Devotional: Putting on the armor of belief, truth and trust as leaders

By Drake Hunter | Devotional, Rocky Mountain Voice Leadership is a calling each of us lives out, whether consciously or not. Every choice we make and every step we take reflects our internal compass and reveals what we value. Leadership isn’t about titles or offices; it’s about influence guided by belief, truth and trust. The Apostle Paul reminds us in Ephesians 6:10-18 that true leadership is rooted in spiritual readiness, equipped with the full Armor of God. Our beliefs are the foundation of leadership. They shape how we view the world and influence the decisions we make. Paul describes the Belt of Truth as an essential piece of the Armor of God, saying, “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist” (Ephesians 6:14). The Belt of Truth grounds us in God’s re...

Gaines: A legislative directory to reach anyone in the 75th session

By Cory Gaines | Commentary, Colorado Accountability Project A reader was kind enough to make a directory of legislators in an Excel Spreadsheet. It's linked below and feel free to make a local copy (and share). Sheet 1 is senators, sheet 2 is representatives. It lists phones, emails, committee memberships, party affiliation, and district. The other quite helpful thing here is that you can copy and paste the emails. I have more than once used this spreadsheet to email every. single. legislator. It's even got some "hidden tabs" with voting machine passwords!** A great big thanks to the person — what must have been a lot of time to produce this and share it! **It doesn't. I don't have the kind of political juice to avoid any sort of legal entanglement that comes with tha...

Caldara: Prying open secretive government at the ballot box

By Jon Caldara | Commentary, Complete Colorado Hubris? Arrogance? Disdain? Contempt? What word describes the attitude of the Colorado legislature toward those who elected them? What explains their actions? Longtime political strategist Eric Sonderman described it to me in three simple words: “Because we can.” How can Sen. Chris Hansen run for re-election knowing that as soon as he wins, he’ll resign to take a $500,000 per-year crony job at a power utility? Well, because he can. How can the governor, who campaigned promising to massively cut special interest tax breaks, instead create an avalanche of new ones, enough to drain the budget of all TABOR surplus money? Again, because he can. READ THE FULL STORY AT COMPLETE COLORADO Editor’s note: Opinion...

Ganahl: A response to Gov. Polis’ State of the State address

By Heidi Ganahl | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Note: The following is a loose translation of Heidi Ganahl's response to Gov. Jared Polis' State of the State address Thursday to members of the 75th legislature. Hi there it’s  Heidi Ganahl, and today I’m here to set the record straight on Governor Polis’ rosy vision for Colorado. While his speech may sound polished, it paints a very different picture than the reality Coloradans are facing every day. Let’s talk about the challenges that weren’t mentioned — or were glossed over. 1. Economic and infrastructure failures: Governor Polis likes to tout Colorado as a land of opportunity, but for many, it’s become a land of unaffordability. Seniors on fixed incomes are being driven out, families can barely afford groceries, and vehi...

Garbo: Zuckerberg ends ‘fact-checking’ in quiet admission of guilt, but fails to acknowledge Facebook’s assault on free speech

By C. J. Garbo Mark Zuckerberg’s recent announcement that Meta is ending its controversial ‘fact-checking’ program in favor of a ‘community notes’ system marks a subtle, but unmistakable, admission of failure. While Zuckerberg frames this decision as a return to Facebook’s roots of free expression, it is far more than a cultural shift — it is an indictment of years spent suppressing speech, silencing dissent, and betraying the fundamental principles of open dialogue that Facebook was founded upon. When Zuckerberg speaks of “getting back to our roots,” it is soft, carefully curated language designed to sidestep accountability. The reality is far harsher. Facebook didn’t merely stray from its roots; it became a willing enforcer of censorship, bowing to pressure from govern...

Letters: Media should have allowed Jimmy Carter’s funeral to air uninterrupted

The coverage of the funeral of President Jimmy Carter is another example of the disconnect between Big Media and the audience.  Who tunes in to watch such moments in history?  What do they expect to see and hear? Tuning in at random to CBS, the service began and, after some speakers, the service continued, with music including very moving performances from the Navy Choir.  Unfortunately, if viewers continued to watch on most networks, the music and some other elements of the service were muted, so that the network correspondents could impress viewers with more of their pontification.  Did these networks honestly think most people tuned in to hear these discredited Fake News talking heads yammer on in the middle of Jimmy Carter’s funeral? Give credit where cr...

Powell: In Meta culture shift, Zuckerberg brings UFC president Dana White onto board

By Andrew Powell | Commentary, The Daily Caller It’s way too early to tell if we can ever trust the Zuck, but this is a good start. We’re all aware of who Mark Zuckerberg is, we’re all aware of what Facebook is, two names that we’ve all been screwed over by at least once ever since Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election. It didn’t matter if you were far to the right or just a little bit to the right, you’d get knocked for anything that went against the left-wing agenda. Facebook turned into a blatant echo chamber! But ever since Trump won the 2024 election — and honestly, you could say it’s been happening well before that — the culture has been shifting. And Monday brought us another example of that, as Zuckerberg has added three new members to the board of dire...

Rep. Gonzalez: Without TABOR, we would have higher taxes, little to no tax refunds, and unlimited government spending

By Rep. Ryan Gonzalez | Commentary, Complete Colorado In 1992, Colorado voters passed the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, or TABOR, the nation’s strongest tax limitation law to this day. For those who are unfamiliar what TABOR really does, this amendment to the Colorado Constitution allows government spending to reasonably increase using a formula of population growth plus inflation. Excess revenue, known as the “TABOR surplus,” must be refunded to taxpayers. If state government wants to keep the surplus, or raise taxes, voters must approve. That is exactly why progressives abhor TABOR. But the truth is, a little north of 60% of Colorado voters approve of TABOR. Many progressives have made their disdain for TABOR be known, having tried time and time again to chip away at TABOR’s...

Krannawitter: It’s time to abandon the old political paradigm of ‘left’ and ‘right’

By Dr. Thomas Krannawitter | Thomas Krannawitter Those of us in the United States who love freedom because we care about human flourishing face the daunting challenge of political and cultural reform. Doing that work well will require clarity in both thought and speech. One adjustment that can help us think better and speak more clearly is to abandon the old political paradigm of “left” and “right”—which has always been nebulous and ill-defined—and replace it with an “up” and “down” model, the top of which represents good citizenship and government protection of natural liberty and private property, while tyranny and total government control over slavish subjects are at the bottom.

Joondeph: Will Jan. 20 be another Independence Day, restoring freedom and liberty?

By Dr. Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, Rasmussen Reports Independence Day, celebrated on July 4 of every year, is a national holiday commemorating the ratification of the Declaration of Independence, which established the United States of America, gaining freedom from British subjugation and tyranny. A song of the same name was named Country Music Song of the Year in the mid-1990s, performed by Martina McBride, celebrating an abused woman’s freedom from a brutal husband. Will January 20 be yet another Independence Day for freedom-seeking Americans against an abusive and tyrannical federal government?
