight, the beginning of D-Day. Imagine the courage it took to jump into that black night, knowing you were behind the German lines, a small group of soldiers whose job was to confuse the enemy and disrupt their supply lines to the front.

That group of US soldiers ended up taking their stand in a small French village and they held their ground until the invasion force had worked its way through the barrages on the beaches and other German fortifications.

D-Day should never be forgotten.

Final note: Here is a link to a related story on the paratroopers in D-Day.

2. Volunteers needed to Check Ballots in Douglas County

Heidi Ganahl asked me to pass this on to you. Please consider participating.

Hi everyone! After the Governor’s race, we noticed some oddities in the numbers from Douglas County (my home county). We need your help from home, whenever you have time, to review ballot images from the 2022 election/Douglas County.

It’s online and ready to dig in.

We have thousands of ballot images from Douglas County that have taken us 18 months and thousands of dollars to obtain from the Clerk’s office, but we need your help to review them. The process is simple…

First, you need a computer or tablet. We can’t make the images small enough to be readable on a phone, so a bigger screen is necessary.

Second, go to https://douglas.PolarisRecount.com and watch the short training video, then click the “Apply” button to create your account. Then check your email for your confirmation and go back to https://douglas.polarisrecount.com/home.asp to get started!

Each ballot is looked at by at least 2 different people. You will never see the same ballot twice, but someone else will look at that same ballot and if your selections agree, it is saved. If not, someone else takes a look. If the 3 of you can’t agree, it is sent to administration.

Thanks so much! Heidi 720-591-7264

2. Has Biden’s Border Policy Changed?

The President announced a change in his border policies, supposedly getting tough (finally) with the flood of people coming through our southern border, but was it any more than political window dressing in an election year? Here is a good article that digs deeper into this situation.

3. Open letter to Joe Biden

And speaking of Joe Biden, Jim Dobson has issued an open letter to the President, inviting others to add their names as well. Here are the details.

4. Governor’s Record on Bills for 2024 Session

Yesterday was the deadline for the governor to sign, veto or allow bills to become law without his signature. Listed below are the bills I highlighted, both good and bad. With few exceptions the good bills died and a large percentage of the bad bills became law, all with the governor’s signature. Only one bill in my list was vetoed (HB-1080).

It is breathtaking to consider how many of our freedoms have been compromised by these new laws. Take some time to view this list and never believe anyone who says that Polis is a moderate Democrat. He is the most extreme, hard-left politician to run (or should I say ruin) Colorado.

It’s an election year, we need to do all we can to change the leaders in Colorado.

Good Bills

HCR24-1005 Parents’ Bill of Rights This is a resolution to refer to the people this constitutional addition. I helped write this bill, which was heard in House State Affairs last Monday. There was great testimony presented for several hours, but it was still killed, PLV.

HB24-1022 Publish Bill Drafts Online before Session This will help the citizens to get a better view of upcoming bills. Died on Calendar

HB24-1023 Civil Forfeiture Reform This is a system that needs much reform. Killed in first committee.

HB24-1026 Local Government Tax Payers’ Bill of Rights Prior Voter Approval Requirement Getting back to what TABOR is intended to require. Killed in first committee, PLV.

HB24-1029 Prohibit Foreign Ownership Agriculture & Natural Resources The title says it all. Killed in first committee, PLV.

HB24-1041 Streamline Filing Sales & Use Tax Returns Doesn’t do much, but every little bit helps. Signed into law.

HB24-1065 Reduction of State Income Tax Rate Lowers rate from 4.4% to 4.0%. Killed in first committee.

HB24-1106 Require Information about Abortion Pill Reversal Would require this information to be available with chemical abortion products. Killed in first committee, PLV.

HB24-1128 Enforcement of Federal Immigration Law This bill would return Colorado law to a more sane approach to immigration law. Killed in first committee, PLV.

HB24-1142 Reduce Income Tax Social Security Benefits Reducing taxes is a good idea. Signed by governor

HB24-1145 Modify Voter Registration Page on Secretary of State Website Gives the voter the option to vote in person rather than receive a mail ballot. Killed in first committee, PLV.

HB24-1166 Expand Homestead Exemptions Some additional property tax relief. Killed in first committee, PLV.

HB24-1224 Personhood of Living Unborn Human Child Good bill, little chance of surviving. Killed in first committee, PLV.

HB24-1279 Vote Tracking Number Elections Creates some election security. Killed in first committee, PLV.

