Which politicians deserve a lump of coal for Christmas?

After the most jarring, radical, leftist legislative session in Colorado history, we’re thinking some of Colorado’s elected official deserve a lump of coal in their Christmas stockings. And, with your help, we plan on giving it to them. Literally. National Popular Vote gives our electoral votes to New York and Los Angeles. The sham Red […]

Prop CC fails thanks to YOU!

As I’m watching the election returns tonight and delighting in Prop CC’s humiliating defeat, I wanted to thank you. Because of your partnership we were able to fight off yet another attack on our Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights. The word that keeps coming to my mind is “addition.” Politics is the art of addition. This […]

Don’t be like California

Don’t be like California! It’s time to rethink our century old centralized grid where government and monopoly utilities collude to politicize our power. As widespread wildfires and serious winds loom in the forecast over the next week, utility company PG&E was warned that they could face an enormous liability if they continue to keep peoples’ […]

A gun for $25?

Now it’s your turn to take action by winning a new Sig Sauer Concealed Carry Package for only $25. No, really. Read on. Colorado law […]

What some people do for attention

Office gossip: So our executive vice president, Amy Oliver Cooke (the original AOC), finally got shoulder surgery to repair the massive damage from a spill on her bicycle. She has to keep her arm completely immobilized for the next 6 weeks. This means she’s gimping around the office looking for sympathy with her arm glued […]

No refund for YOU!

What would you do if you bought a $15 item with a $20 bill and the cashier refused to give you back your $5 change? Imagine the store keeps your change every time. Well, that’s exactly what the State of Colorado wants to do. They call it Prop CC and it will be on your […]

Thanks for my latest legal trouble

I don’t understand how a conditional promise I made well over a year ago obligates me now. As you know the good folks of Independence help honor the memory of my late daughter Parker by raising money for Children’s Hospital via the Courage Classic bike ride over the Rockies.

Losing my daughter and keeping my son alive

Once a year I write a note like this one. I dread it. Using my daughter’s death to raise money seems so wrong. And I look forward to this note, because I get to talk about her again. And there is little a parent likes more than talking about their kids. It’s the time of […]

Make 9News’ Kyle Clark eat his words AND stop the National Popular Vote

We at Independence saw that online platforms were suppressing conservatives and libertarians, suspending their accounts and removing their content. We knew that conservatives needed a platform to raise money for their causes without fear of being kicked off. We created freedomfy.com, which is a crowdfunding platform for freedom-loving causes. Think of it as Go Fund […]
