5. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday
1. Three for Three!
This week the third PKC initiative was approved for the 2026 ballot! Here is our executive director, Erin Lee, proclaiming it to the world.
2. Election Matters
So much is still unfolding on election matters. The US Senate is engaged in a long debate about the SAVE Act. This bill would require extensive changes in Colorado and in other states more evidence of voter fraud is coming out. Finally, Tina Peters remains in prison, still being held for doing her job as a county clerk and recorder and our elections continue to be very vulnerable.
3. Jeffco Schools Reject Fed’s Demand
Last week I reported on a late breaking story of the US Department of Education giving the Jefferson County School District 10 days to stop including biological boys in girls sports programs, citing at least 61 examples. Here is a followup on that situation and here is the district’s response, which is a flat out refusal to comply. Stay tuned for more as this situation develops.
4. Legislative Bills
The count of introduced bills is now at 484. We are far enough into the session to see that virtually all good, conservative bills are killed in the first committee and most of the bad bills sail right through, more often than not by a party-line vote. In other words, this year is just like the last several years. The majority party is ruling with an iron fist.
Good bills
Second Amendment Protection Act
Title says it all. This bill would repeal many of the current Colorado laws that limit our Second Amendment rights. Killed in first committee
Expand Deduction for Retirement Benefit
Tax reductions are almost always good steps in the right direction. Killed in first committee PLV
Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday
Nuff said… Passed first committee
Right to Firearm Possession & Elimination of Extreme Risk Protection Orders
This bill repeals the red flag laws. Killed in committee, PLV
Limitations on Bills Introduced by General Assembly Members
Lowers the number of bills allowed to each member from the current policy of five bills to three bills. Killed in first committee
90 Day Legislative Session
Shortens the legislative session from 120 days to 90 days. Killed in first committee
Children Are Not for Sale Act
Similar to the PKC initiative, but not as strong a penalty as the PKC initiative. Killed in first committee PLV
Protect Female Sports Act
Similar to the PKC initiative of banning men in women’s sports programs. Killed in Committee PLV
Offer Pregnant Person Do Not Abort Form
Creates a legal form for a pregnant woman to clearly state their intent to never abort the child, in the event that the mother is not able to communicate due to some illness or injury. Killed in first committee
Safeguard Minors from Sex-Altering Interventions
Similar to the PKC initiative banning sex-altering surgeries and related issues. Killed in first committee, PLV.
Discuss Adoption Information with Pregnant Persons
Requires abortion clinics to offer information about adoption. Killed in committee, PLV
Limitation on Gender Transition Procedure Claims
Authorizes a suit to be brought against a doctor who conducted a gender transition procedure on a youth up until the age of 38. Killed in committee, PLV
Temporary Decrease Statutory Property Tax Revenue Limits
Modestly limits growth for property taxes. Killed in committee, PLV
Constitutional Carry of Handgun
Lowers age minimum to 18 and makes concealed carry automatic, without a permit.
Repeal Retail Delivery Fees
Killed in committee, PLV
Department of Public Health and Environment Regulation of Abortion Clinics
Killed in committee, PLV
Family Stability & Kinship Care
Challenges Meeting 2030 Emissions Reduction Goals
A mild pushback against shutting down all coal-fired plants by 2030.
State & Local Unmanned Aircraft Regulation
Keeps local governments out of regulating drones. Killed in committee
Parental Equality & Child Empowerment Act
Encourages equal parenting time for parents. Lost, PLV (party-line vote)
Ban Government Access Historical Location Information Database
In today’s data hungry world this bill would put some limits on how much personal location information that a government agency can collect and share. Passed first committee
Bad bills
Housing Developments on Qualifying Properties
Creates a special class of devlopers of low income housing that excludes for profit developers and the bill prempts local zoning codes, including height regulations in residential areas. This bill typifies the socialist attitude that big government knows best by replacing free-market dynamics with a new set of heavy government regulations. Passed Senate
Worker Protection Collective Bargaining
This bill would break the balance Colorado has had for many years between a right to work state and a unionized state. Even Polis had to veto a similar bill last year. We shall see if he is consistent this year. Passed House, PLV
Data Center & Utility Modernization
This encourages data centers, but it only gives the tax breaks to union shops, hence it makes the bad bill list.
Protections for Worker Safety
Anti-Trump deregulations. This bill looks to be intended to stop Trump administration attempts to ease off on federal regulations. Passed first committee
Transit and Housing Investment Zones
Tens of millions of dollars for transit funding gimmicks. Passed first committee PLV
Eviction Protections for Tenants
Makes the evistion process much longer and more difficult.
Modifications to Elections
This 44 page bill concerns very detailed election processes. It seems to fully repeal any process to challenge improper voter registrations, it extends the days for voting, requires all colleges of 1000 students or more (not just state schools) to have access to voting on campus, it creates more details for rank choice voting and I am certain it creates much more mischief in these 44 pages. Passed House, PLV
Requirements for Firearms Dealers
Makes it much more difficult to be a firearms dealer in Colorado. Requires permanent records be kept for all firearms transactions and those records to be available to all police officers. This looks like the beginning of gun registration in Colorado. Passed House, PLV
Prohibit Three-Dimensional Printing Firearms & Components
Not only prohibits making gun parts with 3-D printing, but makes it illegal to even have the software that could produce those parts. Passed Senate Committee, PLV
Tenant Data Information
More regulations on landlords equals less and more expensive housing in the state.Passed committee, PLV
Modify Tax Expenditures
This bill intentionally increases business taxes and Colorado tax preparation by decoupling state depreciation from federal tax depreciation schedules. Even though the bill mentions a legal decision that stated TABOR is not violated if the net revenues to the district do not go up, this bill (and HB26-1223) corrupts the concept by increasing taxes in one area and specifically spending the same amount in a totally unrelated area somehow doesn’t violate the TABOR principle that the voters must approve all new taxes. BTW, TABIR does not have any provision of allowing “de minimus” increases of taxes. Instead TABOR says: “Its preferred interpretation shall reasonably restrain most the growth of government.”
Passed committee, PLV
Modifying Certain Tax Expenditures
Another blatant violation of TABOR. Intentionally states that it does not violate TABOR when iti increases sales taxes on software sales and shifts those new tax revenues to child tax credits, all without a vote of the people.Passed committee
Law Enforcement Identification & Immigration Training Requirements
Anti-ICE legislation killed in committee
Protect Safety of Individuals Who Are Immigrants
Anti-ICE legislation passed in committee
Modification of Certain Tax Expenditures
This 70 page bill is packed full of changes to the Colorado tax code. Many are increasing the radical left’s climate change policies by giving more incentives for “green” policies. The bill also has several tax increases, including a real bombshell in section 17 that will put a sales tax on all precious metal sales. This is a new tax and a clear violation of TABOR because the bill does not require a vote of the people to create this new tax. I am certain there are many other TABOR violations in this tax bill, but this tax and gold and silver is a huge policy shift and it is buried in the middle of this very complicated tax bill.
Colorado Bureau of Investigation Firearms InstaCheck Unit Operating Hours
One more anti-gun bill. This one eliminates the CBI requirement that they be available 12 hours a day to process background checks.
Right to Be Out at Work
This requires all employers use any name an employee choses and the employee cannot be restricted to dress in their biologically correct clothing. The trans employee can use whatever bathroom they want. Other employees are to be trained to accept transgenderism as normal, etc. etc. I also have not found any conscience exception for a business owner (think Bible believing business owner, church, christian school, etc.) that finds these requirements violate their moral convictions.
Accessible Language Statutory Ballot Title Requirements
This bill rips apart a significant component of the Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights (TABOR). TABOR requires specific language placement for ballot questions that deal with taxes and spending. The bill allows the Title Board to ignore what the Colorado Constitution says and bury the TABOR required language in the ballot title.
Civil Actions for Conversion Therapy Survivors
This one is obviously aimed at the current case before the US Supreme Court challenging the Colorado law preventing a licensed therapist from any treatment for gender dysfunctions except affirming the patient’s gender confusion. This opens up the therapist and anyone managing that therapist to significant legal exposure by virtually inviting lawsuits against any therapy that questions the transgender ideology.
Abortion Medication Access on College Campuses
One more state policy that officially endorses abortion and forces schools to comply. There isa religious conviction exemption, but absent that, every other school is required to follow this abortion madate.
Expand List of Petitioners for Protection Order
Expands red flag laws with additional entities who can file these secret reports to have guns confiscated without the owner being notified of the court proceeding. Included in the additions is K-12 schools. Given the attitudes in some schools, it is very troubling to think that nder the terms of this bill the school could initiate this secret court order. Passed House
Rights Violation in Immigration Enforcement Remedy
Anti-ICE bill creates a path for personal lawsuits against ICE officers or those who cooperate with Ice. Passed Senate, PLV
Mental Health Access
Creates a fee (tax) on internet provider services for mental health services. This new enterprise would tax just about everyone in the state without a vote from the people. It is a clear violation of TABOR.
Legal Protections for Dignity of Minors
Makes changing a minor’s name (transing) secret in court public documents and if a parent is not supportive of transing the child the court is to use that criteria to restrict or remove the parent’s access to the child. Click here for more information from Heritage Action on this bill. Passed Senate, PLV
Revenue Classification Taxpayers Bill of Rights
This bill lists many fees and fines that are not subject to TABOR revenue limits. I suspect it is designed to bring in more money for a soon to be cash strapped state government. Passed Finance, PLV
Record Keeping & Regulation of Sale of Firearm Barrel
More anti-gun legislation, this time giving a gun barrel sale as many regulatory hurdles as a complete gun sale and requires records be kept for firearm barrel transactions. Passed Senate
Workers’ Compensation Insurance Coverage Verification
Requires workers comp insurance for just about all permitted building projects in the state Passed Senate committee, PLV
Decriminalize Adult Commercial Sexual Activity
This bill legalizes prostitution. Wow. Killed in Committee
Large-Load Data Centers
This bill requires all large data centers to provide their own electric power, which makes some sense, but it also requires it to be “green” energy, which makes it impossible. However, it makes as much sense as any other impossible green energy mandate, so in the make believe world of the global warming extremists it is at least consistent.
Authorize Local Electronic Ballot Return
Creates online voting for local elections
State Public K-12 Education Funding
This bill, if enacted and allowed to run it’s course for the next ten years will strip billions of dollars from the TABOR refunds to pay even more to our failing public schools. At least they recognize that the people must vote on this TABOR busting idea. The bill actually doubles the amount prescribed for growth for government school funding over the last time they tried this scenario (about 25 years ago). We know the results will not be good. Here is what a proponent of the bill has to say. Passed committee, PLV
Transfers of Certain Pet Animals
Banning all pet stores from selling cats and dogs. Passed House, PLV
Consumer Protections to Promote Fair Market Pricing
Puts the government in charge of retail prices in many stores across the state. Killed in committee