SB24-092 Cost Effective Energy Codes Finally, common sense legislation that recognizes that laws may cost the individual citizen more than the law is worth. Killed in first committee, PLV.

SB24-098 Safety Clause Use Review This is a great idea! It requires all safety clauses on bills to be reviewed for their appropriateness. Killed in first committee, PLV.

SB24-144 Real Property Valuation Limits property assessment to no more than 6% per year. Killed in first committee, PLV.

Good Bill, Maybe

SB24-228 TABOR Refund Mechanisms Here is an interesting last minute bill that might be good, but don’t think it is a tax reduction, it looks more like a shell game to me. The title says the real story, it is not lowering taxes, just switching up the way taxes are collected. TABOR requires refunds for money collected beyond the TABOR limits (which have been unconstitutionally increased through the decades of TABOR). This bill shifts the refund mechanism through lower taxes, but it looks to me like the lower tax rates are only temporary, so long as the TABOR refunds are required.

Bottom line is this. Polis will claim it is a tax reduction, but that is not so. It is only an alternative TABOR refund mechanism. Signed by governor

Bad bills

HB24-1014 Deceptive Trade Practice Significant Impact Standard As I read this bill it is an open door for lawsuits. It eliminates the requirement that a deceptive trade lawsuit “significantly impacts the public.” Killed in Senate

HB24-1017 Bill of Rights for Foster Youth This bill will cut out foster families who are not supporting the transgender ideology. Signed by governor.

HB24-1028 Overdose Prevention Centers Drug injection sites are back. Killed in Senate Committee.

HB24-1039 Non-Legal Name Changes This one forces all public schools to play the pronoun game with their students and it sets up a task force to come up with a policy that will ultimately hide such transitioning from “non-supportive” parents. Signed by governor.

HB24-1040 Gender-Affirming Health-Care Provider Study This is a “study” designed to encourage and increase the number of medical facilities that transition kids with life changing drugs and mutilation surgeries. Killed in first committee.

HB24-1057 Prohibit Algorithmic Devices Used for Rent Setting This is one more slap at landlords. It won’t change much, but it is a typical nanny government bill. Killed by both Houses adhering to their versions

HB24-1061 Marijuana Industry & Social Equity “Social equity” is a very dangerous, and, ironically, inequitable concept. It is also a concept Polis is integrating into our state government systems and this is one more step in that direction. Killed in committee.

HB24-1071 Name Change to Conform with Gender Identity The bill states that when incarcerated a person can change their legal name to conform with their new “gender identity.” signed by governor.

HB24-1075 Analysis of Universal Health-Care Payment System Here we go again, this could become the worst bill of the year. This system would have cost several times the general fund budget ($50 billion+) and it would inevitably put in place more rationing of medical care, while diminishing the quality of available care. If you doubt this, just look at the Canadian medical system. It made it through the House but died on the calendar in the Senate.

HB24-1080 Youth Sports Personnel Requirements More mandatory reporters on the way… Vetoed

HB24-1083 Construction Professional Insurance Coverage Transparency Makes contractor AND subcontractors disclose workers comp insurance. This is nanny government creating much more red tape and therefore higher costs for everyone. Died on calendar.

HB24-1124 Discrimination in Places of Public Accomodation This makes nonprofit organizations subject to Colorado’s discrimination laws. It looks like a way to force nonprofit organizations to capitulate to the LBGT ideology. Signed by governor

HB24-1150 False Slates of Electors Several provisions in this bill, but it looks like it is trying to fortify the enforcement of the National Popular Vote, if that ever becomes a reality. Signed by governor.

HB24-1163 Pet Animal Registration System Will require all pets to be registered with the state and an additional fee will be levied as well. Killed in first committee.

HB24-1169 Repeal Divest from Companies with Israel Prohibitions Law Another slap at Israel. Killed in first committee.

HB24-1170 Rights for Youth Division of Youth Services Facilities More transgender ideology in state statute. Signed by governor

HB24-1174 Concealed Carry Permits & Training Turns over concealed carry instruction to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. This will make concealed carry permits more difficult to obtain and renew. Signed by governor

HB24-1175 Local Governments Rights to Property for Affordable Housing This is called socialism, where the government is given extra power to own and control more property. Signed by governor

HB24-1229 Presumptive Eligibility for Long-Term Care Will allow all illegal aliens long-term care. Signed by governor

HB24-1245 Fair Labor Practice Requirements for Broadband Projects Favor unions for government projects. Died on calendar.

