Gov Hickenlooper's estranged wife Helen, wrote a "book," now made into a "play." I use quotes to indicate it is really a piece of campaign propaganda. Listen to a 30 sec clip from CO Public Radio.

In that segment, it is claimed that I wiped a tear from my eye as I talked about the American Flag in a speech that I gave several years ago. Although I have been moved to tears by my own speeches in the past, in this case I was just wiping sweat from my eye. Stage lights can really get hot!

School tax measure would be a drag on Colorado's economy, CU Leeds study finds - Denver Business Journal

www.bizjournals.com/denver/news/2013/10/09/amendme....html

"If the measure passes, the economy would lose $224 million in economic activity, on average, over the first five years and $993 million from 2019 to 2040, the"Economic Impact of Amendment 66” report found. "The net effect of increased taxes and spending weighs negatively on state GDP, personal income, disposable personal income and population when compared to the baseline scenario,” the economic report said."

GOP secretly squeezing amnesty through Congress

www.wnd.com/2013/10/gop-secretly-squeezing-amnesty...gress

Republicans will never be able to match the pandering of Democrats on immigration enforcement. No matter how many compromises Republicans make, Democrats will always up the bid.

The only truly smart path out of that box for Republicans is to take a stand on principle, the principle of the rule of law. That means appealing to Hispanic voters on the same issues and with the same sincerity and realism with which they appeal to other voters. A Pew Center poll in June revealed that 40 percent of Hispanic voters support amnesty only after achieving meaningful border security.

Honored to be endorsed by State Sen. David Balmer

"Tom Tancredo is a real leader and the only hope for Colorado. His strong, principled approach shows he is the best choice to make the hard decisions and stand by them.”

Thank you, Sen. Balmer, for your confidence in my campaign for Colorado's Governorship in 2014!

Original Press Release - Tancredo Takes Lead on GOP Civility

For Immediate Release- August 29, 2013

Contact- Jimmy Lakey jimmy@tancredoforgovernor.org

Challenges opponents to sign ‘Republican Peace Agreement’

(Denver, CO) – Today, Republican gubernatorial candidate and former US Congressman Tom Tancredo announced his challenge to all current and future Republican primary candidates for Governor to join him in signing his ‘Republican Peace Agreement.’

Tancredo explained that a main reason for Republican statewide losses over the past several cycles is due to negative and often vicious primary election races that leave the winner too damaged to go on and defeat the Democrat in the general election.

As examples, Tancredo pointed to former Republican Congressman Bob Beauprez’s losing campaign for Governor in 2006 and Republican Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck’s losing campaign for US Senate in 2010.

In both campaigns, their defeated Republican Primary opponents irreparably damaged the eventual Republican nominee by, among other negative actions, falsely labeling Beauprez as"Both ways Bob” and shamefully charging Ken Buck with conducting a"War on Women.” Despite surviving their primary elections, these labels stuck like glue and Democrats simply carried the same themes forward to win their general elections.

"I’m running for governor of Colorado to defeat John Hickenlooper and his radical, left wing policies, not run down other decent Republican candidates. If our struggling Republican Party can’t get it together and demonstrate civility toward each other, we will again be handing victory to the Democrat extremists and their out-of-control, disastrous agenda,” stated Tancredo.

Tancredo’s ‘Republican Peace Agreement’, emailed to his declared Republican opponents today, requests candidates to pledge in writing to join him in:

• Speaking no ill of fellow law-abiding Republican candidates and instead direct their criticism at exposing failed Democrat Governor John Hickenlooper.
• Refraining from divisive debates except if Gov. Hickenlooper attends.
• Running their campaigns to demonstrate genuine leadership in reforming Colorado’s broken government and making the case why they will have the best chance at defeating Gov. Hickenlooper in November of 2014.

Tancredo concluded by saying,"I support strong and vibrant primary elections, but reject tearing down my decent Republican brethren who uphold the law. If any such Republican, be it me or someone else, will have any chance at winning in 2014, we must join together today and pledge peace with each other while directing our fair criticism where it belongs - solely at our failed Governor John Hickenlooper.”

