The Last Imperative Step to a Tax Cut
I have good news and bad news. The good news is that our income tax cut, Proposition 116, made the ballot and the opposing progressive tax hike did not. The bad news is that our success has ignited a fury from big government Progressives, and they’re using every weapon at their disposal to ensure our failure on the […]
Why Jon’s taking legal action against his son’s school
As my friend and former U.S. Representative Bob Schaffer says, no taxation without education. Pardon the highly personal nature of this note, but I’m hoping you can help me reach other parents of disabled children to let them know that I’m taking legal action against Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) in hope of restoring my son’s […]
Read Jon in the NEW Denver Gazette!
I used to write a weekly column for the once-monolithic Denver Post. However, my politically incorrect views and the non-victim-centered words I use on paper and in-person were a problem for the Post. When I wrote that there are only two sexes, male and female, that was the last straw. Even though I was their most-read columnist, […]
Independence Institute offices robbed!
Our offices were broken into over the weekend. A great deal of equipment was stolen, a fair amount of damage done. All of us here feel violated. And we all, myself especially, feel we didn’t do enough to protect our Freedom Embassy, the hub of the center-right movement in Colorado. But the fault is not […]
Help Energize our Economy with a Tax Cut!
This week, we at Independence started a petition drive for a very big idea in the form of a tiny, little tax cut. Why? We must energize our economy. And in order to do that people need to be able to use more of their own money. It’s time to lower taxes and get people […]
When Drinking Good Wine is Illegal, Only Outlaws….
Often the left has used this quote while chanting “dissent is patriotic,” as they burn flags and lay down in middle of streets. By contrast, real civil disobedience today is opening your business, hiring people, and paying your taxes. One brave winery owner heeded the wise words of Jefferson and opened her business in defiance of government overreach. Forget the […]

An Evening with Grover Norquist
If you read my email earlier this week, you will know that I am pushing for an income tax rate reduction to be put on the ballot this fall, so individuals and businesses can keep more of their hard earned money away from the greedy hands of the government. So next week on Freedom on […]
Drink with George Brauchler! Tomorrow at 7pm
Join me tomorrow, April 28th at 7pm MT in our Studio B Bar as I drink with none other than outspoken District Attorney George Brauchler. Now that the state is reopening, but many cities and counties are not, I’ll ask George which women should be prosecuted for defying house arrest and crossing county boundaries to get their nails done. He is the […]
Join me, John Fund for Drinks Tonight at 7pm MT
So last week you and I were drinking with our friend and Trump adviser Steve Moore when he said he thought those protesting their governors to re-open their states were modern day Rosa Parks. That pissed off the command-and-control left and made national news. So what will our drinking partner tonight, John Fund, say? You […]
Two Drunk Johns are Better than One

So this Tuesday evening at 7:00 pm MT, we’re drinking with two of our favorite freedom fighters … John Fund and […]
