In case you forgot:

Failed on the House Floor: @RepKeltieHD16's Budget Solution ⬇️ Rep. Keltie’s amendment would have cut state staffing by 3% across every department, making government tighten its belt the way Colorado families have had to. This would have saved up to $75 million in taxpayer dollars.

Colorado business leaders are calling for real change. Since 2019, 98 companies have left Colorado, expanded elsewhere, or skipped our state totally. This costs over 13,600 jobs. Colorado now ranks as the 6th most regulated state. CBS Colorado reports on the Colorado Chamber of Commerce’s latest data and the open letter signed by more than 200 leaders urging a bipartisan 20-year strategy to strengthen our tech and innovation economy. This affects every Colorado family — through fewer job opportunities, rising costs, and risks to the next generation. Practical steps like reviewing redundant regulations and changing the tax structure could help keep businesses and jobs here. What one change would you prioritize to make Colorado more attractive for businesses? #ColoradoEconomy #BipartisanSolutions #AffordableColorado #ColoradoJobs #ColoradoBusiness

I did a little more digging into Colorado's active voter registration data age breakdown. I put this together, focusing on Democrat, Republican and Unaffiliated Active Voter Registration numbers. Interesting Stuff: - Republicans have 2,901 more "pre-registered voters" under 18 years old than Democrats do. - Democrats strongest age demographics are 25 to 44 years old. - 55 years old is the cut-off for there being more Unaffiliated voters than Rs & Ds put together. That number grows the younger voters get. - 88% of pre-registered voters are unaffiliated, and 74% of voters 18 to 24, 60% of voters 25 to 34 are unaffiliated. Takeaways: - The future is Unaffiliated. Republicans should not close their Primary. They need Unaffiliated voters in order to win anything. 77% of active voters under 25 are unaffiliated. Excluding them only pushes them to Democrats. - Youth Voters (at least those who register with a party) are trending Republican, so Republicans need to embrace them and give them a home in the Party. Although these Young Republicans are a small percentage of the electorate.

@FreeStateColor1 The income tax is only 113 years old Relatively speaking it’s a rather new concept in Western society

Happy Friday Colorado! If this simple fact was understood, society would be better off. You deserve to keep the money you earn, but greedy politicians take it and redistribute it to their political allies and preferred groups. It's wrong. They have no right to steal your money and give it away. The people need to stop this scam.

@EBod66 @a4waystop @heidiganahl @TPUSA They should be like CU, vote both places. Doesn’t stop the left.

@uTobian @RWMaloneMD Very hard to win in Colorado To take back Out of 65 reps in our state legislature 19 were R in 2022 22 are R from 2024 Now for 2026 I’m hoping 27 Including my District 27

@RWMaloneMD The alternative was to stay home, build the alternative, win at the state level, and take power nationally in 2028.

What is the alternative? We could have had President Kamala. And we might in 2028. Shudder...

Colorado, this November you can help change the direction of our state.

Lorena’s district Sure he’s just misunderstood

@BreakTheChainsM Not the place it was in 2008

I'm sure they'll feel right at home here in Denver, Colorado, with all the rampant crime, NGO fraud, homelessness, druggies, & corruption.

@TomFitton @JudicialWatch What was removed the last go around? (Every 2 or 4 years)

