Independence Institute is proud to announce the first nominee for the coveted title of Californian of the Year is none other than Tay Anderson, the famed and talented Denver School Board member.

The Californian of the Year is the man, woman, non-binary, or gender-fluid person who has done the most to turn our once liberty-loving state of Colorado into the command and control, over-taxed, over-regulated, over-dependent, hypersensitive, politically correct, buzz-kill state of California.

Tay’s particular style for finding himself a victim of racism is unparalleled, even in this day of victim celebration. Whether it’s being racially profiled by the police, receptionists at the hospital, or the barista at Starbucks who innocently asked, “How would you like your coffee, black?” Mr. Anderson is there with megaphone in hand to bellow, “Help! Help! I’m being oppressed!”

Of course, that’s when he’s not busy dreaming up new fundraising schemes that have earned him criminal allegations, accusing his fellow DPS members of a “high-tech lynching,” or trying to explain how he isn’t actually sexually oppressing women and girls.

Join us as we announce the Californian of the Year winner at our Floor Signing Happy Hour next Thursday, 10/28. At this party, you can graffiti up the floors of our Freedom Embassy, much like the oh-so-California-like graffiti all over the city of Denver, before we install our new floors. Come and leave a surprise message for the next generation.

Stay tuned for the second nominee announcement soon!

Think Freedom!
