Boulder County's Lincoln Dinner featuring Justin Folk:
Justin Folk started out working in Hollywood on films such as The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions, and The Incredible Hulk. Commercially, he created memorable ads that have been featured during the Super Bowl and in gubernatorial, U.S. Senate, and presidential campaigns.
His feature film directorial debut, the free-speech documentary No Safe Spaces, starring Dennis Prager and Adam Carolla, was the #1 political documentary of 2019 at the box office. It also earned the highest-rated audience score (99%) for any film that year on Rotten Tomatoes.
Most recently, Folk directed and produced the cultural smash-hit What is a Woman, starring Matt Walsh. The film is one of the most-watched documentaries of all time and has been translated into over a dozen languages. Since the film’s release, nineteen states, and counting, have passed laws banning harmful gender surgeries on minors.
Location: Nissi's Event Center 1155 Coal Creek Dr in Lafayette

Use this website to sign a petition for modernized drop boxes. There is a longer explanation on the site, but this is the very reasonable request.
As citizens of Colorado we the undersigned demand that the Boulder County Clerk replace all of the remote ballot drop boxes with new units that have integrated lighting and cameras that show the faces of the persons using the boxes and simultaneously what they are inserting into the slots during both night and day conditions.

Proposition HH MUST be stopped!!!
Our legislature is asking permission to use what would be your TABOR refunds to reduce your property tax a very small amount over the BIG increase you can expect due to the repeal of the Gallagher amendment and the increate in property values. Take note!

- These Calls to Action are not sanctioned by anyone. Not the RNC and not the BOCOGOP either, though they give me this platform to use and will kick me off if I misuse it.
- 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.
- I assume this is not your only place to retrieve this sort of information.
- And finally – I write conversationally – in other words, not well. ;-)
Thank you for your time – and thank you for your continued support for everything that goes on in Boulder County!
Terri Goon
