A political appointee who was born into a life of privilege in an East-Coast Democratic Establishment family... This guy is about as far removed from the average Coloradan as anyone can be... Some background on Bennet explains: -Born in India in 1964, while his father was working for ambassador Chester Bowles. -Bennet was raised in a family of Democratic Party insiders in Washington DC and Connecticut. -He attended St. Albans, a prestigious college-prep High School that has a long list of famous alumi -His father Douglas J. Bennet Jr., a long-time Democratic insider ran USAID in the Jimmy Carter administration, was an aide for Vice-President Hubert Humphrey, was the President of NPR for 10 years, worked in Bill Clinton‘s State Department in the mid-1990’s, and served as president of Wesleyan University for over 10 years. -His grandfather was an economic advisor to FDR. -His brother James Bennet was the editor for The Atlantic and ran the editorial page at the New York Times. Bennet is an intergenerational member of the DC Democratic Establishment. His adult-life and career has been almost entirely in service to the State: -1987, earns BA from Wesleyan University (where his father and grandfather attended) -1988 to 1990, served as personal assistant to Ohio Governor Richard Celeste -1993, graduates from Yale (a favored institution of the political establishment) -1995 to 1997, Counsel to US Deputy Attorney General and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney -1997, Marries Susan Daggett (an Environment Attorney for politically connected Sierra Club), and now a DU Law Professor. -1997, at age 34, moves to Colorado when wife Susan accepts a job at Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund. -1997 to 2003, Managing Director at Anschutz Investment Co, where he was involved in the merger creating Regal Entertainment Group, the largest movie theater chain in the world. -2003 to 2005 Chief of Staff to Mayor of Denver, John Hickenlooper -2005 to 2009, Superintendent for Denver Public Schools -2008, on President-elect Obama’s short list for Secretary of Education -2008, OpenSecrets.org shows Bennet’s net worth at $17 million. -2009, appointed by Governor Bill Ritter to US Senate following Ken Salazar’s appointment to Secretary of the Interior -2010, his campaign for re-election spent $13 million compared to Ken Buck’s $4.8 million. Bennet won by only 1.7% (less than 29,000 votes) -2020, ran for President, raising over $6.8 million for his campaign. -In 2022, his net worth is estimated at $15 million, ranking him 12th wealthiest member of the US Senate. Looking at his life, Bennet is NOT representative of the typical Coloradoan. He isn’t even representative of a typical US Senator when you consider his wealth! The average person works throughout their life to afford a quality existence for their family. Bennet is far-removed from the life of an average Coloradoan.

🚨 THE COLORADO DEMOCRAT CULTURE OF CORRUPTION 🚨 While hardworking Coloradans are balancing their own checkbooks, the Colorado Democratic Party is mired in a "gross mismanagement" scandal that reaches into the very heart of their leadership. This isn't just an isolated incident; it’s a systemic culture of entitlement spreading from the Gold Dome to our local communities. Democrats are corrupt. The Latest Scandal: Rep. Mandy Lindsay The House Ethics Committee has officially launched an investigation into Rep. Mandy Lindsay (D-Aurora), the co-chair of the House Democratic caucus, following explosive allegations of: Self-Dealing: Writing herself checks for thousands of dollars from caucus funds. "Laundered" Cash: Allegedly moving campaign money through internal accounts to bypass transparency. Double Dipping: Taking reimbursements for hotel bills already paid for by the caucus debit card. Breach of Duty: Using a position of power as a personal piggy bank. Even her own colleagues are sounding the alarm, with some admitting this behavior "skirts the line" of criminal conduct. A Pattern of Corruption in Adams County This isn't just about one lawmaker; it's the "Democrat way" in Colorado. We see the same pattern of questionable ethics and self-interest in Adams County. Whether it’s the controversies surrounding Jacque Phillips, the political maneuvering of Kyle Mullica, or the long list of other insiders who prioritize the party machine over the people—the message is clear: transparency is optional for the radical left. Bottom Line When Democrats are in charge, the rules don't seem to apply. How can we trust them with our state budget when they can't even manage their own bank accounts without an ethics probe? It’s time to clean house and end the pay-to-play culture in Denver and Adams County. Coloradans deserve leaders who respect the law, not those who treat public service like a private ATM. 📉🏛️ #COPolitics #COLeg #AdamsCounty #ColoradoDemocrats #Corruption #Accountability #CleanUpColorado denverpost.com/2026/04/22/col…

WEAPONIZATION: Democrats, dissatisfied with Supreme Court rulings, have decided they will simply keep adding judges until they find a court that will rule in their favor. Hakeem Jeffries admits that once they’ve packed the court they eliminate filibuster.