Original Press Release - Tancredo comments on secession of Colorado rural counties

For Immediate Release: August 27, 2013
Contact: Jimmy Lakey jimmy@tancredoforgovernor.org
". . . in a Tancredo administration, rural Colorado will be welcome at the head of the table, not locked in the basement.”

(Lakewood, CO) – With efforts continuing in some of Colorado’s rural counties to secede and form a 51st state, and one county considering secession in hopes of joining the State of Wyoming, gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo made the following statement:
"Many Colorado counties will be asking voters this November to approve secession from Colorado. This is a sad commentary on the emerging legacy of the Hickenlooper administration and his out of-control, extreme State legislature.

Both the Governor and the Democrat majority in the general assembly have ignored rural Colorado’s needs on a host of issues from energy, to gun rights, and tax rates.

Everyone knows this secession movement would not be happening if the former Mayor of Denver had not shown disdain for the concerns and values of rural Colorado. Hickenlooper has even claimed that rural Colorado, unlike Denver, is full of ‘backward thinking people.’

I promise that in a Tancredo administration, rural Colorado will be welcome at the head of the table, not locked in the basement.”

Realizing the Dream

Today is the 50th anniversary of MLK's brilliant speech at the Lincoln Memorial. The most memorable line for me defined his dream, and that was his plea for a society in which each person is judged only on the content of his character and not the color of his skin. If we hope to achieve this truly American goal, we must not only reject racial discrimination in all its forms, we must end all government sponsored programs designed to divide us into ethnic, racial and tribal enclaves. A truly race neutral society would not abide discrimination in the form of affirmative action programs, set asides and the myriad of other government sponsored, race-based mandates. There would never be a Black Caucus or Hispanic Caucus or White Caucus in the Congress of the United States. In MLK's America, a person could criticize a black president's policies without being accused of being a racist. In King's America, an immigration policy would be based on the needs of our nation and not the exploitation of racial politics for short-term partisan advantage. In MLK's America, there would be no fear of talking about black on black violence with the purpose of trying to find a solution to this national disgrace. In short, in MLK's America race would never be exploited by politicians to obtain or retain power. On this anniversary, I, for one, pray for Martin Luther King's dream to come true.

Original Release Hickenlooper tours rural Colorado and campaigns at taxpayer expense.

Contact: Jimmy Lakey jimmy@tancredoforgovernor.org
"Coloradans deserve their Governor’s respect and listening-ear everyday, not just in the days after announcing a reelection bid.”

(Lakewood, CO) – This week, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper began his own version of a ‘listening tour’ in rural Colorado. Hickenlooper’s venture out of Denver comes just days after making official his bid for reelection.

Candidate for Governor Tom Tancredo commented about Hickenlooper’s tour by saying,"I find it interesting that Hickenlooper is suddenly heading to rural Colorado and telling them he wants to listen to them. Up until now, he’s done everything possible to ignore these areas of our State.”

Tancredo added,"Where was his listening ear to rural Colorado when supporting and signing extreme gun control measures? Where was his listening ear when it came to putting his signature on SB252? Where was his listening ear when so many extreme liberal policies passed through the Legislature and he didn’t find the courage to veto even them? He signed them all!”
"This Governor has turned such a deaf ear to the folks of rural Colorado that we have several counties wanting to escape Hickenlooper’s Colorado and form a 51st State.” Tancredo continued,"How can anyone forget he is on tape referring to the ‘backwards thinking’ of rural Colorado. I guess he mustered up the courage to venture out of Denver to a part of our State that he finds so backwards.”

Tancredo concluded,"This is an obvious campaign event that sadly is being funded by the Colorado taxpayers, rather than his campaign. That fact alone is another show of disrespect for the people of Colorado. The entire trip is disingenuous. Coloradans deserve their Governor’s respect and listening-ear everyday, not just in the days after announcing a reelection bid.”

Gaming the system

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/08/12/surge-mexican-illegal-immigrants-claiming-asylum-overwhelms-border-officials/?cmpid=cmty_twitter_fn

The great irony of this is that when a vast majority of these "asylum seekers" are given the opportunity to vote here, they opt for the same big government policies that helped create the conditions from which they now flea. Certainly not unique to immigrants. Look at the attraction of "Obama phones" to the native population.

In years to come I wonder where our children and those of the present day economic refugees will be able to seek asylum.