2. Jeffco Schools Ordered to Repeal Their Transgender Policies
3. Energy Secretary Wright on Colorado’s Energy Policies
4. Legislative Bills
5. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday
1. PKC Initiatives Banned from Legislative Hearing
Say what? A Colorado legislative chairman said that ballot initiatives cannot be mentioned in a committee hearing, where the bill being considered is in fact the initiative in bill form. This ruling from the chair was so out of line it deserved to be ridiculed and then ignored. However, it also shows how much impact these initiatives are having, even before they are all officially recognized for the 2026 ballot.
More evidence of the irrational judgement of Colorado legislators can be found here and here.
A brief look at my good bill/bad bill list (#4 below) shows that just about every good bill is killed and bad bills pass.
2. Jeffco Schools Ordered to Repeal Their Transgender Policies
The Jefferson County schools have been on a rampage to impose transgender policies in their sports programs. Now the Department of Education just issued a demand that they stop these Title IX violations immediately. Read more about this on this X post.
3. Energy Secretary Wright on Colorado’s Energy Policies
This week the U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright was in Colorado
addressing Colorado’s counterproductive policies on energy issues. Having been a Colorado oil and gas energy executive before becoming the U.S. Energy Secretary, he is THE expert on this subject. Polis’ people defend their policies as a “balanced” approach, but how can any balance be claimed when the state embraces the notion that carbon dioxide is the demon but coal, oil and gas energy has been Colorado’s biggest industry and they are moving to eliminate coal, oil and gas?

