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. They ride for Team Parker and […]

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 […]

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 […]
Our 5th Californian of the Year nominee is…

The Independence Institute is proud to announce its fifth of five nominations for 2018’s Californian of the Year. This coveted recognition goes to the Coloradan who best exemplifies the effort to change our once liberty-loving Colorado into the command-and-control state of California. We believe in the Colorado Culture where we crave the freedom to make […]
Missed it by THAT much

For those of us of a certain age, we remember Don Adams in the comedy “Get Smart.” His catchphrase was, “missed it by that much.” Well we missed our Colorado Gives Day goal by THAT much. We are still only about $8,000 away from our goal of $85,000. But, wow! That still matches what we […]
Colorado now California?

We have been warning that Colorado is being transformed into California for years. Tuesday’s elections will only speed the Californication of our once liberty-loving state. Colorado has for generations been a magnet for those who wish to write their own biography, to risk their wealth and talents, and to work in free association with others […]
Colorado or California, find out tomorrow

In one day we’ll know the future of Colorado politics: Four statewide offices, including governor, thirteen ballot issues, the state senate hanging by one vote, and one of the hottest US Congressional races in the country, the 6th. Will we take a step toward or away from becoming California? I’ll keep my predictions to myself […]
Choose your voter guide

“Daddy,” a little girl asked her father, “do all fairy tales begin with ‘Once upon a time’? ” “No, sweetheart,” he answered. “Most begin with ‘If I am elected.’” Since we like choice so much around here, I thought I’d offer you a buffet of great voter guides and election recommendations by some of the […]
The return of Mike Rosen

He’s back in print! We pulled radio host legend and columnist Mike Rosen off the golf course and hid his scotch until he agreed to join CompleteColorado.com as a regular columnist. His debut column is out today – Yes, I voted for Trump, and I’m glad I did. Visit CompleteColorado.com to see all the latest […]
