I called Governor Polis’s office after Legislative Legal Services denied our Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) request today (6/12/19) for documents relevant to the Constitutionality of HB19-1110 signed by the Governor on June 3. They wrote that those documents are considered to be working documents and not subject to public access. The “Citizen Liaison” in…

I’ve requested ACLU assistance to stop Colorado HB19-1110 on media literacy ed as it is “Censorship by Proxy,” First Amendment violation
I also submitted a Colorado Open Records request to Legislative Legal Services asking for any and all documents related to the Constitutional basis for the bill. I attended the Federal Court’s Pro Se Clinic in Denver as scheduled to learn how best to challenge Colorado HB19-1110 regarding media literacy curriculum for secondary education based on…
Rule of law or law of rulers? Passage of Colorado HB19-1110 means Federal Court is next step for answers
For-profit institutional media has weaponized the First Amendment against the very Citizens it was enacted to protect. Colorado House Bill 19-1110 regarding “media literacy in our schools” is yet another power play by the newspaper lobby to double-down on their monopoly privileges without qualification over all other media segments in order to influence, gaslight, overtake,…

Lawyer Biden & real estate developer Trump fail to recognize property rights & trespassing laws in America? This isn’t a partisan issue, its a property issue…
Whether they’re grabbing women by the shoulders or by the *****, they are, by definition under the law, in addition to committing battery, trespassing. There are more laws protecting a person’s private property (land) and trespassing rights than for that same person’s private property (human body) rights.
In the presence of Masters: my first Tai Chi class
I’ve wanted to learn Tai Chi for decades. I thought it would help me with balance — in a lot of areas. Yes, decades. But, for many one-reasons or another, the class schedules offered were never compatible with mine. Or something like that. So! Last week, when the healing center I’ve benefited from in the…
Cold War Propaganda incited me to dig deeper, to recognize tells, and to question … everything.
Why did I pursue a degree in Russian Area Studies from the University of Texas in the late 1980s through early 1990s, a degree considered fairly worthless when I started except for those planning a career in the US State Department or CIA, neither of which I had any intention of joining? And why, considering…