1. First PKC Initiative is on the Ballot!
This week Protect Kids Colorado was informed that the first initiative petitions, for increasing sex trafficking penalties, was approved for the ballot as 91% of the signatures submitted were accepted as valid. We still are waiting for the results of the other two initiatives, but this is very good news for the first round.
2. Tina +. Griswold –
While even Polis seems to understand some of the injustice Tina Peters has endured, Jenna Griswold slips deeper and deeper into the black hole she has created for herself. We still have a long way to go before the scales of justice are balanced, but check out these recent reports on Griswold’s election systems here and here.
3. Sharia Law in the US
This is a lengthy collection of recent posts I have collected, mostly from X, covering what others have seen and said about the growing influence of this ancient political philosophy that drapes itself in the appearance of a “religion.” In fact, it is a seventh century social construct of raw and violent political power that has been a scourge to much of Europe and Africa for Centuries. It was also one of the first international conflicts our nation faced, under President Jefferson’s administration.
Please at least sample some of these links as they tell a story we had better not ignore.

The count of introduced bills is now at 458. This week one big story is the two bills doubling down on forcing transgender ideology on all Colorado citizens.
Right to Be Out at Work
This requires all employers use any name an employee choses and the employee cannot be restricted to dress in their biologically correct clothing. The trans employee can use whatever bathroom they want. Other employees are to be trained to accept transgenderism as normal, etc. etc. I also have not found any conscience exception for a business owner (think Bible believing business owner, church, christian school, etc.) that finds these requirements violate their moral convictions.
Civil Actions for Conversion Therapy Survivors
This one is obviously aimed at the current case before the US Supreme Court challenging the Colorado law preventing a licensed therapist from any treatment for gender dysfunctions except affirming the patient’s gender confusion. This opens up the therapist and anyone managing that therapist to significant legal exposure by virtually inviting lawsuits against any therapy that questions the transgender ideology.
The other big bad bill introduced this week is:
State Public K-12 Education Funding
This bill, if enacted and allowed to run it’s course for the next ten years will strip billions of dollars from the TABOR refunds to pay even more to our failing public schools. At least they recognize that the people must vote on this TABOR busting idea. The bill actually doubles the amount prescribed for growth for government school funding over the last time they tried this scenario (about 25 years ago). We know the results will not be good. Here is what a proponent of the bill has to say.
Here are the rest of the best and the worst:
Good bills
Second Amendment Protection Act
Title says it all. This bill would repeal many of the current Colorado laws that limit our Second Amendment rights. Killed in first committee
Expand Deduction for Retirement Benefit
Tax reductions are almost always good steps in the right direction. Killed in first committee PLV
Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday
Nuff said… Passed first committee
Right to Firearm Possession & Elimination of Extreme Risk Protection Orders
This bill repeals the red flag laws. Killed in committee, PLV
Limitations on Bills Introduced by General Assembly Members
Lowers the number of bills allowed to each member from the current policy of five bills to three bills. Killed in first committee
90 Day Legislative Session
Shortens the legislative session from 120 days to 90 days. Killed in first committee
Children Are Not for Sale Act
Similar to the PKC initiative, but not as strong a penalty as the PKC initiative. Killed in first committee PLV
Protect Female Sports Act
Similar to the PKC initiative of banning men in women’s sports programs
Offer Pregnant Person Do Not Abort Form
Creates a legal form for a pregnant woman to clearly state their intent to never abort the child, in the event that the mother is not able to communicate due to some illness or injury. Killed in first committee
Safeguard Minors from Sex-Altering Interventions
Similar to the PKC initiative banning sex-altering surgeries and related issues. Killed in first committee, PLV.
Discuss Adoption Information with Pregnant Persons
Requires abortion clinics to offer information about adoption.
Limitation on Gender Transition Procedure Claims
Authorizes a suit to be brought against a doctor who conducted a gender transition procedure on a youth up until the age of 38.
Temporary Decrease Statutory Property Tax Revenue Limits
Modestly limits growth for property taxes.
Constitutional Carry of Handgun
Lowers age minimum to 18 and makes concealed carry automatic, without a permit.
Repeal Retail Delivery Fees
Department of Public Health and Environment Regulation of Abortion Clinics
Challenges Meeting 2030 Emissions Reduction Goals sort of good bill
A mild pushback against shutting down all coal-fired plants by 2030.
State & Local Unmanned Aircraft Regulation
Keeps local governments out of regulating drones. Killed in committee
Parental Equality & Child Empowerment Act
Encourages equal parenting time for parents. Lost, PLV (party-line vote)
Ban Government Access Historical Location Information Database
In today’s data hungry world this bill would put some limits on how much personal location information that a government agency can collect and share. Passed first committee
Bad bills
Housing Developments on Qualifying Properties
Creates a special class of devlopers of low income housing that excludes for profit developers and the bill prempts local zoning codes, including height regulations in residential areas. This bill typifies the socialist attitude that big government knows best by replacing free-market dynamics with a new set of heavy government regulations. Passed Senate committee, PLV
Worker Protection Collective Bargaining
This bill would break the balance Colorado has had for many years between a right to work state and a unionized state. Even Polis had to veto a similar bill last year. We shall see if he is consistent this year. Passed second reading
Data Center & Utility Modernization
This encourages data centers, but it only gives the tax breaks to union shops, hence it makes the bad bill list.
Protections for Worker Safety
Anti-Trump deregulations. This bill looks to be intended to stop Trump administration attempts to ease off on federal regulations. Passed first committee
Transit and Housing Investment Zones
Tens of millions of dollars for transit funding gimmicks. Passed first committee PLV
Eviction Protections for Tenants
Makes the evistion process much longer and more difficult.
Modifications to Elections
This 44 page bill concerns very detailed election processes. It seems to fully repeal any process to challenge improper voter registrations, it extends the days for voting, requires all colleges of 1000 students or more (not just state schools) to have access to voting on campus, it creates more details for rank choice voting and I am certain it creates much more mischief in these 44 pages. Passed House, PLV
Requirements for Firearms Dealers
Makes it much more difficult to be a firearms dealer in Colorado. Requires permanent records be kept for all firearms transactions and those records to be available to all police officers. This looks like the beginning of gun registration in Colorado. Passed committee, PLV
Prohibit Three-Dimensional Printing Firearms & Components
Not only prohibits making gun parts with 3-D printing, but makes it illegal to even have the software that could produce those parts. Passed House
Tenant Data Information
More regulations on landlords equals less and more expensive housing in the state.
Modify Tax Expenditures