🚨ATTEMPTED MURDER: Tren de Aragua gang banger just arrested in Aurora CO for hijacking a truck and shooting at the owner over 15-times. Eliseo Adonai Vasquez-Leon is a bloodthirsty illegal alien killer from Venezuela. Republicans must terminate the filibuster and fund DHS.

HUGE WIN!!!  My amendment to STOP foreign adversaries from purchasing American farmland has PASSED!  It makes zero sense why we would allow our enemies to own AMERICAN land. It should never have been allowed in the first place.

🚨 COLORADO ALERT: Another "Soft on Crime" Giveaway 🚨 The Democrats at the State Capitol are at it again, and this time they are literally redefining murder to make life easier for violent criminals. The "Get Out of Jail Sooner" Summary: Under this new bill, the threshold for First Degree Murder is being gutted. Unless a killer takes multiple lives, targets a child, or kills a first responder, Democrats want to downgrade "extreme indifference" killings to Second Degree Murder. Here is how this bill protects criminals over victims: One Life Isn’t Enough: If a criminal acts with "extreme indifference" to human life and kills one person, Democrats no longer think that automatically warrants a First Degree Murder charge. Diluting Justice: By creating new, lower-level offenses for vehicular homicide and "negligent" killings, they are ensuring shorter sentences and easier plea deals for people who kill our neighbors on the road. The Colorado Pattern: First, they opened the doors to our borders; now, they’re weakening the consequences for taking a life. The Bottom Line: Colorado Democrats are sending a clear message: the rights of the perpetrator outweigh the lives of the victims. We are watching our state become a playground for the lawless because the "progressive" agenda refuses to hold criminals accountable. It’s time to stop the madness. It’s time to put public safety first. 🏔️🚫 #COPolitics #Colorado #SoftOnCrime #HoldThemAccountable #SaveColorado leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb26-1281

Colorado's new bill-which allows parents and counselors to be indefinitely SUED if they do not affirm a child's gender identity-was brought to the state by billionaire-funded NGOs and advocated for by one of Time's 2026 100 Most Influential People in the World.🧵

Spencer Pratt has created a phone app that will be used for accountability of public officials if he’s elected Mayor of Los Angeles Here’s how it works - Residents will be able to report things like piles of trash - They can upload a video, the location is geotagged - An email will be sent out to all the public officials for the problem - The app will keep track of their record of addressing the problems - A ranking system will be made showing how successful each public official is in each area If they did fix issues they’ll have a high score, if they ignore issues they’ll have a failing score Then voters can easily see which public officials should be voted for and who needs to be voted out

The left and the media, scream “both sides.” But only one side is calling a duly elected president a “dictator.” Only one side is throwing around “fascist” like it’s meaningless. And only one side’s rhetoric keeps showing up next to real-world violence. Three attempts on President Trump’s life in two years. Spare us the lectures. This isn’t equal.

This is what I've been screaming about for the past year. Colorado is literally run by communists, pedophiles, and retards.

WEAPONIZATION: No Fed chair has stayed on the board after being replaced in 78 years. Powell just announced he is doing exactly that. He blocked prosecutors, buried the $2.5 billion renovation scandal with Boasberg & Tillis's help, & now refuses to leave the institution entirely. Warsh gets the chair. Powell keeps the vote. The cover-up continues.

Thanks to Xcel Energy and the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), your natural gas bill is going to increase even more! Of course, part of the reason why Xcel wants the money is to pay for the PUC's outrageous plan to eliminate all natural gas emissions, meaning Coloradans will eventually lose access to natural gas for residential homes...

BREAKING: After 3 Hours of debate, HB26-1281 narrowly passes the House on third reading.. This bill lowers the penalty for murder in cases of "extreme indifference" with some exceptions... Before this bill takes effect, a person can be charged with first degree murder "when an individual knowingly engages in conduct with an attitude of universal malice manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life generally that creates a grave risk of death to a person or persons, and which conduct causes the death of another person." For example, someone shoots into a crowd or randomly kills someone by acting in "extreme indifference" to human life. After this bill takes effect, to be found guilty of First Degree Murder caused by "extreme indifference," a criminal would have to kill "more than one person, a child under 12, a first responder," or kill "one person and also cause serious bodily injury to two of more persons by means of a deadly weapon." Otherwise, just killing one person with "extreme indifference" will only result in Second Degree Murder... That's right, literal murderers will have lower penalties thanks to Colorado House Democrats...

We simply cannot allow this man to be governor. He is a threat to women and children everywhere. He wastes our tax dollars on frivolous lawsuits and he is a Soros funded puppet pretending to be grassroots. He is evil and he is dangerous.

