After ten years in the Colorado House of Representative (6yrs), and Senate (4 yrs), staying true to the strong patriotic, limited-government and conservative cultural principles on which I campaigned, found only one partially-true article by the Rocky Mountain and Denver Post journalist, Lynn Bartels. As the leftist-press consistently does, it takes a current issue and references an old issue that can be twisted like a pretzel to make the individual look bad. These journalists wallow in the muck that they actually create. Is there
That recent article can now be found here, and is totally misleading. Knowing how "journalists" attempt to incriminate strong conservatives, I wrote a rebuttal explaining the accurate scenario that prompted my vote and comments. Unfortunately Lynn Bartels, who I miscalculated in considering her a friendly reporter after nearly ten years, saw to it that the article was twisted far beyond recognition. You can read my explanation here .
I learned soon after my election to the Colorado House of Representatives that strong Republican conservatives are a point of serious contention, not only among the Democrats, but also with the party's leadership.
Colorado Times Recorder Journalist, better known as the LEFTIST "Furry," Heidi Beedle, shows himself, now referring to himself as "they," once again as an anti-American trash periodical writer.

Let's keep Government's hands out of our pocket.
IN 2020, Taxpayers approved tax rates on tobacco and nicotine products. The estimated income from the sales of these products exceeded the estimate by $23.65 million. NOW the state wants to use that to pay for the "FREE" pre-school programs with those funds.
MORAL statement: The Pre-K program is one more school program that is lessening the important traditional role of the mother reducing time she can spend nurturing her child. As Karl Marx was quoted: "The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without their mother's care shall be in state educations" Are we ready to encourage the mothers to give up their children at the early age of four so that they can receive government indoctrination beginning at that early age? The Colorado's Democrat Speaker of the House, Julie McCluskie thinks so.

It seems as if at every election cycle, voters are asked for excess funds to pay for roads, police and fire department issues. Why? It's because they are the most emotional issues that resonate with voters when, in fact, they should be among governments' first priorities. With the growing population in the city, more focus should be applied to having the developers pick up funds for police and fire protection and facilities. Until there is more attention to proper budgeting priorities, maybe taxpayers should hold their votes. Prioritizing never seriously happens until government has less taxpayer funds than it wants.

School District Ballot Issues
Before voting for increased taxes to support the public school system, consider these issues:
*************************************************************
School Board-Candidate Elections
I have personally spent a minimum of three hours with many of these school board candidates, assessing their dedication to making significant, positive changes to the public school system struggling with a multitude of issues. It is well past time for school board directors to focus on what parents expect to be taught to their children. School board directors must understand that they are working for the parents who trust their children to the public school districts.

Childhood innocence is a powerful political tool. By now (20 yrs. from 9/11) those youngsters are grown up. They have graduated from college, entered professions, begun corporate careers and become voters. Some are teachers. They bring with them into adult life the attitudes they have been carefully taught.
There is more than a single cause for the ruin of a nation. Still, historical ignorance and its harvest of disbelief in the rightness of this country (USA) -- generated in the classrooms -- is a powerful destroyer." The federalist.com
“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.” -- Martin Luther King, Jr.
If you haven't realized the importance of education the young, READ THIS:
“...the final conclusion would surely be that whereas other civilizations have been brought down by attacks of barbarians from without, ours had the unique distinction of training its own destroyers at its own educational institutions, and then providing them with facilities for propagating their destructive ideology far and wide, all at the public expense. Thus, did Western Man decide to abolish himself, creating his own boredom out of his own affluence, his own vulnerability out of his own strength, his own impotence out of his own erotomania, himself blowing the trumpet that brought the walls of his own city tumbling down, and having convinced himself that he was too numerous, labored with pill and scalpel and syringe to make himself fewer. Until at last, having educated himself into imbecility, and polluted and drugged himself into stupefaction, he keeled over--a weary, battered old brontosaurus--and became extinct.” ― Malcolm Muggeridge, Vintage Muggeridge: Religion and Society
The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next. -- Abraham Lincoln
