Garbo: An open letter to RINO Watch Colorado — my self-nomination

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice To the courageous, yet anonymous, arbiters of Republicanism at RINO Watch Colorado: I am writing to self-nominate to RINO Watch Colorado — not as a concession to any purity test, but as a challenge to this misguided and fruitless crusade. I do so as a strong grassroots conservative in Colorado, unwavering in my commitment to the U.S. Constitution, to limited government, to the fundamental liberties enshrined in our Bill of Rights, and to the preservation of the values that made this nation great. If believing that the Republican Party must grow stronger by educating, inspiring and persuading — not by shunning, purging and dividing — makes me a RINO, then I must self-nominate. As a Colorado native, I have lived, b...

Duffy: Gas or electric? Ballot issue keeps it your choice

By Sean Duffy | Commentary, Denver Gazette Why is a ban on gas stoves a front-burner issue for Colorado progressives? At the Capitol, and in blue bastions across the state, combating climate change is an overriding policy imperative, driving increased statutory and regulatory activity targeting numerous industries, including manufacturing, home building and, above all, energy. Ask business lobbyists from either party and they’ll uniformly express the concern that these measures are expensive, threaten family-sustaining jobs and hamper economic growth. The real-world threats from these efforts far outweigh any alleged incremental reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. For them, making Colorado a less-welcoming place to do business, pursue a career or simply live comfortably matter...

Kittle: Patel’s FBI could shine light on Nashville trans school shooter’s manifesto

By  M.D. Kittle | Commentary, The Federalist For those who believe politically weaponized justice is injustice, Pam Bondi running the Department of Justice and Kash Patel at the helm of the FBI feels like a warm spring breeze after a brutally cold winter. For those who turned federal law enforcement into the Stasi and cheered on the myriad abuses (I’m looking at you Schiff, you weasel), things are about to get, well, difficult.  There’s much to look forward to in the reckoning that Trump 2.0 is bringing to the people who transformed America’s DOJ into a banana republic. It’s long past time for accountability and, hopefully, justice served to the wicked.  Transparency is absolutely essential in that pursuit. Patel could go a long way on that front by ...

Hillman: Free state of Colorado? Not hardly, Gov. Polis

By Mark Hillman | Commentary, MarkHillman.com Colorado’s ruling progressive Democrats believe in equality under the law only in the sense, as in George Orwell’s Animal Farm, that some of us are “more equal than others.” Nothing illustrates this better than their current contortions related to gun policy and crime. On the one hand, progressives resist passing a law to increase penalties for stealing a firearm because, they say, it might result in too many “black or brown” men going to jail. Likewise, they don’t want to make it easier for law enforcement to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to deport illegal aliens who have committed violent crimes. Level heads might consider it a higher priority to protect law-abiding black and brown people who aspire to live ...

Fuller: The U.S. government’s war on fraud, waste and abuse

By Edward Fuller | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice The exploitation of U.S. tax dollars is an ever-present threat, imperiling the financial integrity and stability of the nation. On Feb. 12, 2025, four subject matter experts testified under oath before the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Congressional Subcommittee. Their testimonies shed light on the gravity and scale of fraud, waste and abuse perpetrated against American taxpayers. Mr. Haywood Talcove, a subject matter expert on fraud, waste and abuse, serves as the chief executive for government at LexisNexis. During his testimony, Mr. Talcove highlighted the alarming impact of outdated government systems and technology. He revealed that during the last pandemic, criminals exploited these vulnerabilities to ste...

Joondeph: Along with illegal immigrants, infectious diseases are crossing America’s border

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker For the past four years, our national borders have been as porous as a sieve, allowing thousands of illegal aliens to cross into America every day. Few are screened for criminal backgrounds, useful skills, intentions toward America, or infectious diseases. The criminal toll from invading gang members is significant, but not every border crosser is a thief, rapist, pedophile, or murderer. However, everyone crossing the border could be a carrier of an infectious disease -- a walking petri dish of bacteria and other microorganisms that may cause far greater problems than the criminal aliens.

Walcher: How many border guards do we need?

By Greg Walcher | Guest Commentary, GregWalcher.com Police have an unflattering nickname, “Permit Patty,” for someone who calls police over frivolous complaints. It originated when a woman called the police on a little girl selling lemonade at a streetside stand – as generations of kids have done – without a permit. It illustrates a commonsense truth, namely that not everything in life should require a permit, and not every infraction is a matter for the police. Most of us instinctively understand that, but the federal government never has. Virtually all government agencies operate from a top-down, command-and-control model that emphasizes enforcement over incentives. And most of them have a law enforcement division to make sure everyone complies with their edicts and rules. The fede...

Lundberg: Challenging the open primary system in Colorado

By Kevin Lundberg | Guest Columnist, Rocky Mountain Voice As chairman for the Colorado GOP lawsuit committee, following is an update on the progress of our case challenging the semi-open primary in federal court.  Our contention is that political parties, being a private organization, should not be required to allow non-party members to vote in that party’s elections, selecting their nominee for general elections. This legal standard was actually established by the U.S. Supreme Court in the Jones case in 2000. In 2021, the State Republican Central Committee unanimously approved a resolution calling for a legal challenge of Prop. 108. That ballot initiative was approved by a narrow majority vote in the 2016 general election and was first applied to primary elections in 2018. I...

Unleashed: The Wild West Comeback—How We Take Back Colorado

By Rocky Mountain Voice Staff Heidi Ganahl is back, and she’s on fire. In the latest episode of Unleashed, she dives into the urgent fight to restore freedom in Colorado—breaking down how grassroots activism, coalition-building, and an unapologetic commitment to conservative values will shape the future of our state. One of the biggest takeaways? The battle for Colorado isn’t just about the Republican Party—it’s about a liberty movement that puts principles before party politics. Heidi lays out how conservatives, libertarians, and independent-minded Coloradans can work together to push back against radical policies while bypassing the establishment's dysfunction. Frustrated by mainstream media spin, Heidi created Rocky Mountain Voice as Colorado’s home for independent conservative...

Devotional: Learning to trust God’s Armor in all aspects of your life

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice During my military career, while on a special task force, I needed to qualify in "high ropes" to master rappelling from skyscrapers, steep mountains or any necessary situation. The training was rigorous in Colorado's Rocky Mountains, especially since I feared heights. Upon our arrival for training, we were introduced to the life-saving tools we would rely on. Many skills were taught and refined during this demanding experience. One particular lesson stood out — whenever a student froze or panicked high in the air, the instructor would shout confidently and with authority, “TRUST YOUR EQUIPMENT!” Most Christians are familiar with the Apostle Paul’s description of God’s Armor, referred to as “The Armor of God,” in his Letter to t...
