Fortunately, the July 16th shooting at the Colorado capitol left only the assailant dead.  What is unfortunate though is that Aaron Snyder, the gunman, was also a victim…to some mental illness that he had no bodyguards to protect him from.  Accounts from family and friends indicate warning signs that Snyder was mentally disturbed, [...]]]></description>

Aaron Snyder rented his tuxedo, expecting to be welcomed with open arms as the new monarch of Colorado.  Looking at the modern dynasty of Bushes and Clintons parading through the White House, he saw this as the time to bring about a new age for this state.  Fed up with the clear ineptitude [...]]]></description>

Al Gore’s Live Earth concerts covered the globe this weekend, promoting environmental awareness to millions.  The message was to stop climate change and reverse global warming.

One month ago, Governor Ritter signed and vetoed the last of the outstanding legislation from the 2007 Colorado General Assembly session. According to the Colorado Promise, Ritter’s campaign document, the creation of a New Energy Economy was the fourth highest on his priority list. How did the Governor’s administration fare in meeting its campaign promises? [...]]]></description>

CNN&#8217;s expose on transparency in House earmark requests revealed some startling responses, or lack thereof, from Colorado&#8217;s Congress members.  Of our seven Representatives, only Mark Udall responded with an immediate yes.  This is not surprising, considering the amount of transparency that Udall instills in his service.  His website alone reveals a wealth [...]]]></description>

The Justice Department&#8217;s recent call for the return to mandatory minimum sentencing in federal cases is a blatantly racist and unconstitutional move to appear tough on crime.  In U.S. v. Booker (2005), the Supreme Court ruled mandatory minimum sentences to be a violation of a defendant&#8217;s sixth amendment rights.  Although the ruling has [...]]]></description>

Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper&#8217;s Greenprint Denver Council released their recommendations to the mayor and the public last month on what Denver should do to reach the goal of reducing carbon emissions by 10% per capita relative to 1990 levels by 2012.

In 2002, the USDA moved to help consumers identify what what organic and what was not.  They set standards into place and ensured a uniform system so that consumers did not have to read through the bibliography of ingredients on every alleged organic product.