This bill intentionally increases business taxes and Colorado tax preparation by decoupling state depreciation from federal tax depreciation schedules. Even though the bill mentions a legal decision that stated TABOR is not violated if the net revenues to the district do not go up, this bill (and HB26-1223) corrupts the concept by increasing taxes in one area and specifically spending the same amount in a totally unrelated area somehow doesn’t violate the TABOR principle that the voters must approve all new taxes. BTW, TABIR does not have any provision of allowing “de minimus” increases of taxes. Instead TABOR says: “Its preferred interpretation shall reasonably restrain most the growth of government.”
Modifying Certain Tax Expenditures
Another blatant violation of TABOR. Intentionally states that it does not violate TABOR when iti increases sales taxes on software sales and shifts those new tax revenues to child tax credits, all without a vote of the people.
Law Enforcement Identification & Immigration Training Requirements
Anti ICE legislation
Protect Safety of Individuals Who Are Immigrants
Anti ICE legislation
Modification of Certain Tax Expenditures
This 70 page bill is packed full of changes to the Colorado tax code. Many are increasing the radical left’s climate change policies by giving more incentives for “green” policies. The bill also has several tax increases, including a real bombshell in section 17 that will put a sales tax on all precious metal sales. This is a new tax and a clear violation of TABOR because the bill does not require a vote of the people to create this new tax. I am certain there are many other TABOR violations in this tax bill, but this tax and gold and silver is a huge policy shift and it is buried in the middle of this very complicated tax bill.
Colorado Bureau of Investigation Firearms InstaCheck Unit Operating Hours
One more anti-gun bill. This one eliminates the CBI requirement that they be available 12 hours a day to process background checks.
Right to Be Out at Work
This requires all employers use any name an employee choses and the employee cannot be restricted to dress in their biologically correct clothing. The trans employee can use whatever bathroom they want. Other employees are to be trained to accept transgenderism as normal, etc. etc. I also have not found any conscience exception for a business owner (think Bible believing business owner, church, christian school, etc.) that finds these requirements violate their moral convictions.
Accessible Language Statutory Ballot Title Requirements
This bill rips apart a significant component of the Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights (TABOR). TABOR requires specific language placement for ballot questions that deal with taxes and spending. The bill allows the Title Board to ignore what the Colorado Constitution says and bury the TABOR required language in the ballot title.
Civil Actions for Conversion Therapy Survivors
This one is obviously aimed at the current case before the US Supreme Court challenging the Colorado law preventing a licensed therapist from any treatment for gender dysfunctions except affirming the patient’s gender confusion. This opens up the therapist and anyone managing that therapist to significant legal exposure by virtually inviting lawsuits against any therapy that questions the transgender ideology.
Here are the rest of the best and the worst:
Expand List of Petitioners for Protection Order
Expands red flag laws with additional entities who can file these secret reports to have guns confiscated without the owner being notified of the court proceeding. Included in the additions is K-12 schools. Given the attitudes in some schools, it is very troubling to think that nder the terms of this bill the school could initiate this secret court order. Passed House committee, PLV
Rights Violation in Immigration Enforcement Remedy
Anti-ICE bill creates a path for personal lawsuits against ICE officers or those who cooperate with Ice. Passed House committee, PLV
Mental Health Access
Creates a fee (tax) on internet provider services for mental health services. This new enterprise would tax just about everyone in the state without a vote from the people. It is a clear violation of TABOR.
Legal Protections for Dignity of Minors
Makes changing a minor’s name (transing) secret in court public documents and if a parent is not supportive of transing the child the court is to use that criteria to restrict or remove the parent’s access to the child. Click here for more information from Heritage Action on this bill. Passed Senate, PLV
Revenue Classification Taxpayers Bill of Rights
This bill lists many fees and fines that are not subject to TABOR revenue limits. I suspect it is designed to bring in more money for a soon to be cash strapped state government. Passed Finance, PLV
Record Keeping & Regulation of Sale of Firearm Barrel
More anti-gun legislation, this time giving a gun barrel sale as many regulatory hurdles as a complete gun sale and requires records be kept for firearm barrel transactions. Passed Senate
Workers’ Compensation Insurance Coverage Verification
Requires workers comp insurance for just about all permitted building projects in the state Passed Senate committee, PLV
Decriminalize Adult Commercial Sexual Activity
This bill legalizes prostitution. Wow.
Large-Load Data Centers
This bill requires all large data centers to provide their own electric power, which makes some sense, but it also requires it to be “green” energy, which makes it impossible. However, it makes as much sense as any other impossible green energy mandate, so in the make believe world of the global warming extremists it is at least consistent.
Authorize Local Electronic Ballot Return
Creates online voting for local elections
State Public K-12 Education Funding
This bill, if enacted and allowed to run it’s course for the next ten years will strip billions of dollars from the TABOR refunds to pay even more to our failing public schools. At least they recognize that the people must vote on this TABOR busting idea.

Here is what a proponent of the bill has to say.
Transfers of Certain Pet Animals
Banning all pet stores from selling cats and dogs. Passed House, PLV
Consumer Protections to Promote Fair Market Pricing
Puts the government in charge of retail prices in many stores across the state. Killed in committee

1. Caucuses are Next Week
Party caucuses across the state are next week. In Larimer County it is March 3 at 7:00 PM. Some counties will be later in the week, check with your county GOP for the details. If you live in Larimer click here for more information.
2. PKC Petitions THANK YOU to All!
After so many months of working on the petition campaign it seems like a dream to know that over 500,000 signatures were delivered to the Secretary of State’s office. Here is a brief video celebrating this momentous achievement.
3. Election Issues
Elections have consequences, as the legislative bill list below graphically illustrates. However elections also have their problems and we cannot ignore the consequences of those problems. Here, here and here are a few links I collected this week that deserve your attention. Please note that for the last link I do not agree with most of what Kyle Clark says, but we must consider carefully what Griswold is preparing for Colorado voters.
4. Legislative Bills
The count of introduced bills is now at 439. We are far enough into the session to see that the Democrats have not modified their relentless push to radically change Colorado. Often they will back off in an election year. I wonder, are they grabbing all they can in this year’s session, anticipating a possible Republican win in November?
Among the bills introduced this week is
HB26-1289 – Modification of Certain Tax Expenditures.
This 70 page bill is packed full of changes to the Colorado tax code. Section 17 puts a sales tax on all precious metal sales. This new tax on gold and silver is a clear violation of TABOR because the bill does not require a vote of the people to create this new tax. It also misses the point that gold and silver are in many ways a type of currency and taxing the exchange of it is not much different than taxing the exchange of stocks, other securities and even bank accounts. The government already taxes any capitol gains that may come from selling precious metals. This double taxation will simply drive such transactions and businesses out of the state.