HB24-1270 Firearm Liability Insurance Requirement Requires specific liability insurance for all gun owners. Died on calendar.

HB24-1280 Welcome, Reception, & Integration Grant Program More sanctuary state laws. Signed by governor

HB24-1292 Prohibit Certain Weapons Used in Mass Shootings Among many other prohibitions, bans the sale or transfer of most, if not all types of AR rifles. Killed in Senate committee.

HB24-1296 Modifications to the Colorado Open Records Act Pretty much guts Colorado’s open records act. This is a big step backward in government transparency. Killed Senate committee.

HB24-1310 School Safety Measures Another gun control bill. This one repeals the current law allowing schools to authorize conceal carry by school employees and sets up a new one with more stringent rules. Killed in first committee.

HB24-1330 Air Quality Permitting More regulations and restrictions on the oil an gas industry. Died on calendar.

HB24-1338 Cumulative Impacts & Environmental Justice The title of this bill is “Concerning measures to advance environmental justice by reducing cumulative impacts of air pollution.” This will become a dangerous weapon that government will have to bludgeon any business they deem as violating whatever environmental justice means, at that time… Signed by governor

HB24-1339 Disproportionately Impact Community Air Pollution More “Green New Deal” policies are on their way. Died on calendar.

HB24-1341 State Vehicle Idling Standard How dare you think that it is a good idea to warm up your car on a bitterly cold morning? Signed by governor.

HB24-1346 Energy & Carbon Management Regulation More control on our daily lives to chase their fictitious fear of carbon dioxide Signed by governor

HB24-1348 Secure Firearm Storage in a Vehicle requires that guns in unattended vehicles be locked up in a trunk or hard case, effectively disarming citizens in their cars. Signed by governor

HB24-1349 Firearms & Ammunition Excise Tax creates a new tax on guns and ammunition. At least (thanks to TABOR) it will require a vote of the people to go into effect. Signed by governor

HB24-1353 Firearms Dealer Requirements & Permit Creates a required state firearms permit for all firearms dealers. As of this writing the governor’s action is not listed on the legislative website.

HB24-1363 Charter Schools Accountability This is a complicated bill that looks like it was written to make it more difficult to run a charter school and give local school districts the ability to shut down charter schools. Killed in Committee.

HB24-1366 Sustainable Local Government Community Planning Incorporates global warming nonsense into all local government planning. Died on calendar.

HB24-1367 Repeal Severance Tax Exemption for Stripper Wells More attacks on Oil and Gas industry. Died on calendar.

HB24-1375 Wild Carnivores & Livestock Nonlethal Coexistence This may require a new bill category: stupid bills. Among other things it creates “native-carnivore coexistence officers” within the department of wildlife. Killed in first committee.

HB24-1459 Birth Equity Concerning protections for birthing persons. Say what? I guess the legislature cannot say woman anymore. Or maybe they do not know what is woman is? Signed by governor

SB24-014 Seal of Climate Literacy Diploma Endorsement I past over this one at first, but after a second look I realize this is a big corruption of our schools. It is giving special honors to any student who buys into the climate alarmism, and gives them this special distinction if they become actively involved in this destructive hoax. Signed by governor

SB24-053 Racial Equity Study This is the first step toward the reparations madness. Signed by governor

SB24-059 Children’s Behavioral Health Statewide System of Care This looks like a huge bureaucracy to monitor and manage all minors in Colorado, just waiting to be created… Killed in House committee.

SB24-065 Mobile Electronic Devices & Motor Vehicle Driving Banning hands on mobile phone use for all drivers in Colorado. Signed by governor

SB24-084 Attorney General Duties to Prevent Mis- & Dis-information It is quite appropriate that this is numbered 84, as in the book by George Orwell: 1984. Whatever happened to the First Amendment? Signed by governor

SB24-094 Safe Housing for Residential Tenants Here is another bill to make people feel good, but in reality it drives up the cost of renting and depresses the number of houses that are available to rent (because it makes being a landlord that much more difficult). Signed by governor

SB24-123 Waste Tire Management Enterprise One more “enterprise” to work around TABOR. Signed by governor

