Sen. Gary Hart: We need to elect Mark Udall to the United States Senate

Michael Ditto — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 12:58:43 EST

Gary Hart, U.S. Senator (Ret.) and former presidential candidate, sent this message out recently for U.S. Senate candidate Mark Udall from Colorado:

Dear Friend,

I am writing my fellow Coloradans who care about our country's future because the 2008 election may be the most important election in a generation. More than ever, we need wise and enlightened leadership in Congress and in the United States Senate, where we are just a few votes shy of the 60-votes necessary to reverse the disastrous course George W. Bush has set for America.

Rasmussen Reports Dispels Two Myths- Inevitability and a Two-Person Race

RDillon — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 12:41:32 EST

We all know that the MSM has been doing their best to make the nomination of Hillary Clinton inevitable. They have also been working overtime trying to convince Americans that our nomination is a two-person race. Well, as usual they are dead wrong. Neither of these ideas which have been presented as fact in newspapers and on T.V. news all over this country are true.

Student Newspaper Editors Curse for Freedom; a Free Speech Movement reborn

Jim Callahan — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 04:46:09 EDT

The editors of student newspapers in Colorado and Oregon are cursing for our freedom in support of of a student in Florida who dared question the legitimacy of this regime and call for impeachment. How does their cursing compare to the obscenities of this administration?

The independent student newspaper at the University of Oregon, THE DAILY EMERALD explained the four word headline of its editorial, that included a four letter word:

Desperate times call for desperate measures, however, which makes this a perfect moment for a strong statement in support of free speech.

Our bold text is in response to another strong statement, one from the editorial board of the Rocky Mountain Collegian, the student newspaper at Colorado State University. Their statement was written in response to the Sept. 17 Tasing of Andrew Meyer, a student at the University of Florida, during a question-and-answer session with Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry.

CO CD-4: Paccione Bows Out - Inspirational Candidate Leaves a Void

RalphT — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 13:42:13 EDT

The 2008 Democratic race in Colorado Congressional District 4 (CD-4) has narrowed, and lost a great deal of its luster. Yesterday, Wednesday September 26, Angie Paccione dropped out of the primary race with Betsy Markey and Eric Eidsness. Her announcement is in the extended text.

Pathways to Leadership appears to have gained Angie's undivided attention. I can't fault her for her decision, because it looks like my dream job also. But, it is yet to be seen if either Betsy or Eric can rise to Angie's level of voter support and volunteer dedication and enthusiasm.

Congressman Mark Udall Says Save the Roan Plateau!

Michael Ditto — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 15:04:44 EDT

I have some great news to share and a request to make for your help. I just passed through the House of Representatives with broad Democratic and Republican support, a package of common-sense proposals to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels and to increase our usage of clean, renewable energy.

For the first time ever, national energy policy will require all electric utilities to acquire 15% of their power from wind, solar, and other renewable energy sources by the year 2020. I sponsored or cosponsored important provisions in the energy bill that will provide funding for climate change research, surface owner protection, funding for research into carbon capture and storage, and protection of the Roan Plateau.

But the fight's only begun, and I need your help right away.

Denver Assassination Attempt, Breaking

Jay Hazen — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 02:33:03 EDT

Colorado Governor Bill Ritter survived an assassination attempt tonight. A would-be assassin in a tuxedo was stopped by the Governor's security detail after firing into the Governor's office in the Colorado State Capitol. Aaron Snyder, 33, was shot and killed by members of the Colorado State Patrol after refusing orders to drop his gun. Before his death, he announced, "I am the emperor, and I'm here to take over state government."

No one but the gunman was shot in the assassination attempt.

More after the jump...

Style WITH Substance

Coloradans for Obama — Sat, 10 Feb 2007 14:16:46 EST

Senator Obama's speech this morning gave us all another glimpse of the phenomenal charisma for which he has come to be known. Indeed, like most people who have followed his career, it was that same personal gravity which initially attracted us to him at the Democratic National Convention back in 2004. We were all privileged watch the genesis of a most improbable rise to national prominence. My respect and esteem for him began there and has never ceased.