1. PKC – Mission Accomplished!
Protect Kids Colorado collected over 500,000 signatures for the three initiatives, over 173,000 for the child sex trafficking penalties, over 170,000 for the women’s sports initiative and over 163,000 for the ban on mutilating surgeries measure. More than 3300 people carried the petitions all across the state.
The Secretary of State (SOS) has 30 days to determine the actual count of accepted signatures, so for now we wait and pray for a good report.
2. Rubio’s Munich Speech
Marco Rubio gave a significant policy speech to European leaders, which can be found here. The actual speech is about 20 minutes long and well worth watching.

Trump is not giving up. Election reforms are coming and Colorado’s SOS is feeling the heat.

However, it makes as much sense as any other impossible green energy mandate, so in the make believe world of the global warming extremists it is at least consistent.

3. Election Integrity Issues
4. Legislative Bills
5. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday
1. PKC Report
We are now collecting and processing the final petitions, all of which must be delivered to the Secretary of State’s office next week. It looks like we should have a sufficient number of signatures to turn in, but some will inevitably be disqualified and that throws some uncertainty into the outcome.
THANK YOU to the thousands of citizens who have been a part of this huge endeavor! These are important issues that should be put before the voters in November. We are trusting in God’s guidance and blessing for the work of Protect Kids Colorado.
This has been a battle in many ways, here are some examples of what some of our petition circulators have had to put up with. And the fight goes on at several levels. Here is a post of Erin Lee talking to legislators at the state capitol this week. As of this writing there have been over 225,000 views of this post asking legislators to sign the petitions.
Please pray for everyone involved in PKC’s campaign as we race to the finish line.
2. Gun Registration, Prostitution and Transgenderism
The Colorado legislature is taking on big issues, all for the wrong reasons. While conservatives work to protect kids, promote a healthy economy with lower taxes and preserve the integrity of our elections, the legislature is setting up systems to legalize prostitution, register guns and defend transgenderism.
HB26-1126 makes it much more difficult to be a firearms dealer in Colorado. The bill requires permanent records be kept for all firearms transactions and those records are to be available to all police officers when requested. This looks to me to be the beginning of gun registration in Colorado. Click here for more analysis and click here and here for info on other anti-gun bills.
3. Election Integrity Issues
The SAVE Act is gaining traction in the US Senate. but still no vote. Here is a story from Newsmax that gives some additional information, but they still can’t seem to get away from taking a jab at Trump (“…driven by Trump’s false claims that large numbers of people in the country illegally have been voting in federal elections). Here and here are more links that explore the issues surrounding election integrity.
4. Legislative Bills
The count of introduced bills is now at 325. Here are the best and the worst:
Good bills
Second Amendment Protection Act
Title says it all. This bill would repeal many of the current Colorado laws that limit our Second Amendment rights. Killed in first committee
Expand Deduction for Retirement Benefit
Tax reductions are almost always good steps in the right direction.
Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday
Nuff said…
Right to Firearm Possession & Elimination of Extreme Risk Protection Orders
This bill repeals the red flag laws.
Limitations on Bills Introduced by General Assembly Members
Lowers the number of bills allowed to each member from the current policy of five bills to three bills.
90 Day Legislative Session
Shortens the legislative session from 120 days to 90 days,
Children Are Not for Sale Act
Similar to the PKC initiative, but not as strong a penalty as the PKC initiative
Protect Female Sports Act
Similar to the PKC initiative of banning men in women’s sports programs
Offer Pregnant Person Do Not Abort Form
Creates a legal form for a pregnant woman to clearly state their intent to never abort the child, in the event that the mother is not able to communicate due to some illness or injury.
Safeguard Minors from Sex-Altering Interventions
Similar to the PKC initiative banning sex-altering surgeries and related issues.
Discuss Adoption Information with Pregnant Persons
Requires abortion clinics to offer information about adoption.
Limitation on Gender Transition Procedure Claims
Authorizes a suit to be brought against a doctor who conducted a gender transition procedure on a youth up until the age of 38.
Temporary Decrease Statutory Property Tax Revenue Limits
Modestly limits growth for property taxes.
Constitutional Carry of Handgun
Lowers age minimum to 18 and makes concealed carry automatic, without a permit.
Challenges Meeting 2030 Emissions Reduction Goals sort of good bill
A mild pushback against shutting down all coal-fired plants by 2030.
State & Local Unmanned Aircraft Regulation
Keeps local governments out of regulating drones.
Parental Equality & Child Empowerment Act
Encourages equal parenting time for parents. Lost, PLV (party-line vote)
Ban Government Access Historical Location Information Database
In today’s data hungry world this bill would put some limits on how much personal location information that a government agency can collect and share.
Bad bills
Housing Developments on Qualifying Properties
Creates a special class of devlopers of low income housing that excludes for profit developers and the bill prempts local zoning codes, including height regulations in residential areas. This bill typifies the socialist attitude that big government knows best by replacing free-market dynamics with a new set of heavy government regulations. Passed House
Worker Protection Collective Bargaining
This bill would break the balance Colorado has had for many years between a right to work state and a unionized state. Even Polis had to veto a similar bill last year. We shall see if he is consistent this year. Passed second committee, PLV
Data Center & Utility Modernization
This encourages data centers, but it only gives the tax breaks to union shops, hence it makes the bad bill list.
Protections for Worker Safety
Anti-Trump deregulations. This bill looks to be intended to stop Trump administration attempts to ease off on federal regulations.
Transit and Housing Investment Zones
Tens of millions of dollars for transit funding gimmicks
Eviction Protections for Tenants
Makes the evistion process much longer and more difficult.
Modifications to Elections
this 44 page bill is very detailed election processes. It seems to fully repeal any process to challenge improper voter registrations, it extends the days for voting, requires all colleges of 1000 students or more (not just state schools) to have access to voting on campus, it creates more details for rank choice voting and I am certain it creates much more mischief in these 44 pages.
Requirements for Firearms Dealers
Makes it much more difficult to be a firearms dealer in Colorado. Requires permanent records be kept for all firearms transactions and those records to be available to all police officers. This looks like the beginning of gun registration in Colorado.
Prohibit Three-Dimensional Printing Firearms & Components
Not only prohibits making gun parts with 3-D printing, but makes it illegal to even have the software that could produce those parts.
Tenant Data Information
More regulations on landlords equals less and more expensive housing in the state.
Expand List of Petitioners for Protection Order
Expands red flag laws with additional entities who can file these secret reports to have guns confiscated without the owner being notified of the court proceeding. Included in the additions is K-12 schools. Given the attitudes in some schools, it is very troubling to think that nder the terms of this bill the school could initiate this secret court order. Passed Senate
Rights Violation in Immigration Enforcement Remedy
Anti-ICE bill creates a path for personal lawsuits against ICE officers or those who cooperate with Ice. Passed Committee, PLV
Mental Health Access
Creates a fee (tax) on internet provider services for mental health services. This new enterprise would tax just about everyone in the state without a vote from the people. It is a clear violation of TABOR.
Legal Protections for Dignity of Minors
Makes changing a minor’s name (transing) secret in court public documents and if a parent is not supportive of transing the child the court is to use that criteria to restrict or remove the parent’s access to the child. Click here for more information from Heritage Action on this bill.
Revenue Classification Taxpayers Bill of Rights
This bill lists many fees and fines that are not subject to TABOR revenue limits. I suspect it is designed to bring in more money for a soon to be cash strapped state government. Passed Finance, PLV
Record Keeping & Regulation of Sale of Firearm Barrel
More anti-gun legislation, this time giving a gun barrel sale as many regulatory hurdles as a complete gun sale and requires records be kept for firearm barrel transactions.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance Coverage Verification
Requires workers comp insurance for just about all permitted building projects in the state
Decriminalize Adult Commercial Sexual Activity
This bill legalizes prostitution. Wow.
SB26-102
Large-Load Data Centers
This bill requires all large data centers to provide their own electric power, which makes some sense, but it also requires it to be “green” energy, which makes it impossible. However, it makes as much sense as any other impossible green energy mandate, so in the make believe world of the global warming extremists it is at least consistent.