SB24-131 Prohibiting Carrying Firearms in Sensitive Spaces Prohibits carrying firearms in virtually any public space. This is a clear violation of Article II, section 3 of the Colorado constitution: “The right of no person to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person, and property, or aid of the civil power when thereto legally summoned, shall be called in question; but nothing herein contained shall be construed to justify the practice of carrying concealed weapons.” This is because it will be impossible to defend one’s “person” (not to mention one’s family) if any one cannot bear arms in public. Signed by governor

SB24-159 Mod to Energy & Carbon Management Processes Designed to shut down the oil and gas industry in Colorado by prohibiting any new drilling permits after December 31, 2029. This is economic and scientific insanity! This bill would end the largest, most productive industry in Colorado. It would also drive up the costs of what energy might be left for the people of Colorado to incredible levels. Killed in committee

SB24-165 Air Quality Improvements It is aimed at shutting down or restricting Oil and gas operations in the North Front Range and restrict some transportation from May through September in 2025 and for all following years. Killed in Senate.

SB24-166 Air Quality Enforcement Significantly increases penalties for violations of the ultra strict emission standards in Colorado law. Killed in Senate.

SB24-182 Immigrant Identification Document Issuance It repeals the law that required someone to live in Colorado for at least two years to receive an identification document under the “Colorado Road and Community Safety Act” if that individual is not lawfully present in the United States. Signed by governor

SB24-189 Gender-Related Bias-Motivated Crimes More trans, woke terminology and policies… This adds transgender to the potential hate crimes list. Signed by governor

SB24-195 Protect Vulnerable Road Users The title alone smells fishy. This bill actually authorizes CDOT and the state patrol to use automated vehicle identification systems on all roads in Colorado. These are the systems that automatically catch any violation of road rules and allow the driver to be automatically fined for the infraction. This potentially sounds like Big Brother on steroids. Signed by governor

SB24-200 Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion in Child Welfare Incorporates “equity, diversity, & inclusion” principles into child welfare policies. Need I say more? Signed by governor

SB24-214 Implement State Climate Goals The title says enough. Signed by governor.

SB24-229 Ozone Mitigation Measures More heavy hand control of oil and gas. This adds licensing requirements for oil and gas, more monitoring and stiffer penalties to the industry. Signed by governor

SB24-230 Oil & Gas Production Fees These “fees” are a punitive tax on oil and gas production to fund transit projects. This is a tax, which makes it an illegal act of legislation without a vote of the people. It is part of a “deal” the big players in oil and gas made to supposedly get the governor off their back. They have been trying that game for decades and all it has gotten them is the most expensive state in the Union for oil and gas production. BTW, ultimately We the People pay for this cost of living increase which this new tax creates. Signed by governor

1. Guilty!

No, I am not writing about the feckless jury verdict against Donald Trump. I followed this case from the beginning and I assure you, it was a severe miscarriage of justice. The actual misdemeanor charges, which were way beyond the statute of limitations, were manipulated by the corrupt district attorney to elevate them to a felony and the even more corrupt judge blatantly did everything he could to deny the jury all of the evidence and therefore guarantee a guilty verdict.

The guilty parties are the district attorney, judge and everyone else who created this rampant destruction of our judicial system. All across the country every judge and other officer of the court needs to clean up this mess before the credibility of their (our) justice system is completely gone. The kangaroo court in Manhattan should be condemned by every responsible citizen and person in the judicial system. To accept the Trump verdict as anything more than a ham-fisted attempt to steal an election is to doom our judicial process to the ranks of tin-badge, third-world despots,

As for Trump’s prospects for this year’s election, this Manhattan Travesty may have guaranteed him a landslide victory in November if We the People stand up and demand better for our country.

Now, what does “stand up and demand better” mean? It is not to simply rush to the streets and protest the verdict, it means roll up our sleeves and get to work. As responsible citizens in a constitutional republic we can only keep it if we actively use it.

At every level of government we must insist on better. If you haven’t already, get involved. Contribute to candidates who will defend our Constitution. Spend time with their campaigns. Plug into other efforts to fix what is broken in our civil government systems.

For my part I am working on two vital initiatives here in Colorado. With a broad coalition of people across the state we started Protect Kids Colorado and now, with only two months to go, we are working hard to collect 200,000 signatures to put these issues on the November ballot. We need many more people to step up and help us. I can’t think of a better way to react to the Manhattan Travesty than to pitch in with us at Protect Kids Colorado.

