More Love for the Amendment 54 Puppies and Kitties

June 26th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Westword apparently can’t get enough of my Amendment 54 puppies and kitties ads.

It’s unfortunate, however, that the occasion for revisiting these gems is Judge Catherine Lemon’s issuing of a temporary injunction against the implementation of the donations portion of Amendment 54.  
Remember, Colorado: from TABOR to transparency, it doesn’t matter what you vote for… if Big Labor and its [...]

“Frankly, We Don’t Want to Be Compared to Detroit”

November 30th, 2008 · No Comments

And who can blame them?
Ex-communist Slovakia is fast becoming Europe’s Detroit: a humming automotive haven where — for now, at least — there’s no sign of the crisis gripping America’s Big Three.
“We’re talking about adding jobs, not eliminating them,” says Jun-Bum Park, general manager of Kia Motors Slovakia, which opened the sprawling euro1 billion ($1.36 [...]

DMYR’s Sad Kitten Makes the Rocky!

November 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

From Saturday’s The Stump:
MEOW! CATFIGHT OVER BALLOT MEASURES
The latest mailing against Amendments 47 (right to work), 49 (union paycheck deductions) and 54 (government contracting) shows Godzilla stepping on a firehouse.
In response, the Denver Metro Young Republicans says it came up with its own “absurd, dishonest and manipulative” ad. It features a kitten and says [...]

Kittens for Amendments 47, 49, and 54 - UPDATED: A Puppy Too!

October 31st, 2008 · 8 Comments

Out-of-state Big Labor-funded front organization Protect Colorado’s Future Culture of Corruption has really gone overboard with its latest mailing. Check out the scans of their “Godzilla vs. A Fire Station” ad over at Peoples Press Collective if you haven’t already received a copy of this thing yourself.

What is Amendment 49?

September 3rd, 2008 · 2 Comments

Jon Caldara of the Independence Institute explains that this fall’s Amendment 49 is not about attacking unions, but about ethics in government:
“Amendment 49 is not a labor issue and I’ll repeat that,” he said, which he did.
What is it, then? “It’s a restriction on government. It’s an ethics issue.”
His proposal would prohibit all state [...]
