By RMV Contributor | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Elon Musk has exposed the grift of the politically-connected who abuse their access and offices to convert public dollars to private gain using tax-funded, non-governmental organizations (NGOs, typically non-profits). We have uncovered a local politician here in Colorado who appears to be doing this – and […]

State, Rocky Mountain Voice, Top Stories / March 27, 2025 / 75th Colorado Legislature, Health and Human services, Health care

A new bill moving through the Colorado General Assembly, HB25-1220, is drawing sharp criticism from holistic health practitioners and nutritionists, who argue it amounts to government overreach that could criminalize alternative health practices and limit consumer choice.

Hancock: Progressives set the stage, but Congressman Evans skipped the guillotine

By now, the script is all too familiar. A group of self-styled “concerned citizens” — usually bearing placards, hashtags, and an unshakable belief in their moral certitude — convenes a town hall. They claim to be opening a forum for “dialogue” with their congressional representative.

But the scene is less Lincoln-Douglas debate and more kangaroo court. Their goal? Not to converse but to corner. Not to listen, but to lambast. And when the lamb refuses to volunteer for the slaughter, the howling begins.

Such is the latest political scenario in the district of Congressman Gabe Evans, a conservative legislator whose greatest sin — according to local progressives — is winning an election in a democratic district and then voting according to the views of his constituency.

Did Grand Junction’s City Council enable a pay-to-play deal?

When the City of Grand Junction accepted a $3 million donation from Intermountain Health (St. Mary’s Hospital) in exchange for naming rights to its new Community Recreation Center (CRC), the deal looked like a win for the community. But behind that vote lies a contract process that critics say gave some bidders an unfair advantage — a deal many providers never had a fair shot at.

Tristan: Democrats are betting on fear to win back power

Commentary, Approved, National, Rocky Mountain Voice, Top Stories / March 25, 2025 / AOC, Bernie Sanders, Democrats, Fearmongering, Political Violence, Polls, Senate, U.S. Congress

Nearly all the plexiglass barriers have been removed from checkout lines in grocery stores. It is rare to find any of the 6-foot spaced markers that facilitated social distancing. And thankfully, toilet paper is back in full supply on store shelves. However, the fear of COVID lives on. Many people still wear masks – some even don gloves.

Profit or patients? The 340B fight that could close Colorado hospitals

If Senate Bill 25-071 fails, Julie Lonborg says her neighbor could end up driving from Lone Tree to Thornton just to pick up a single prescription. That’s not some theoretical what-if. It’s a glimpse into what hospital leaders say is already unfolding in Colorado, especially for patients in rural communities who depend on access to affordable medication through the federal 340B drug discount program.

Pastor Bob: For such a time as this, we must lift our voices

Approved, Commentary, National, Rocky Mountain Voice / March 24, 2025 / christianity, Devotional, First amendment, Politics

I have been asked: should Christians be involved in politics? Short answer — yes! Oh some may blurt out 2 Corinthians 6:16 in response: “What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God and they will be my people.’ Therefore, come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” This does not preclude us from voicing and practicing the way and will of God.

Devotional: Embracing new life through regeneration

Commentary, Approved, Rocky Mountain Voice / March 23, 2025 / Devotional, Drake Hunter

The Helmet of Salvation, an essential part of the spiritual armor described in Ephesians 6:10-18, is not merely an image to visualize. It symbolizes the protection and assurance we gain when we respond to God’s call for a new life—or a rebirth of reality—a new existence where we shed the old self and embrace a new reality that transforms our religious experiences into a deeper and more profound humanity in every aspect of life. The question is: will you answer the call?