We need hundreds more citizens to step up to make this happen. Carry the petitions to collect signatures at your church, in your neighborhood, with your family and other gatherings. You can also help coordinate petition circulation in your area or work with us behind the scenes with tracking, delivering and collecting of petitions. If you can help with the behind the scenes work send me an email: SenatorLundberg@gmail.com and I will get you started. Finally, pass this on to others who may also want to save our republic.

Please volunteer today. Our constitutional republic may not survive if you don’t become a part of the solution today.

Go to our website right now at ProtectKidsColorado.org. Finally, here is a great article on our initiatives from Joy Overbeck.

2. Is The Trans-Industrial Complex Collapsing?

As a followup to the first topic listed above, click here for a telling article on the implosion of the trans ideology around the western world, but Biden and Polis have yet to figure it out. Arm yourself with the facts, and help us put these timely initiatives before the voters in 2024.

3. Looming Electrical Power Shortages

This article from the Cornwall Alliance on Government policies threatening our electrical systems is worth considering. Policies here in Colorado and at the national level must change or our state and nation will not be able to meet the day-to-day needs of electricity in a very short time.

4. Governor Has One More Week to Sign or Veto

I am not listing all of the good and bad bills from the legislative session this week. There is too much happening elsewhere to spend much time on that now. The governor has 30 days following the legislative session to decide what to do with all of the bills that were passed. That gives him next week to wrap it up. I plan on reporting on that after the dust settles… For a list of the bills I have been tracking scroll down to last week’s report.

1. Protect Kids Colorado Needs Your Help Now!

2. Non-citizens Voting in D.C

3. Honoring a D-Day Hero

4. Governor‘s Veto Pen has Ink!

5. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday

1. Protect Kids Colorado Needs Your Help Now!

We have hundreds of petitions in the hands of petition circulators all across the state but we are just getting started, and only have a little over two months to get this wrapped up. We need your help now! A big need right now is people behind the scenes keeping track of the circulators and all the other bookkeeping tasks we have for a project this size.

If you can help, even for only one day please text Erin at 813-909-6130. This is a big job and we need you to get it done right. For more information on our initiatives go to protectkidscolorado.org.

2. Non-citizens Voting in D.C

Here is a story about a growing trend that makes no sense whatsoever. More and more cities are allowing non-citizens to vote in local elections and in the District of Columbia they even have a program to help illegal aliens get a piece of the action. These dangerous policies create more uncertainty in our elections, particularly with the millions of additional illegals crossing our borders since Biden took over. If our country is to survive this has to stop.

3. Honoring a D-Day Hero

It was my privilege to help prepare a tribute for a World War II hero from Colorado. He was part of a group of paratroopers who dropped in behind the German lines as the first wave of the D-Day invasion. Next month, on the 80th anniversary of D-Day there will be a permanent tribute unveiled in France to those brave men and their states.

Included in that memorial will be a tribute to John A. Giarratano from Pueblo County here in Colorado. This week I sent a Colorado flag, with a certificate that it had been flown over the state capitol and a proclamation from the governor. It actually took several months to get full cooperation from the governor’s office. Finally, with only a few days to spare, they provided the proclamation and the package is now on its way to the final destination in Ravenoville, France.

Here is the text for the proclamation:

Whereas, on the night of June 5-6, 1944 more than 6,500 elite
paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division – the first of the first –
spearheaded the American airborne assault on the Cotentin Peninsula
in Normandy, France with the critical missions of securing four
causeways leading inland from the beach codenamed ‘Utah’ and
neutralizing enemy resistance in advance of the amphibious landings at
dawn on D-Day morning by 4th Infantry Division; and

Whereas, a great many of the paratroopers were mis-dropped from
their designated drop zones, before dawn a small group led by Major
John P. Stopka, 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment, attacked and
captured a strategically sited and important German garrison
headquarters and strongpoint at Marmion Farm, on the outskirts of
Ravenoville village; and

Whereas, Major Stopka took the decision to hold the farm until relief
arrived from Utah Beach, thereby denying enemy movement against
the northern shoulder of the 101st assault area and the critical exits;
and

Whereas, throughout D-Day other mis-dropped paratroopers from
mixed elements of the 101st, even some from the 82nd Airborne,
arrived at the farm thereby strengthening the American defense
against “…repeated enemy counter-attacks…” the paratroopers held
firm until relieved on the early morning of June 7, 1944 by lead
elements of 4th Infantry Division; and

Whereas, on June 6, 2012 the Eternal Heroes’ Memorial was
inaugurated in Ravenoville Honoring the “Raveno Boys” whose heroic
stand made a significant contribution to the success of the amphibious

landings on Utah Beach and ultimately the Allied invasion of Normandy
on D-Day; and

