The Left’s double standard
This morning, Complete Colorado ran a compelling article by investigative reporter Sherrie Peif. The piece highlights Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s gross double standard when it comes to so-called “dark money” political spending.

Political Christmas Shopping
Wife calls hubby’s cell phone wondering where he is. He says, “You remember the jewelers we went into about 10 years ago where you fell in love with that diamond necklace? I couldn’t afford it at the time and said that one day I would get it for you?” Little tears start to flow down her […]
Our income tax cut makes the ballot!
Nothing better than an early Christmas present. I just received news that our flat-rate income tax cut has been certified for the 2022 ballot! After delivering more than 216,000 signatures, the Colorado Secretary of State’s office has certified that we have far more than the ~125,000 valid signatures required to certify it. That means next […]
The perfect gift for Faith Winter…
Well, the hangovers have all cleared and the red carpet has been rolled away from all the recent festivities around our coveted “Californian of the Year” awards. I haven’t seen Colorado party so much since the Broncos won the Super Bowl. (And yes, the Broncos used to go to Super Bowls. TVs were black-and-white then, […]
Hating on Dave Kopel
Man, they do so hate on Dave Kopel, Director of our Second Amendment Project! And it’s awesome. Dave was the target of a hit piece by the anti-Second Amendment “news” outlet The Trace. It leads with a truly boffo picture of Kopel looking extra manly in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Not quite as […]

About last night…
Did you have the same feeling I did watching the Colorado election results come in last night? Kind of that sense of waiting to see what the grade is on your school group project—knowing you did your part right, but worrying that everyone else screwed it up. 2021 Election Among the disappointments was the defeat […]
216,000 signatures delivered for tax cut
After spending the morning sobering up from our Floor Signing/Californian of the Year announcement the night before (Senator Faith Winter took home the big honor in case you missed Entertainment Tonight), we delivered 216,000 signatures last Friday to the Colorado Secretary of State Office for our income tax cut initiative. This is an exceptional achievement. […]
The 2021 Californian of the Year is…
At long last, the anticipation is over; we can breathe and give credit where credit is due. This year’s Californian of the Year award goes out to the brave Senator Faith Winter. Although she resides in the north Denver metro area, her heart is filled with visions of sunny beaches and the progressive utopia of the state where […]