Phil Weiser has been Colorado Attorney General since January 2019 and is the Democratic candidate for governor in the 2026 election as Jared Polis’s term ends. We listed out exactly how Jared Polis became governor and his dismal record in ignoring public dissent about gender ideology and pushing laws specifically designed to benefit the trans industry. We now turn our focus to Phil Weiser. There is no public record of any personal, family, or pre-political involvement with gender ideology; Weiser has consistently described his actions as enforcing civil rights laws, rooted in his family’s Holocaust-survivor history. Here is a precise breakdown of his official record and the specific policies and cases his office has defended or pursued. 1. Schools, Sports, and Facilities: Defending Gender Identity Over Biological Sex Under HB 25-1312, signed into law by Gov. Jared Polis on May 16, 2025, amendments were made to expand Colorado’s Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA). Schools and public entities must allow participation in sports, locker rooms, and programs based on self-identified gender identity rather than biological sex. Phil Weiser and his office are being sued in federal lawsuits filed in response the same month: School District 49 v. Sullivan (U.S. District Court, case 1:25-cv-01463) and Defending Education @DefendingEd; Colorado Parent Advocacy Network @CPANColorado; Protect Kids Colorado @ProtectKidsCO; Do No Harm @donoharm; and Travis Morrell @MorrellMDmph 😎 v. Sullivan et al. (including Weiser), (Case No. 1:25-cv-01572-RMR-MDB). Note that Aubrey C. Sullivan is the Colorado Civil Rights Division Director and lead defendant while Phil Weiser and his office are the defense counsel. All defense actions will be paid for with your taxpayer money, of course. The first suit mentioned was brought by multiple school districts (primarily District 49 near Colorado Springs) claiming the state mandate violates Title IX, equal protection, and girls’ rights by placing biological males in girls’ sports and facilities. In December 2025 the Colorado High School Activities Association reached a settlement with the plaintiff districts, permitting them to use biological-sex categories for sports, locker rooms, and overnight accommodations without state penalty. The case against the state itself remains active. On January 21, 2026, a federal magistrate judge named Maritza D. Braswell recommended dismissal of the claims against the state with prejudice, to ensure it can't be refiled. Weiser has also filed motion for dismissal. The case is still ongoing. Real-world impact on Coloradans: The overwhelming majority of female student-athletes have lost fair competition, podium finishes, scholarships, and privacy/safety in shared facilities. Parents and athletes in non-settled districts report demotivation and lost opportunities. Taxpayers pay the legal bills for the state’s defense, and districts face potential loss of federal Title IX funding. The policy gives preferred access to the small percentage of students identifying as transgender while sidelining most girls. Note: Both suits stem from the same broader cultural and legal battles in Colorado over CADA enforcement on gender issues (gender identity taking precedence over biological sex in schools/activities vs. forced language/speech) 2. Medical Interventions for Minors: Mandating Coverage and Blocking Federal Limits Colorado law (HB25-1309, signed 2025) designates puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries as “medically necessary” and requires all health plans to cover them. Weiser’s office has actively opposed federal restrictions: - February 5, 2025: Joined a multistate coalition lawsuit against the Trump administration’s “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation” executive order. - December 29, 2025: Filed suit against HHS Secretary Kennedy’s declaration restricting such care. - Issued public statements after the June 18, 2025 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in U.S. v. Skrmetti, and participated in related proceedings protecting Children’s Hospital Colorado and Denver Health access. Real-world impact on Coloradans: Families seeking these interventions for minors were able to stay in-state rather than travel out-of-state after temporary hospital pauses were reversed in early 2025. Every insured resident pays an additional ~$2.52 per person per year through the mandated coverage (per the April 2025 Colorado Division of Insurance fiscal analysis), with Medicaid also covering costs. Colorado has become a destination state for families from states with stricter rules. Critics cite studies showing most children with gender dysphoria resolve naturally after puberty when given time and exploratory therapy rather than immediate medicalization, plus documented risks of infertility, bone-density loss, sexual dysfunction, and later regret. Who benefits, and what is the motivation? 