Whereas, among their number was a gallant son of Colorado: John A.
Giarratano, Pueblo County;

Now Therefore, I, Jared Polis, Governor of the State of Colorado,
do hereby proclaim June 6-7, 2024 as: Eternal Heroes’ Memorial Days in
Memoriam of the Colorado “Raveno Boy”

4. Governor‘s Veto Pen has Ink!

Last week the governor actually vetoed six bills. One was on my bad bill list (HB 1080). I applaud him for that small step, but most of the worst bills of this very bad session are getting his signature. Make no mistake about it. This governor is the most radical leader we have ever had. Ever! He has put into law huge “fee” increases and signed billions in new fees into existence. He is still pushing the trans agenda in our public schools and transforming our state government with this woke ideology. Global warming is a tired and very discredited notion but Polis promotes big programs that are costing the taxpayers billions of dollars for little or no gain. He has yet to veto one gun grabbing bill. Don’t forget that this is also the governor who issued scores of “executives orders” during the COVID scare. I have watched many governors come and go, but Polis is the worst, leaving lasting scars all across our once beautiful and prosperous state.

Those bills he did veto are: SB-150, HB-1307, HB-260, HB-1080, HB-1010 and HB-1008

I will continue to list the bills I have targeted in my report as the governor has yet to sign, veto or allow to become law without his signature many of the worst bills from this session. Judging from the large number still unsigned, it could be a while before we know exactly how many of the worst bills of the session became law.

Please note that the bad bill list is not exhaustive, these are just the worst ones I have snagged.

BTW, PLV means party line vote.

Good Bills

HB24-1022 Publish Bill Drafts Online before Session This will help the citizens to get a better view of upcoming bills. Died on Calendar

HB24-1023 Civil Forfeiture Reform This is a system that needs much reform. Killed in first committee.

HB24-1026 Local Government Tax Payers’ Bill of Rights Prior Voter Approval Requirement Getting back to what TABOR is intended to require. Killed in first committee, PLV.

HB24-1029 Prohibit Foreign Ownership Agriculture & Natural Resources The title says it all. Killed in first committee, PLV.

HB24-1041 Streamline Filing Sales & Use Tax Returns Doesn’t do much, but every little bit helps. Signed into law.

HB24-1065 Reduction of State Income Tax Rate Lowers rate from 4.4% to 4.0%. Killed in first committee.

HB24-1106 Require Information about Abortion Pill Reversal Would require this information to be available with chemical abortion products. Killed in first committee, PLV.

HB24-1128 Enforcement of Federal Immigration Law This bill would return Colorado law to a more sane approach to immigration law. Killed in first committee, PLV.

HB24-1142 Reduce Income Tax Social Security Benefits Reducing taxes is a good idea. Passed Senate

HB24-1145 Modify Voter Registration Page on Secretary of State Website Gives the voter the option to vote in person rather than receive a mail ballot. Killed in first committee, PLV.

HB24-1166 Expand Homestead Exemptions Some additional property tax relief. Killed in first committee, PLV.

HB24-1224 Personhood of Living Unborn Human Child Good bill, little chance of surviving. Killed in first committee, PLV.

HB24-1279 Vote Tracking Number Elections Creates some election security. Killed in first committee, PLV.

SB24-092 Cost Effective Energy Codes Finally, common sense legislation that recognizes that laws may cost the individual citizen more than the law is worth. Killed in first committee, PLV.

SB24-098 Safety Clause Use Review This is a great idea! It requires all safety clauses on bills to be reviewed for their appropriateness. Killed in first committee, PLV.

SB24-144 Real Property Valuation Limits property assessment to no more than 6% per year. Killed in first committee, PLV.

Good Bill, Maybe

Bottom line is this. Polis will claim it is a tax reduction, but that is not so. It is only an alternative TABOR refund mechanism. Signed by governor

Bad bills

HB24-1017 Bill of Rights for Foster Youth This bill will cut out foster families who are not supporting the transgender ideology. Signed by governor.

HB24-1028 Overdose Prevention Centers Drug injection sites are back. Killed in Senate Committee.

HB24-1163 Pet Animal Registration System Will require all pets to be registered with the state and an additional fee will be levied as well. Killed in first committee.

HB24-1169 Repeal Divest from Companies with Israel Prohibitions Law Another slap at Israel. Killed in first committee.