Most Americans don't realize this about Lebanon. It has the highest proportion of Christians of any country in the Middle East. Its president is constitutionally required to be a Maronite Christian. These are one of the oldest Christian communities on earth, going back to the 4th century. Seventeen centuries of surviving persecution, conquest, and war. This week a Vatican aid convoy tried to reach a besieged Christian town in southern Lebanon. They had to turn back. The bombs made it impossible. The US and Iran agreed to a ceasefire. Within hours 254 people were killed in Lebanon. US-made bombs hit a predominantly Christian neighborhood outside Beirut. Three people dead, including a member of an ANTI-Hezbollah Christian party and his wife. The White House called Lebanon a "separate skirmish." Your congressman has direct power over this. US arms transfers to Israel require congressional approval. That is their job. And right now most of them are saying nothing. Here is the exact three-step system to put them on record: STEP 1: Make the call Go to americanvoxpop.com/?ref=AVP4OI3UN. They get you the direct number and email for your specific congressman, not the public runaround, and their software bypasses the filters that block most constituent contact. You actually get through. Ask two questions. On the record. "US-made bombs are hitting Christian neighborhoods in Lebanon right now. What are you personally doing to stop it?" "Will you vote to suspend US arms transfers to Israel until the bombing of Lebanon stops, yes or no?" Both questions require a direct answer. Yes, no, or dodge, all three tell you exactly who they work for. STEP 2: No answer in 5 days? Make it public Screenshot the silence or the dodge. Post it. Tag your congressman's official social media account. Write one sentence: "I asked my congressman to go on record about US bombs hitting Christians in Lebanon. Here's what I got. Remember this in November." This is not anger. This is a voting record. It is public. It follows them. It is what they are genuinely afraid of. STEP 3: Three sentences to your local newspaper Letters to the editor. Keep it exactly this short: "US-made bombs are hitting Christian communities in Lebanon. I asked my congressman what they are personally doing to stop it. I got no answer — and I'm a voter in this district." Newspapers print those. Congressmen read every single one. Local press is where their career lives and dies. One call. One post. Three sentences. The oldest Christian community in the world deserves more than silence from the people we elected. Share this. Someone in your network needs to see it.

@UnderCapitalist @WillLuden @bradleyforco When the vote is counted accurately

@WillLuden @bradleyforco @EBod66 Or free lunches for rich and middle class kids. When will the voters stop being suckers?

Coloradans voted for Proposition 123 (Colorado 2022) to fund affordable housing, not to backfill a broken budget. Now $130 MILLION is being swept into the general fund. So let me ask: If voters approve where their tax dollars go… why does the legislature get to override them? We can’t keep robbing Peter to pay Paul. Balance the budget, respect the voters.

@COLawandOrder We’re top 10 in everything went don’t want And bottom 5 in everything we do (like roads, kids reading at grade level..)

FUGITIVE ARREST: Timothy Gowda was wanted for a second-degree assault warrant by Arvada PD. US Marshals arrested Gowda after attempting to evade capture by climbing onto the roof of an apartment building near Highland Park. Colorado ranks #7 for Violent Crime.

@HopeSchepp Easy does it

For me... Freedom from “King Alcohol” is not something I achieved once. It’s something I choose every day. I know what it means to live in that prison... spiritually, emotionally, and physically. What once felt like relief was really chains. By the grace of God, I am no longer there. Recently, I was asked to speak honestly about my past, my struggles, my recovery, and how I live today. I was humbled to do so. My past does not define me. I am grounded in a 12-step program. I have a sponsor. I have a strong support system. When asked how I face environments with alcohol, stress, and triggers, my answer was clear: one day at a time. Staying connected, staying accountable, and staying grounded in faith. I cannot guarantee tomorrow. But today, I am free. Not because of my strength. But because I surrendered. “King Alcohol” no longer rules my life. But I never forget he waits. That doesn’t scare me. It keeps me grounded. I owe everything to God for this freedom. And today, I choose it again. Early screening for substance misuse is a key step toward a healthier future. #AlcoholScreeningDay Find support with Screen4Success: samhsa.gov/talk-they-hear…

Hour 2 of the Long Bill reading. This is the most egregious part of the budget: “Colorado for All” was sold at $14.7M— now it’s over $120M, with a $95M cap. Taxpayer-funded benefits for those here illegally, without your consent. That’s not compassion. That’s compelled spending. Real compassion is voluntary. Government should follow the Constitution, not ignore it.

