A Broken System: The fight to protect our children from our own family courts

By Heidi Ganahl | Rocky Mountain Voice Colorado Parents and Grandparents, I have an important “to do" for you today (Thursday, Sept 5).  Can you come to the Ralph Carr Justice Center at 11am? It’s a critical opportunity to show up in a BIG way for mothers and children, rallying around one of the most important issues of our time, the protection of our children from abuse. One of my dear friends, Maralee McLean, is speaking about her daughter’s journey, her journey, and you won’t want to miss it. I met Maralee after I founded a non-profit called Moms Fight Back in 2013, to deal with the toughest issues we face as Moms, protecting our children from abuse, after my own daughter was sexually assaulted and treated horribly by our justice system.   Maralee sat with me...

Ganahl: Trump’s Got This

By Heidi Ganahl | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Conservatives have awakened to a new political landscape, and it's becoming clear that Trump is the leader they need to navigate through it. Kamala Harris, having avoided the rigorous process of a primary, has emerged seemingly unscathed and well-prepared. However, Trump's campaign is far from being blindsided. Instead, they are rallying with a renewed vigor, ready to showcase the stark differences between Harris's radical agenda and Trump's vision for America. Harris has closed the gap with Trump in some polls -- likely due to the sigh of relief of Democrats after dumping sickly Biden -- but this is only the beginning of the battle. Trump's supporters and campaign team are determined not to let this initial surge of Harris's popu...

Ganahl: A look at J.D. Vance, Trump’s vice-presidential candidate, a Marine veteran and first Millennial on a major-party ticket

By Heidi Ganahl | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice When former President Donald J. Trump announced U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, would be his vice-presidential running mate on the Republican Party's presidential ticket, it concluded months of speculation. He becomes one of the youngest vice-presidential candidates in the history of the United States, and he's also the Millennial generation's first candidate to appear on a major-party ticket. Born on Aug. 2, 1984, Vance, 39, has crafted a compelling narrative through his life experiences and political stances. Raised protestant, he converted to catholicism in August 2019. Vance is married to Usha Chilukuri Vance, whom he met at Yale Law School. They married in 2014 and have three children: Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel. Usha, a corporat...

Ganahl: Is Colorado Gov. Jared Polis’s emergency declaration a public health measure or political maneuver for the White House?

By HEIDI GANAHL | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice When Gov. Jared Polis declared a state of disaster in Colorado because of a surge in Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), known commonly as bird flu, it ignited both a mix of public concern and political debate. The move is, in the legal term prima facie "on appearance", aimed at mitigating the spread of the virus, but critics argue that it may also serve as a calculated political strategy. The timing is suspect. Jared Polis would like to be president if Joe Biden drops out of the race. Bird flu is a highly infectious disease that affects both wild and domestic birds. Colorado reported its first cases in wild birds in March 2022, followed by detections in domestic poultry in April. Since then, the virus has been identifi...

Ganahl: Free speech is not the enemy of progress

By Heidi Ganahl, Rocky Mountain Voice Commentary On Wednesday, Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed Senate Bill 24-084 into law, effectively creating what some might call the state’s own Ministry of Truth. The bill, supposedly aimed at preventing the spread of misinformation and disinformation, establishes a partnership between the state attorney general and the Education Department. It's designed to reduce "factually inaccurate data" and "encourage respectful discourse." Despite the Biden administration’s failure to establish a similar federal agency, those who wish to use government power to control what constitutes fake news and truth seem undeterred. Proponents of the bill, of course, assure us that it’s not about suppressing viewpoints. State Sen. Lisa Cutter, a Democrat, ins...

Unleashed with Heidi Ganahl: Meeting Homelessness with Hope

By Heidi Ganahl | Unleashed with Heidi Ganahl >> LISTEN TO FULL EPISODE HERE << Today we confront Denver's worsening homelessness crisis head-on. Despite a staggering $274 million investment from 2021 to 2024, the situation has only deteriorated, sparking outrage and demanding accountability. This funding has largely been channeled into emergency shelter beds and temporary transition services, strategies that have proven insufficient in addressing the complexities of homelessness. As a result, Denver has seen the largest increase in homeless populations compared to other metro areas since 2018, indicating that these efforts have fallen short of their goals. This episode will not shy away from the controversy. Joining us is Vanessa from Citizens for a Safe and Clean Denver to...

Ganahl: On Mother’s Day, we pause to honor women who make a difference every day

By Heidi Ganahl | Rocky Mountain Voice Today, kids across the country made handmade cards, cooked up a breakfast in bed and tried to tiptoe around the house to let their precious mommas get a bit more sleep. It’s the day of the year we celebrate the hard-working, loving, ever-giving matriarch of the family: Mother’s Day! Moms have been in the eye of the storm the last few years, navigating the upheaval in our lives from the aftermath of Covid, managing slim budgets because of inflation and helping our children facing mental health issues at record rates. Moms have also been a force to be reckoned with politically, fiercely advocating for our kids around education, healthcare, woke craziness and a society that doesn't want us parents in control. The women of Colorado are recognizin...

The Last Gasp of the Liberal Colorado Press

By Heidi Ganahl | Rocky Mountain Voice Gov. Jared Polis and his cronies are very mad that a real newsman is doing the job they refuse to do.  We started Rocky Mountain Voice to report factual, real news, to allow Coloradans to have the knowledge to make better decisions -- in government and culture, all in one place.  We thought they’d eventually be scared of us, but we didn’t realize the establishment media would be quaking in their boots within the first two months! We are building trust through truth, inspiring the next generation of Colorado, always pro-citizen, pro-liberty, and pro-Colorado, and always honoring our heritage of rugged individualism. The Rocky Mountain Voice will share news from other reliable conservative voices in Colorado, as well as our own original ...

Plea deal gives former producer at Sounds True lenient sentence for possession of 6,000 images of sexual child abuse

By Heidi Ganahl | Rocky Mountain Voice Mitchell Clute, 57, a former senior producer and editor at Sounds True, has agreed to a plea deal, according to various media reports, on charges of possessing and distributing child sexual abuse material. He was arrested in July, following an investigation by the Boulder County Digital Forensics Lab, which discovered child sexual abuse material downloaded from an IP address associated with Clute's residence on Dewey Avenue. Initially facing 11 felony charges, including sexual exploitation of a child, Clute accepted a very lenient plea deal last week, pleading guilty to two counts of sexual exploitation of a child, both class 4 felonies. The remaining charges were dismissed as part of the agreement. The sentencing, on March 8, saw Clute re...

Announcing the launch of new Colorado media platform: The Rocky Mountain Voice

CENTENNIAL, Colo. - Colorado is at a pivotal moment in time. It’s never been more critical than now to get real, unbiased news from a reliable source. Especially for conservatives. Many Coloradans don’t know the truth thanks to one-sided media and messaging, and few platforms for conservatives to get out their message. “The Rocky Mountain Voice is launching to ensure that the citizens of the Centennial state can be well informed and effectively engaged, and that 'the other side of the story' is told,” said Founder and President Heidi Ganahl. The Rocky Mountain Voice will build trust through the truth, inspire the next generation of Coloradans, always be pro-citizen, pro-liberty, pro-Colorado and honor our heritage of rugged individualism. Ganahl added: “We will not partici...