HB24-1170 Rights for Youth Division of Youth Services Facilities More transgender ideology in state statute. Sent to the governor

HB24-1175 Local Governments Rights to Property for Affordable Housing This is called socialism, where the government is given extra power to own and control more property. Passed Senate.

HB24-1229 Presumptive Eligibility for Long-Term Care Will allow all illegal aliens long-term care. Sent to the governor

HB24-1245 Fair Labor Practice Requirements for Broadband Projects Favor unions for government projects. Died on calendar.

HB24-1292 Prohibit Certain Weapons Used in Mass Shootings Among many other prohibitions, bans the sale or transfer of most, if not all types of AR rifles. Killed in Senate committee.

HB24-1296 Modifications to the Colorado Open Records Act Pretty much guts Colorado’s open records act. This is a big step backward in government transparency. Killed Senate committee.

HB24-1330 Air Quality Permitting More regulations and restrictions on the oil an gas industry. Died on calendar.

HB24-1339 Disproportionately Impact Community Air Pollution More “Green New Deal” policies are on their way. Died on calendar.

HB24-1341 State Vehicle Idling Standard How dare you think that it is a good idea to warm up your car on a bitterly cold morning? Signed by governor.

HB24-1346 Energy & Carbon Management Regulation More control on our daily lives to chase their fictitious fear of carbon dioxide Sent to the governor

HB24-1348 Secure Firearm Storage in a Vehicle requires that guns in unattended vehicles be locked up in a trunk or hard case, effectively disarming citizens in their cars. Signed by governor

HB24-1349 Firearms & Ammunition Excise Tax creates a new tax on guns and ammunition. At least (thanks to TABOR) it will require a vote of the people to go into effect. Passed Senate, PLV.

HB24-1353 Firearms Dealer Requirements & Permit Creates a required state firearms permit for all firearms dealers. Passed Senate.

HB24-1366 Sustainable Local Government Community Planning Incorporates global warming nonsense into all local government planning. Died on calendar.

HB24-1367 Repeal Severance Tax Exemption for Stripper Wells More attacks on Oil and Gas industry. Died on calendar.

SB24-123 Waste Tire Management Enterprise One more “enterprise” to work around TABOR. Sent to the governor

SB24-166 Air Quality Enforcement Significantly increases penalties for violations of the ultra strict emission standards in Colorado law. Killed in Senate.

SB24-189 Gender-Related Bias-Motivated Crimes More trans, woke terminology and policies… This adds transgender to the potential hate crimes list. Passed House, PLV.

SB24-200 Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion in Child Welfare Incorporates “equity, diversity, & inclusion” principles into child welfare policies. Need I say more? Passed House, PLV.

SB24-214 Implement State Climate Goals The title says enough. Signed by governor.

1. Protect Kids Colorado Needs Your Help Now!

We now have less than three months to collect all of the required signatures.

2. General Session is Done, but the Governor Isn’t

3. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday

1. Protect Kids Colorado Needs Your Help Now!

It took about six months to get title for our initiatives, which means we now have less than three months to collect all of the required signatures. I am already overwhelmed with all of the people who are jumping in to help, but we also need you to join in this movement. It is vital that we protect our kids from the dangerous gender ideology that is now rampant in our public schools. If you are not yet convinced, check out our documentary, Art Club.

To carry a petition to your friends, sign up at ProtectKidsColorado.org. However, we also need several behind the scenes people to help with the organization, distribution and collection of the petitions. If this is an area you can be a part of please text Erin at 813-909-6130. She needs several helping hands to take care of the many details for this statewide operation.

Another way to help us launch this movement is with paying for our expenses. To donate go to ProtectKidsColorado.org.

Finally, pass this on to others. We have very little time to complete this task, but there is such universal concern for protecting our kids that most Colorado citizens just need to know about our effort to respond positively. Put this on your social media, bring this to the attention of your church, talk about it to your friends and family. Help us get the word out in every way you can!

2. General Session is Done, but the Governor Isn’t

705 bills were introduced, which I am sure is a record. I identified 56 bad bills and 17 good bills. Two good bills were approved. 32 bad bills were passed by the House and the Senate. It was not a good year for smaller government, lower taxes or freedom. I will continue to list these in my report as the governor has yet to sign, veto or allow them to become law without his signature. Judging from the large number still unsigned, it could be a while before we know exactly how many of the worst bills of the session became law.
