Don Jr. helps launch American Rights Alliance to fight for Tina Peters

Gateway Pundit, Approved, National / / , , , , , , ,

Few names evoke as much passion—and as much injustice—as Tina Peters.

She is a Gold Star Mother, a cancer survivor, and a whistleblower whose only crime was fulfilling her oath. As the duly elected Clerk of Mesa County, Colorado, Tina uncovered what she believed were unlawful alterations and software deletions in her county’s election system. Her response wasn’t partisan—it was principled: preserve the records, protect the truth, and serve the people.

But the system she served didn’t protect her. It came after her like an angry mob.

Arrested. Raided. Vilified. Silenced.

Montrose Commissioner Pond: The Constitution isn’t a suggestion—it’s a line in the sand

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, Commentary, State, Top Stories / / , , , , , , , , ,

Something is happening in Colorado. You can feel it.

Not on the surface, but beneath it. Beneath the silence. Beneath the carefully packaged language of equity, sustainability, and progress. We are being conditioned. Slowly, quietly, and deliberately.

Conditioned to comply. Conditioned to accept change without question. Conditioned to believe that liberty is negotiable, that tradition is outdated, and that resistance is somehow wrong.

But here’s the truth they don’t want you to hear.

The Constitution doesn’t need to evolve. It needs to be defended.

Hunt: Governor signs laws advancing trans agenda, sparking constitutional challenge

TownHall.com, Approved, Commentary, State / / , , , , , , , , , , ,

Just as a refreshing wave of reality-based, commonsense policy seems to be sweeping the nation, Colorado lawmakers are doubling down on “trans” policies that can only be described as absurd, unconscionable and unconstitutional.

For those of us in Colorado who still believe in parental rights and free speech, the speed at which our state is descending into a dystopian nightmare is terrifying.

Here in Colorado, transactivists control the State House, the Senate, and the governor’s seat. Whatever they want to do, however far they want to push the envelope, they can, and they did this legislative cycle. Some of the bills are so radical that even California’s governor refused to sign similar legislation.

Bent County declares Second Amendment Sanctuary, defies SB25-003

An eastern Colorado county has passed a resolution declaring itself a “Second Amendment Sanctuary” in opposition to a bill passed by the legislature this year that requires individuals to participate in safety training to be eligible to purchase certain types of firearms.

On May 15, the Bent County Board of Commissioners and Bent County Sheriff unanimously passed a resolution declaring that no county resources will be used to enforce provisions of Senate Bill 003 that have not been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The COvid Chronicles May 8–15, 2020: C&C made headlines. Polis made an example. Colorado made up its mind.

The governor’s enforcers tried to make an example of C&C. Instead, they created a rallying cry.

In just seven days, Colorado witnessed threats, shutdowns, viral videos and a surge of defiance that no press conference could contain. Counties revolted, small towns reopened and sheriffs made it clear: the edicts had lost their teeth.

These are the COvid Chronicles for May 8-15, 2020…

The COvid Chronicles May 1–7, 2020: Seven days that set the stage for open rebellion

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, Commentary, State, Top Stories / / , , , , , ,

May began just like April ended – edicts from above, fear from the press and politicians telling Coloradans to stay home, shut up and stay six feet apart. But by the first week of the month, cracks were showing. 

From Castle Rock to Colorado Springs, citizens, sheriffs and small-business owners weren’t waiting for permission. They had bills to pay, kids to raise and a Constitution they weren’t willing to quarantine.

Caldara: Time to see if Polis will choose his socialist friends or Colorado’s future

denvergazette.com, Approved, Commentary, State / / , , , , , ,

There are only three jobs worth having in Colorado. The first is fortunately mine.

Any person who can make a living by indulging his passion is beyond blessed. I somehow have provided for my family by fighting for personal and economic freedom in Colorado. Running Independence Institute, Colorado’s machine to promote liberty principles over party, politicians and special interests, is a dream come true.

The next coolest job in Colorado is quarterback for the Denver Broncos, which, by the way, I would be totally awesome at.

The only other job I’d want here would be governor, the most influential and powerful gig for changing policy and shaping the state’s future.

DENVER (KDVR) — U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi was sent a formal letter on Monday urging a Department of Justice investigation into the state of Colorado’s gun laws, specifically citing a newly signed law that Second Amendment advocates have called an infringement on their rights.

The letter was sent by the Colorado State Shooting Association, which is the official state association of the National Rifle Association. The groups announced immediately after Gov. Jared Polis signed the bill into law that they would be filing a lawsuit against the measure.

What does it mean to defend the Constitution? Two commissioners say this is what it looks like. On April 16, the Montrose County Board of County Commissioners voted 2–1 to send a formal Request for Federal Intervention to former President Donald Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and the U.S. Supreme Court.

Self-defense on hold: House GOP announces letter to AG Bondi at capitol press conference

Top Stories, Approved, National, Rocky Mountain Voice, State / / , , , ,

A young woman in her twenties stood outside Rep. Scott Bottoms’ church recently and asked him for help—she needed a firearm. Not for sport. Not to make a point. For protection.

“She was worried, she was frightened… She had no way to protect herself,” Bottoms said during a House Republican press conference Wednesday. “She has to wait three days. She can’t even get her own firearm to protect herself.”

That delay, he argued, could be the difference between safety and tragedy.

It’s the kind of real-life scenario House Republicans say they had in mind when they gathered on the west steps of the Colorado State Capitol the morning of April 16 to speak out against SB25-003.