1. PKC Report
2. Trump Announces Special Day of Prayer and Dedication
4. Legislative Bills
5. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday
1. PKC Report
Underscoring the relevance of Protect Kids Colorado’s initiatives, a $2,000,000 judgement against doctors who conducted a trans surgery on a minor was decided recently. And, I am sure not coincidentally, medical associations are starting to realize how wrong they were in promoting these surgeries.
Meanwhile, the campaign to collect the signatures for the PKC initiatives is in its final days and everything is heating up. We are encountering more and more opposition, probably because our opponents know we are very close to our final goal. If you have any petitions please get them notarized and back to PKC as soon as you can. If you are involved in one of the final-final outreach projects, do all you can to collect a few more.
2. Trump Announces Special Day of Dedication
This week, at the annual national prayer breakfast President Trump said that on May 17, on the National Mall in Washington D C., he is calling for a special service of re-dedication of our nation to God. On this year celebrating our 250th anniversary it is quite fitting, and clearly in line with previous presidential actions to call the nation to prayer and rededication to God. I look forward to more details of this historic event.

1. PKC – Sprint to the Finis
With the exception of a few last minute events, Protect Kids Colorado is now gathering the thousands of petitions spread all across the state. Please don’t delay, if you have petitions, grab the last signatures you need, get them notarized and pass it back up the line from whoever you initially got the petitions.
We are amazed at how creative people have been in collecting their last few signatures at their church, stores, sport events and just about any other gathering in Colorado.
It will take just under 125,000 valid signatures to qualify for the 2026 ballot and we are fast approaching that final tally. Thank you to all who have done so much, so far.
2. Sue Rehg
I received the sad news that Sue Rehg, a long-time patriot in Larimer County passed away this past week. I first met Sue and her husband Dick over 25 years ago. Sue was a passionate advocate for freedom who tirelessly promoted our country’s heritage and Biblical foundations. She and her husband planted many seeds of truth in Northern Colorado which have blossomed in the hearts of many of us who continue to fight the good fight. Their example has been a strong motivation for me to stay in the battle.
We will miss Sue, but God has taken her home and we rejoice that she has met her Savior. Our grief is not for her, it is our loss of such a dear saint. Pray for Dick and their family. A service is planned for Wednesday, February 4, 11:00 AM at Allnutt Funeral Home in Loveland.

3. Good News
4. Legislative Bills
5. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday
1. PKC – One Final Week
This is it! Thousands of people have been doing what they can to put three important issues on the 2026 ballot for Colorado. This coming week is the final big push to gather signatures. The actual deadline for submitting them is the middle of February, but because of all the logistics of collecting the petitions from around the state and organizing them for submission to the Secretary of State we must have them returned as soon as possible. Please, get those last signatures you can, get the petitions notarized and back to Protect Kids Colorado.
Thank you for all you and many other Colorado citizens from every corner of our state have done in these last few months. With God’s blessing and your hard work we trust these issues will be accepted for the 2026 ballot.
2. Tina Peters Assaulted
After the oral arguments for Tina’s appeal were presented last week and the governor called her sentence “harsh,” it finally looked like she was getting some hopeful news. Then she was assaulted by another inmate and the prison officials tried to blame her for the incident. Careful analysis of the video shows she didn’t start it and did all she could to end it. It looks to me like an attempted setup to keep her in prison.
For more in depth information on Tina’s situation click here, here and here. For related information on election integrity click here, here, here and here. As important as it is to simply have proper justice administered in Tina Peter’s case, we also need to keep up the pressure to fix the broken and corrupted election system for our nation, of which Tina has played a significant role in uncovering.
3. Good News
Ready for some good news? It is so easy to get caught up in the trials and tragedies that we miss the encouraging moments. Here are a few things I came across that bear repeating. Please enjoy!

