You ain't the only one, brother!
yep...WOW!!!! I can't believe this is the same Colorado I used to respect and enjoy.
Yep x 2For the first time in my life I'm actually embarrassed to live here.![]()
don't be embarrassed for yourselves, guys -- maybe for the idiocy of others, but not for yourselves. Its not like you're part of some collective called "Colorado". Our government is not our society, and we are all individuals. If you make sound choices for the freedom of you and yours, you have nothing to be embarrassed about. Angry about, sure, but not embarrassed.
As a non-voting disenchanted citizen, I would say the opposite -- this shows you exactly what participation in a corrupt process gets you, a steaming cup of #$^&. I voted locally, and I voted some for state offices, but withdrew my consent from the national government. I may withdraw my consent on levels closer to home shortly.
Government draws it legitimacy from the consent of the governed -- T.J.
do not consent.
Vote third party, throw your vote away in style :gee:We're entitled to different opinions, Fred -- you think voting for the lesser of two evils is the right thing to do, I think it simply ensures that an evil douchebag wearing one color tie or another will steal your rights and property and expect you to thank him for it. My position is supported by the continued and expanding corruption and intrusiveness of government despite the best efforts of voters.
Five Senators Could Change Colorado's Future
Five Senators are Sitting on the Fence
Please Call and Email Them Now! We just received word from a very reliable source that there are five senators who could be convinced to vote no on the four insidious gun bills. PLEASE be polite; contact these senators with your best arguments. If you know people in these regions, please ask them to email, Facebook, Tweet, and call these folks as well.
The bills are in on the floor of the Senate today, February 20, 2013. The four bills are a gun-ban on college campuses (specifically conceal carry - 1226), a $10 tax on background checks (1228), outlawing of magazines over fifteen rounds (1224), and finally, but most dastardly, universal background checks (1229), or better know as gun registration.
The following are the five DEMOCRAT senators who could be convinced to vote against these bills:

Vote third party, throw your vote away in style :gee:
dude, I'm being sarcastic. I have voted third party in the last three presidential elections and don't really see myself voting for either major party next time around either - unless they do some serious soul searching.Sorry dude, that statement always gets me pissed. Nowhere in the constitution does it say 'thou shalt vote for one of two parties'. I voted third party all over the place this last election. Why? Because that's who I thought reflected my desires for government. Not me picking who I though was less of a turd. If enough people thought that too, then we'd actually see something different.
I got the following from some concerned friends, and you guys are usually pretty good at pestering representatives from other districts...
