    1. can one of the global warming deniers that posts here put up the idiotic stock comment that, oh, it’s snowing today somewhere and that it must be that global warming, huh ?

      At least they recycle their ideas.

  1. When sailing on Long Island sound, we would fill our emptied soda bottles with water before sending to their graves.  Other people would just throw them overboard, often to float for days and damage boats.

    We thought we were so far ahead of the curve!

    Moral:  Time might show that your belief today is wrong later on.  

  2. Insurgent Campaigns Aren’t Just for People.

    They’re for Policy Too!

    A transit lifestyle is far more sustainable then our auto-centered culture.

    Best of all,  a transit lifestyle would be he perfect match with our quality-of-life culture in Colorado.

    (Note, Jerry Brown 1992 style pitch, to follow . . .)

    The RangerXpress ballot initiative — paperwork going in just under the wire — is leaving the station.

    The RangerXpress will create Passenger Rail in Colorado:

    • Running along the I-25 and I-70 corridors, coupled with service to Steamboat Springs

    • Run in nearly every type of weather, year round

    • Move “short-haul” freight in Colorado, keeping trucks off the road, cutting shipping costs within Colorado, and generating profit while doing so

    • Create 355,000 new jobs over 10 years

    • Create $ 34 billion increased business sales over 10 years

    This would have a 4/10 of one cent, 20 year, sales tax, and an authority to run the trains would be created.

  3. From Congressman Doug Lamborn:  

    Dear friends and supporters,

       I have long been a strong supporter of the delegate and assembly process in Colorado.  Besides voting to protect it in the Colorado legislature, I relied on it myself in 1994, 1996, 1998, 2002, and 2006.  In the first four cases I received top line on the ballot and in the last was a close second.  In all cases I was the winner in the following election.

        In this election I have decided to utilize the alternate approach to be placed on the ballot.  The quality required for the important process of electing a Congressman to represent us in Washington, D.C. has been lacking, primarily in El Paso County, this most populated county, in the Fifth Congressional District.

       I am not placing blame or casting aspersions on anyone’s motives.  In fact, some of the problems arose from the positive fact that six times the normal amount of Republicans showed up for the caucuses in February.  This overwhelmed the ability of the county party to adequately monitor and track delegate information, our own count showed me leading with those delegates we have been able to contact.

       Nevertheless, I have lost confidence that the various problems can be satisfactorily resolved by the date of the assembly and that the process in place is of the quality required for a Congressional election.  Many of my supporters have expressed this same concern.  While I am very willing to discuss these issues with those in responsibility so as to make improvements over the long term, I do not believe it would be constructive to air these concerns in the media.

       My decision to petition unto the ballot is strengthened by another unrelated fact.  House leadership has given no time in our schedule for all of April or May to be working in the District during the week, except for Memorial Day week.  This voting schedule in Washington makes it difficult to give the more than 600 delegates, plus an equal number of alternates, the personal time each deserves.  Mailings and phone calls are helpful, but the one-on-one meetings that are the best, and that 1,200 delegates and alternates should have, are not easy to arrange during the remaining weekends.

       Anyone with questions or concerns is welcome as always to contact me or my campaign.  I look forward to using the delegate and assembly process in the future after this unique election is over.  I also look forward to continuing to represent the people of the Fifth Congressional District with conservative leadership and Republican values.  Thank you.

    Yours truly,

    Congressman Doug Lamborn
