Stop school shootings now
Just two weeks ago I wrote a column for the Denver Post lamenting that 20 years after the Columbine High School shooting our children are still unprotected at government schools. I was out of the country when I heard news of the STEM shooting. I saw the headline and I instantly knew the story without […]
Coloradans are fighting back
Having grown up in this once liberty-loving state I am struggling with the speed at which our lawmakers are turning us into Venezuela. But I am encouraged by the organic battles that are springing up around Colorado to fight back. And Independence is helping. The passage of SB-181 is a direct attack on the oil […]
Stop the National Popular Vote
Governor Polis has signed into law Colorado’s participation in the National Popular Vote Inner-State Compact. If just a few more states join the compact then Colorado’s presidential electors will vote not how Colorado voters instruct them, but how California and New York voters tell them to. We’ve done quite a bit of work explaining why […]
Couldn’t they at least fake a little respect?
I keep finding myself asking the same question – what happened to the good liberals? You know, the ones that would constantly say the ends don’t justify the means, a person is innocent until proven guilty, and the process matters. There are no such liberals in Colorado state government. Colorado is experiencing a violent lurch […]

How to save lives and win a gun
While talking heads droned on about how they want to end gun violence and stop school shootings, we at the Independence Institute did what we always do. We took action. Now it’s your turn to take action by winning a new Glock pistol (5th gen) for only $25. No, really. Read on. Colorado law allows armed […]
The real AOC wins
As I mentioned to you yesterday our own Amy Oliver Cooke, the real AOC, and her Spirit of Colorado team were up for a national award for their powerful messaging to Hispanic voters in Colorado over the dangers of last November’s fracking ban, Prop 112. Our Spirit of Colorado team just won the Reed Award […]
Delegation power baby!
I understand the concept of delegation. I delegate all important decisions, meetings, and responsibilities to our Executive V.P. Amy Cooke so I can focus my limited office time on Glenlivet and Fortnite. The system works. But what I don’t quite understand is why Colorado’s leaders want to delegate so much decision making power to people […]
Not in jail yet, but getting ready
First a quick personal update. I can’t believe the amazing support I’m receiving while I refuse to comply with Boulder’s new, hateful gun ban. My hometown for so many decades, you know, the town that wears its “tolerance” on its sleeves, has decided it doesn’t want my type in their lily-white town. My type being […]
VIDEO: Boulder’s Gun Ban UPDATE, Crowdfunding Campaign Launched
Here’s an update on how things are going with my ongoing resistance to Boulder’s hateful, bigoted gun ban. In the video below, I share some of the “tolerant” feedback I’ve gotten from the first video, where I explained why I’m going public and will not comply with the Boulder gun ban. If you’d like to […]
I became a criminal on January 1st.
So, on January 1st I became a criminal in my hometown of Boulder, Colorado. What did I do? Absolutely nothing. The town that advertises its tolerance and acceptance of alternative lifestyles with billboards and fanfare passed what they think is an assault weapons ban. Not only can I no longer purchase many of the most common […]
And the Californian of the Year is…
We at the Independence Institute are committed to protecting our Colorado Culture, where we crave the freedom to make our own decisions. Those who vie for Californian of the Year believe in the Californian Control of demanding to make decisions for others. First, a big round of applause please for all of this year’s nominees. […]
