"Democratic political advocacy organization funded by billionaire George Soros, is the lead coordinator for the [No Kings} protest."

A nationwide protest billed as grassroots is supported by a network of roughly 500 organizations with billions in combined revenue, including groups tied to Democratic advocacy circles and socialist activist movements.

Even the Democrats know it is time for DeGette to be gone.

The 28-year-old, first-time candidate challenging Democratic U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette in this year’s primary soundly defeated the 15-term incumbent in a delegate preference poll conducted Saturday at a county party assembly in Denver. Melat Kiros, the daughter of Ethiopian immigrants and a former c...

The Democrats plan has always been to take away our Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) refunds.

State lawmakers will gavel in the 2026 legislative session Wednesday and the budget will once again dominate debate.

It is all a game by the Democrats to bypass the Taxpaper Bill of Rights (TABOR). In this instance using the ploy "this is for the kids." But wait, the last vote included SNAP benefits. But they are still short??? See the following link.

The $95 million a year voters approved when they passed Proposition MM in November is expected to generate enough to fund the Health School Meals for All program. But it might still go back to the ballot.

Initiative 181 is a new and the latest attack on the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) and your pocketbook. The initiative is sponsored by the Bell Policy Center led by Democrat and former state representative Chris DeGruy Kennedy. It took the group three attempts before they got it by the Colorado Title Board.

Proposed Initiative #181 would replace Colorado’s flat income tax with a so-called 'progressive' tax

These two propositions were always a bait and switch scam intended to attack the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR). And most voters fell for it because "it was for the children."

Many voters were led to believe needy kids would no longer receive 'free' lunches if Props LL and MM failed.

Colorado Democrats continue to take your hard earned money while attacking the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR) at the same time. Colorado workers will not see the full benefit of the OBBBA tax cuts.

From Newsweek -

Several states [including Colorado| and Washington, D.C., have already acted to keep key parts of the OBBBA out of their own tax codes, at least for now. Their decisions mean that taxpayers will not receive state-level versions of the new federal breaks, but all relevant taxpayers will be eligible to claim them on their federal tax returns.

Colorado has rejected the no-tax-on-overtime provision. A new line on the state tax form—“Excess federal deduction for overtime pay”—will require taxpayers to report the federally excluded amount and add it back on their state return.

Denver tops the list for violent crime of the big cities in Colorado. No surprise as Denver continues to underfund their understaffed police department.

Colorado’s violent and property crime rates rose sharply in the early 2020s, prompting varying responses from leaders at state and local levels.

Follow the money and you will know there is something inherently bad about the "Vibrant Denver" ballot questions. With a current $200 million budget deficit for 2026 resulting in the layoffs of 169 city employees, can we trust the mayor to manage such projects?

The unlimited contributions are raising the stakes and fueling a campaign blitz ahead of the Nov. 4 election.

City of Denver spending out of control. Now resulting in employee cuts and service cuts.

Denver’s real expenditures per resident grew 51% in the past decade.