3. The 2019 “Conversion Therapy” Ban (Struck Down by U.S. Supreme Court) HB19-1129 (2019) prohibited licensed therapists from engaging in any practice, including ordinary talk therapy, intended to help a minor align with biological sex or explore non-affirmative options regarding gender identity. Weiser’s office defended the law, filing an amicus brief in Chiles v. Salazar on August 19, 2025, arguing it was necessary to protect minors from “harmful” practices. On March 31, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that the ban violated the First Amendment as applied to the counselor plaintiff’s protected speech. Weiser publicly called the decision a “setback.” Real-world impact on Coloradans: Before the ruling, therapists faced up to $5,000 fines and license revocation for discussing biological reality, faith-based perspectives, or watchful-waiting approaches. This chilled speech and limited options for parents concerned about rapid-onset gender dysphoria or social contagion. Post-ruling, licensed counselors can now offer exploratory talk therapy without automatic state penalty. The decision did not affect legitimate malpractice or fraud claims. However, Phil Weiser and his collaborators are actively plotting to circumvent the Supreme Court overturn with HB26-1322, described below. 4. 2026 Gubernatorial Campaign Platform Weiser’s official campaign website (philforcolorado.com) and materials prominently feature the pledge to “Protect LGBTQ+ Coloradans - defend access to gender-affirming care, enforce civil rights protections, and confront rising hate.” He has received endorsements from One Colorado and Rocky Mountain Equality and has stated he has “the transgender community’s backs.” No proposals for evidence-based review, expanded parental rights, or sex-based protections have been announced. 5. Active Matters in Colorado Right Now Directly Tied to His Record As Attorney General, Weiser does not sponsor bills but enforces the laws and defends them in court. These are the specific items currently moving: - HB26-1322 (Civil Actions for Conversion Therapy Survivors): Introduced March 2026 in reaction to the striking down of HB19-1129 by the Supreme Court. Creates a private right of action (no statute of limitations) allowing survivors or their estates to sue licensed mental-health professionals, supervisors, or facilities for injuries from “sexual orientation or gender identity change efforts.” Amended after the March 31, 2026 Supreme Court ruling to target only coercive practices. Passed the Colorado House on April 2, 2026 by a 40-23 vote (mostly party-line). Now assigned to the Senate Judiciary Committee. If enacted, Weiser’s office would handle related enforcement. - HB26-1083 (Protect Female Sports Act): Introduced February 2026 by Republican legislators. Would have required all school and college sports teams to designate participation strictly by biological sex. Heard in committee March 9, 2026; failed to advance and is considered dead for the 2026 session. - Boe et al. v. Children’s Hospital Colorado: Ongoing Colorado Supreme Court case. Families sued under the Anti-Discrimination Act after Children’s Hospital Colorado and Denver Health paused gender-affirming care for minors in early 2025 due to federal funding threats. Oral arguments held April 14, 2026; no ruling issued as of April 28, 2026. Weiser’s office has supported efforts to compel continued access. - Qualified November 3, 2026 Ballot Initiatives: Three ballot initiatives brought by Colorado parents (via the grassroots group Protect Kids Colorado) are Initiatives #108, #109, and #110. These qualified for the November 2026 statewide ballot after a volunteer-driven petition drive that collected more than 500,000 signatures total (roughly 165,000–170,000 per measure, well above the ~124,238 valid signatures required for each). The effort was powered by 3,320+ parent and community volunteers (plus nearly 2,000 notaries and coordinators in all 64 counties). Initiative 109 (“Sex Requirement for School and College Sports”): Requires K-12 and collegiate teams to be designated by biological sex (male, female, or co-ed categories only), with narrow exceptions. Initiative 110 (“Prohibit Surgeries for Treatment in Response to Minors’ Perception of Sex or Gender”): Bans surgeries on minors to alter biological sex characteristics and prohibits Medicaid, insurance, or state funds from covering them. BOTTOM LINE on Phil Weiser’s record on the gender ideology issue: Phil Weiser’s record as Attorney General shows a consistent, official pattern: defending Colorado’s gender-identity mandates in schools and sports (School District 49 v. Sullivan), enforcing insurance coverage for youth medical interventions (HB25-1309), and (until the March 31, 2026 Supreme Court decision) shielding the 2019 therapy ban. The practical effects are measurable - lost opportunities for sporty girls, higher insurance costs for all families, and uncertain counseling options for parents with children who think they are born in the wrong body. With HB26-1322 advancing, the Boe case pending, and two statewide ballot measures on the November 2026 ballot, Coloradans have concrete votes ahead on sports fairness, minor surgeries, and therapy access. His campaign signals the same policy direction would continue. You have to wonder about the base morals and values of a man tries his damn best to: - deny young girls their sex-based rights to privacy, safety and opportunity in their own spaces and sports - try to punish/dissuade therapists that recommend a wait and watch approach to sex confusion in children instead pushing possible lifetime medicalization with severe morbidity and sterilization. Ask yourself what's in it for him, and who profits? - force doctors like us into compelled speech being imposed by the trans industry, thereby being forced to lie to patients Colorado voters have the specific records in front of us. What are we going to do about Phil Weiser's ambition to be governor? REFERENCES: (all sources are legal records, court dockets, or news articles mentioned, currents as of today): 1.
