Though each of these leaders may say that they stand for family, community, public health and safety, and the youth of our state, their contribution disclosures say otherwise. How can they possibly objectively weigh in on what is best for our community when they are accepting contributions as fast as they can receive them? Representative Dan Pabon (D), Denver county,…

Celebrations filled with calories, candy, carved meats, cigars, cigarettes and copious amounts of tryptophan; but alas, we mustn’t forget the THC enhanced cookies, cakes and a quintessential holiday joint or two. Between the traffic, tryptophan, THC…
Activists Unite to Combat the Commercialization Efforts in CO #DoNotCOmmercialize Hello readers!