4. Legislative Bills
Nine days into the session and 99 bills already introduced. The list of 16 bills I have highlighted has not changed from last week. More bills will come through in the next couple of weeks, but these first few days of session are mostly devoted to what are called smart hearings, which are reports from state agencies to the various committees of reference. The first week in February (just around the corner!) is when the committees of reference will start to work on the first bills.

4. Legislative Session Begins
5. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday
1. PKC – Final Big Push
This is the final big push all across Colorado. Dozens of additional churches are conducting signing Sundays, new volunteers and those who have been working for months are looking for final opportunities to gather additional signatures among friends and neighbors. Special events are generating a flurry of action and the somewhat mild weather is also working in our favor.
Here is an interview I and Erin had with Lance Wallnau a few weeks ago that covers a lot of ground in about 15 minutes.
And Protect Kids Colorado is holding a very special event this coming Thursday in the Denver area.
Denver: Fair Play – Protecting Girls’ Sports in Colorado, 6-8pm
Fair Play: Protecting Girls’ Sports in Colorado at Curtis Ballroom at the Landmark.
Join us for an evening focused on fairness, safety, and opportunity for female athletes. As policies & practices continue to impact athletes, schools and communities, this event centers the voices of women and girls who are directly affected.
Hosted by Protect Kids Colorado, XX-XY Athletics, Catholic Vote, and Athletes for Action, the event features Tish Hyman, Jennifer Sey, and Megan Burke, alongside brave young female athletes courageously speaking out. *Special appearances by Riley Gaines ( taped message) and Victor Marx will add to an inspiring night of truth and action.
2. Tina Peters Appeal
Tina still sits in a Colorado prison, but finally she is getting some traction with the court system. Her appeal was heard this week and the three judges seemed to question the severity of her sentencing. Outside of the Rocky Mountain Voice it is hard to find an objective report on the hearing, but here is another story that gives some balance in their reporting.
3. A Really Bad Bill Not in Colorado – Yet
Colorado isn’t the only problem state in the Union. Here is a bill from Virginia that shows how desperate the Left is to preserve their narratives.
4. Legislative Session Begins
Looks like another year to hold on to your wallet and keep your kids close. Here is a report Erin Lee posted on what I am calling Son of 1312, the infamous bill from last year that was designed to take away kids from parents who will not affirm transing their kids. That bill is a part of my bad bill list. I also created another category this year, the nanny bill list. These are bills that are not as consequential as some of the other bills, but examples of attempts to control and regulate in areas that government does not belong. The first to qualify this year is a bill banning pet stores from selling cats and dogs.
Finally, not on the good or bad list is one really big bill (ten billion dollars big). SB26-023 the School Finance Act. By my memory it is always introduced much later in the session, after most of the rest of the budget is sorted out. For some reason they decided to introduce it on day one. Maybe they figure it had better be appropriated before the knives come out, slashing everything else in next year’s budget…
Good bills
Second Amendment Protection Act
Title says it all. This bill would repeal many of the Colorado laws that limits our Second Amendment rights.
Expand Deduction for Retirement Benefit
Tax reductions are almost always good steps in the right direction.
Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday
Nuff said…
Challenges Meeting 2030 Emissions Reduction Goals sort of good bill
A mild pushback against shutting down all coal fired plants by 2030.
State & Local Unmanned Aircraft Regulation
Keeps local governments out of regulating drones.
Parental Equality & Child Empowerment Act
Encourages equal parenting time for parents.
Bad bills
Worker Protection Collective Bargaining
This bill would break the balance Colorado has had for many years between a right to work state and a unionized state. Even Polis had to veto a similar bill last year. We shall see if he is consistent this year.
Data Center & Utility Modernization
This encourages data centers, but it only gives the tax breaks to union shops, hence it makes the bad bill list.
Protections for Worker Safety
Anti-Trump deregulations. This bill looks to be intended to stop Trump administration attempts to ease off on federal regulations.
Expand List of Petitioners for Protection Order
Expands red flag laws with additional entities who can file these secret reports to have guns confiscated without the owner being notified of the court proceeding.
Rights Violation in Immigration Enforcement Remedy
Anti-ICE bill creates a path for personal lawsuits against ICE officers or those who cooperate with Ice.
Mental Health Access
Creates a fee (tax) on internet provider services for mental health services. This new enterprise would tax just about everyone in the state without a vote from the people. It is a clear violation of TABOR.
Legal Protections for Dignity of Minors
Makes changing a minor’s name (transing) secret in court public documents and if a parent is not supportive of transing the child the court is to use that criteria to restrict or remove the parent’s access to the child.
Nanny bills
Transfers of Certain Pet Animals
Banning all pet stores from selling cats and dogs.
Consumer Protections to Promote Fair Market Pricing
Puts the government in charge of retail prices in many stores across the state.

Special Report:
Protect Kids Colorado issued the following press release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Protect Kids Colorado Reports Signature Milestone for 2026 Ballot Initiatives
Today Protect Kids Colorado has notified the Colorado Secretary of State that, to the best of the
organization’s knowledge, the three citizen-led initiatives have surpassed 75% of the
signatures required to qualify for the 2026 statewide ballot.
The initiatives seek to:
• Protect children from irreversible sex-rejecting surgeries (#110)
• Preserve safety & fairness in girls’ sports (#109)
• Increase criminal penalties for child sex trafficking (#108)
The notification fulfills a new requirement enacted by the Colorado Legislature in 2025
under HB25-1327.
This milestone reflects the tireless efforts of thousands of volunteers from across
Colorado who have dedicated their time and energy to this grassroots campaign.
Kevin Lundberg, Chairman of the Board of Protect Kids Colorado, said: “I have never seen
this level of dedication and enthusiasm from citizens across Colorado. These are critically
important issues that deserve to be addressed by the voters. With only a few weeks
remaining, I urge everyone who cares about the well-being of Colorado’s children to get
involved and help us finish strong.”
Erin Lee, Executive Director, added: “We have an outstanding team that has already
accomplished so much, but qualifying these initiatives for the 2026 ballot will require a
strong final push. Every signature and every volunteer matters.”
Protect Kids Colorado is now in its final signature-gathering phase, mobilizing citizens
statewide to exercise their constitutional right “to propose laws… independent of the
general assembly,” as guaranteed in Article V, Section 1 of the Colorado Constitution.

