Since it will be tough to find many people willing to object to the above statement, here’s the golden opportunity to align votes with campaign mailers (right). 
Proponents are careful to point out that goods produced in nations where the United States already has a free trade agreement in place would be considered domestic suppliers under this bill. Basically, it’s an evolved version of the “Buy American” bills we’ve seen in recent years, with previous stumbling blocks and dealbreakers removed.
But I can understand the frustration many legislators must have when you have parts of the state government like OIT that refuse to consider Colorado suppliers under any circumstances.
Pueblo friendly is right. Why the hell are we buying steel from China to build Fastracks when we have Rocky Mountain Steel down the highway?
Buy American!

buying American etc. I’ve been getting tons of e-mails about the rally at the Capitol tomorrow noon in support of the Wisconsin’s Union workers. Fact is, there isn’t a desperate budget crisis in Wisconsin. Wisconsin is in pretty good shape. This is just union busting pure and simple.
Whether you’re a big fan of unions or not, if you’re a Dem, these remaining big unions are the only source of big money that can compete with the sources on the right, especially since the Supremes let the corporations loose. That’s what this is about. That’s why the Gov refuses the unions’ offers to sacrifice on benefits and anything else that has to do with any budgeting issues and insists there will be no compromise on the end to the right to collective bargaining. In other words, nothing short of death to the unions will be enough.
You destroy these unions, you destroy any chance for Dems to compete against the GOP in funding and win enough elections to remain a political force. I hope the Denver Rally gets a good turn out. I know most people won’t be able to make it but I can so I’ll be there with a few friends, all of us small but loud. Besides, the whole world seems to be demonstrating. It’s making me antsy.
I’ve had pretty much enough of the Capitol for a few days, even if I didn’t have to go back to the 9-to-5 (or in my case more like 9:30-to-7 most days) tomorrow, but this cause is hugely important. Go Wisconsin!
More Cruelty to Animals bill!
It was an amazing day of coming together for the animal welfare community. So many uniformed ACOs were in the room telling their stories about saving animals from cruelty, neglect, and abandonment. I felt badly that applause doesn’t seem to be “what is done” in these hearings, because they deserved a round or three!
anything other than that the proponents were concerned that those who are cleared should have to pay expenses. I’m sure many readers were left wondering what the heck was wrong with the bill. But at least you stopped it.
They made the bill sound pretty awesome, too. Not at all like the actual legislation. I have to wonder if their reporter had mentally checked out after all day at the Capitol.
Fox News actually reported it in a very even-handed way, in text and on video.
Bigger local audience.
