I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there; in her fertile fields and boundless prairies, and it was not there; in her rich mines and her vast world commerce, and it was not there. Not until I went to the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”

Sponsored by the Independence Institute


Rally @ the Capitol to Exempt Colorado from Obama Care!



When: January 19th @ Noon



Where: West steps, Capitol building



Why: To defend state's rights against Obama Care!



Speakers: Jon Caldara, President of the Independence Institute, Representative Cindy Acree, and more to be announced later!

...It's good to remember that the states created the federal government and not the other way around. As Obama Care becomes closer to reality, we in Colorado have the right to say "No." This is a chance for freedom loving people from across the state to come together and send the Colorado General assembly a simple message: Defend Colorado against Obama Care in the legislature, or we the people will do it at the ballot...



At the rally, we will be introducing language for a ballot initiative to amend the Colorado Constitution to excempt Colorado from Obama Care. We need to send a very strong and unified message to lawmakers that while we want them to say yes to defending Colorado, we are also ready, willing and able to move forward with the citizen initative process should the legislature fail us.

Sounds great! I hope Utah does something similar.

I've only ever been to one event like this and it was last Apr 15. I plan to go to more... I think we're going to have to.

How did it go??

I'm sad to say that I couldn't make it but I heard that there were hundreds that attended. John Caldera is one of my favorite talk show hosts and his Independance institute is a well spring of conservative thought.