And, here is a special PKC event this Wednesday afternoon at Colorado Christian University.
January 10, 2026
1. PKC – Down to the Wire
2. The Lion Attack
3. White House Report on J6
4. Uprisings Around the World
5. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday
1. PKC – Down to the Wire
The clock is ticking, with only a few short weeks left. Protect Kids Colorado is engaging in the final big push all across Colorado. We are ramping up signature collecting at the Stock Show. Dozens of additional churches are conducting signing Sundays, new volunteers and those who have been working for months are looking for final opportunities to gather additional signatures among friends and neighbors. The media is paying more attention to our efforts – some supportive, some not so much.
If you have been wondering if this is your time to kick in, now is the time. Go to protectkidscolorado.org and sign up and send in some funds to help in this final leg of our race to collect enough signatures to make the ballot. Currently it is close, but we are not there yet. Join the team and help us get this done!
In a related story, Next Tuesday, January 13, the Supreme Court will hear arguments on protecting women in sports. Here is a video that Jennifer Sey, PKC’s spokesperson for our women’s sports initiative, produced for this historic hearing.
I promised to keep you posted on where we are at. However, today I am holding off for a special milestone we will announce on Monday. Stay tuned…
2. The Lion Attack
Kristen Kovatch was recently killed by mountain lions in the Glen Haven area, near Estes Park. Sean Paige had these observations on how this has now become too much of a cruel reality in the Colorado Mountains.
3. White House Report on J6
The White House just released a significant report on the fifth anniversary of January 6, 2021. It sets a lot of the facts straight for all to see on the President’s official website. And, here is more information on the ever building evidence of the election fraud that precipitated J6.
4. Uprisings Around the World
President Trump’s work to make America great again has sent shock waves across the globe. And, as I see it, he is reigniting a sense of hope for freedom and prosperity among people in many nations. In Iran unrest with their current regime is exploding in the streets of their cities. In the Canadian Province of Alberta there is growing, serious talk of breaking away from Ottawa. And after Trump arrested Venezuela’s Maduro, their citizens celebrated the possibility of renewed prosperity and freedom. There are certainly many factors driving these events, but I speculate that, with Trump’s example of not putting up with the liberal mindset of authoritarian control and economic malaise there is more focus on throwing off the shackles of many governments. 2026 is looking like a very interesting year.

The first quarter of the twenty first century is now behind us and the challenges ahead have never been greater. Nor have the opportunities been more abundant. As you read the 2026 editions of the Lundberg Report never forget God’s tremendous blessings we enjoy and the immense responsibilities he has entrusted with us to be salt and light in the darkest corners of our world.
BREAKING NEWS REPORTING AT 4:57 AM, THE US HAS ARRESTED MADURO CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS.
1. PKC Campaign Update – 70% There
2. Tina Peters Update
3. Is it Big Brother or Proper Police Practice?
4. Stossel on Socialism
5. Breakfast Club Zoom Call is Every Monday
First the bad news.
As I reported last week, Colorado’s attorney general and gubernatorial candidate has doubled down on his support for child mutilating surgeries. And Franklin Graham had this to say about the Transgender agenda: “This is sick. If it turns your stomach, beware. It seems that most Democrats in Washington are buying into these lies. With many, it’s not about what is right or wrong, it’s about power—and they will sell their souls for power.”
This battle is real and that is why Protect Kids Colorado is in the final weeks of a significant fight to stop the transgender plague in Colorado. By our best estimates, judging from the petitions already turned in and those still being carried by citizen volunteers across the state, we already have around 70% of the signatures needed to make the 2026 ballot. Here is our current total of the petitions already processed in our accounting system (with about as many already notarized and turned in but not yet processed):
We are on the way but we need your help to finish this marathon drive to collect enough signatures by the end of January. If your church has not held a signature drive on at least two Sundays, please line this up right now. If you haven’t yet filled up your petitions and turned them in, get it done now. Please don’t wait until the last minute. Take action now. Go to ProtectKidsColorado.org for details.

2. Tina Peters Update
It sounds melodramatic to say it out loud, but the cruel reality is that Tina Peters is being held as a political prisoner in a Colorado prison. When the judge sentenced her (see link below) he admitted he was throwing the book at her because he wanted to prevent her from being able to publicly speak about election fraud. Sure, he called them dangerous lies, but that was after he refused to allow her to tell the jury in open court her side of the story.
But ultimately the judge could not stop the truth. Tina Peters has become a national symbol of the tyrannical tactics of those who refuse to disclose the inner workings of the election system they have developed that manages our votes. What are they hiding?
Tina got perilously close to the truth and they have done everything they can to silence her. Yet everything they do seems to amplify her message. I continue to report on this as it is so much more than a personal story about Tina Peters. Our election system must be accurate and transparent. Currently it is neither, but more and more is coming out that may eventually yield both.
Here is the outrageous diatribe the judge gave when issuing Tina’s sentence. (listen to the embeded video)
Here is Tina’s latest message, addressed to President Trump, which gives an accurate picture of her motivations.
Here is more evidence that our elections are seriously in need of reform.
3. Is it Big Brother or Proper Police Practice?
I recently reported on the use of “flock” cameras in cities to monitor citizen activities, especially when coupled with AI surveillance. They can become a potential violation of Fourth Amendment privacy rights. Here is a story about the Denver Police using drones to follow citizens. The story presents the practice as a good thing that improves police activities. However, what they leave out is a drone can very easily violate Fourth Amendment privacy standards when it comes to looking over privacy fences into private properties. I bring this to your attention because we are falling into a trap where “big brother” is becoming an accepted reality rather than recognizing these government activities need strict controls.
4. Stossel on Socialism
With self proclaimed socialists being sworn in as mayors of New York and Seattle, here is a good reminder from John Stossel on what socialism really means and how it is not the solution, it is the problem.
