COLORADO DEMS TRY TO ENFORCE NEWSPEAK AT THE CAPITOL By giving Republicans a list of words they can't use when talking about immigration. Including "illegal alien" which has been used historically for over a century to speak of people who came here without going through proper immigration channels. This is after they gaveled out speakers who used the proper names of drag queens while testifying. Imagine if Republicans told Democrats the words they can and can't use, there would be outrage from all corners

TAKING FROM PETER TO PAY PAUL IS NOT HOW TO FIX SCHOOL FUNDING School funding in Colorado is a complex matter. A lot of people think that what they pay in property taxes stays in their local district but that isn't how it works. Now members of the Legislature are working to "fix" the funding formula but I see some glaring flaws in what is being discussed, not the least of which is how are we going to pay for all of this when the Education fund runs dry in a couple of years? You can read the bill here if you'd like but hoo boy is it complicated. That's why I asked DougCo Superintendent Erin Kane to come on at 2:30 to talk about what this would mean for her district and others.

IS A CONVENTION OF STATES THE ANSWER? A Convention of States can be called when there is a need to make some changes to the Constitution by the people. An Article V Convention as it's called has never happened in the US and many people don't know that The People can demand changes that Congress will not make. The largest push for an Article V convention has been pushed forward by a group that wants a convention to address the following:calling of a convention of the states limited to proposing amendments to the Constitution of the United States that impose fi scal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limit the terms of o ce for its o cials and for members of Congress.Seems simple enough and we know Congress will never impose those limits on themselves. Find out about them here and join the rally to get this passed in Colorado on the West Steps of the Capitol on April 25th.