@a4waystop @heidiganahl @TPUSA We made by there for awhile Not to sound old, but it was hard to hear him with the tiny little speaker he was hooked up to Golden is important and has about 1/4 of the constituents of HD 27 Most Mines Students are not registered here, but rather at their home address

My friend at Mines told me the leftists tried to “Walk Out” in protest of @TPUSA inviting Alex Stein to speak outdoors. Some classes were canceled for “safety”. (Or pro walk-out bias?) However then more students went to see Alex Stein. Apparently many more saw Stein than the leftist “walk out”. I thought we were done with trying to cancel free speech? @coschoolofmines @ILoveBlaster

🚨 URGENT: OUR SUBURB IS UNDER ATTACK 🚨 The soul of our community is on the chopping block. We’ve just received the Notice of Neighborhood Meeting for PA-3A/#B, and the "Preliminary Plan" is a developer’s dream but a resident’s nightmare. Democrats have sold us out. Under the guise of "modern planning," central planners and partisan architects are trying to force hyper-urbanization onto our quiet suburban streets. They want to tear up our green spaces and replace our skyline with dense, multi-family housing units that belong in a concrete jungle, not our backyard. Why we should be outraged: Environmental Devastation: This isn't "growth"—it’s scarring the land. We are looking at a significant environmental impact that will destroy local habitats and permanently alter our natural drainage and air quality. Cultural Erasure: This is a blatant attempt to force-change our culture. We moved here for space, safety, and a specific way of life. These planners want to erase that identity to satisfy a political agenda. Infrastructure Chaos: Our schools, roads, and services aren't built for this kind of artificial density. 🗣️ MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD They think we aren’t paying attention. They think they can steamroll us in a quiet neighborhood meeting. They are wrong. 📅 MEETING DETAILS: Wednesday April 16, 2026 Time: 6:00 - 7:00 pm MST Location: 13495 Holly St. Thornton, CO 80602 Don’t let them turn our home into a social experiment. Show up, speak out, and let’s protect our neighborhoods. ⚠️ DON'T FALL FOR THE "FEEDBACK" TRAP Here is how this meeting will go: The developer will stand there, nod their head, and pretend to "listen" to your concerns about traffic, noise, or building height. Do not be fooled. This is a calculated tactic. If you offer "suggestions" for improvement, they will walk into the city council meeting and say: "We listened to the community's concerns and addressed them in our revised plan. Everyone is on board, so let’s move forward." The only concern you should voice—loudly and repeatedly—is: "WE DON'T WANT IT HERE. PERIOD." Any other feedback is just giving them the ammo they need to claim they have "community collaboration." We aren't here to help them build this better; we are here to stop it. #SaveParterre #StopTheHighRise #ProtectOurSuburbs #NoToPA3AB #CommunityFirst

I can explain it. I did — in 2022. Here's exactly how to fix Colorado's budget and get to zero income tax: 🔹 Cut the size of government 10% every year for 4 years. That's a 40% reduction. Jared Polis grew government by 20%+ and added nearly 4,000 new employees. We should reverse that — immediately. 🔹 Freeze ALL government hiring on Day 1. 🔹 Move Polis's hidden fees to actual taxes and put them on the ballot. Voters decide — approve them and the revenue goes to the general fund, reject them and they're gone. Either way, the people choose. That's ~$1 billion right there. 🔹 Eliminate special interest tax exemptions. Politicians protect these. We must not. 🔹 Cut fraud and waste — targeting 5% of the budget. Another ~$1 billion. 🔹 Attract new businesses by becoming a zero income tax state. The 5 top-performing state economies in America have zero income tax. We modeled $2–3 billion in new revenue from economic growth alone. 🔹 Phase out the income tax ~1% per year over my first term. Not overnight — responsibly. The Independence Institute ran the numbers independently and said the plan was feasible — that my "main obstacle was not an inadequate plan but politicians and other interests who wanted to keep growing government." That's the answer. It's not comfortable. It requires actually shrinking government. Tough cuts. But the numbers work — if you have the guts to do it.
