Chairman's Corner

On Friday night March 3rd, the Longmont City Council hosted their annual “Legislative Dinner”, this event provides community members the opportunity to interface with the current slate of local elected representatives. Attending were HD11 Rep. Karen McCormick, HD19 Rep. Jennifer Parenti, and SD17 Sen. Sonya Jaquez Lewis. Also in attendance were many conservative voices willing to give up a Friday night to face elected leaders with their concerns about how Colorado is being governed.


Mark Milliman gave an impassioned speech about how the laws are being changed to rob parents of their rights to their children’s school records and any mental health related processes involving our children. Tara Menza spoke out against the legislative record of Rep. McCormick, pointing out that her priorities of gender and climate, were not addressing the real needs of her consituents such as crime, fentanyl overdose, and teen suicide. Owner of Grandpa’s, a well-known and established small business that specializes in firearms, testified about the many instances of felony crimes committed against his business, that have resulted in weak convictions and sentencing, allowing these criminals to continue their life of crime. I spoke out, as I often do, on the cultural issues. How the Democrats are ruining life in American by instituting laws that are destroying meritocracy and promoting the racial and gender ideologies of equity.


This was a great opportunity to have our voices heard, face to face. YOU can have this same opportunity each week at your local City Council and School Board meetings. Please contact either myself or Steven Altschuler, to learn more about how you can get involved. Another great way to have your voice heard is to write Letters to the Editor. Please reach out to me for help getting started with this activity.


We must not remain silent, our beautiful state of Colorado is becoming more and more like California, if we are ever going to turn the tide, we’ll need everyone to get into the fight!

  • I create this.  If you send me items to post, I may edit it, or I may not.  I appreciate it when things are sent because I cannot keep track of all that goes on in Boulder County!   
  • The amount and thoroughness of these has only to do with how much time I have to spend on it and has nothing to do with the importance of an event.  Half the time I send this out and then notice 3 more items that you might have been interested in as well.
