Calling out our \u2018milquetoast\u2019 senators<\/h4>\n

To Senators John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet:<\/p>\n

Your bravery is lacking. You put the soggy into milquetoast. You clearly do not realize the time to stand up is now (and has been for a while). Donald Trump\u2019s willingness to use our military to overthrow the leadership of another country that presented no imminent threat to us is the last straw, even if Congress rubber-stamps the action.<\/p>\n

The Coloradans who voted for you to represent us didn\u2019t do so in the hopes you would both be in perpetual self-preservation mode \u2014 holding back and biting your tongue so as not to discourage moderates from voting for you in the next elections. Your ultra-lame social media posts (with awful production values) don\u2019t cut it by a Colorado mile high.<\/p>\n

Do you recall Neville Chamberlain? Maybe you ought to pin his name up in your campaign headquarters and make his visage your smartphone background, because he appears to be your hero. For further perspective, call Mark Udall.<\/p>\n

Your legacy will not be formed by your past, but by what you both do now. Get off your butts and get on TV, radio, the internet, and town-halls and help get others motivated to stop the GOP and Trump.<\/p>\n

Stickers to cover up Trump on Parks pass should be removable<\/h4>\n

Re: \u201cNational parks: Feds say stickers could invalidate annual passes<\/a>,\u201d Jan. 7 news story<\/p>\n

We read in the paper this morning that Donald Trump is putting his face on the 2026 Parks Pass right next to George Washington. Seriously?<\/p>\n

Here is my solution for those of us who do not want to see his face in our cars. Simply get a sticker to cover his face that you can remove as you are enter a park and then reattach it once you have completed your time in our wonderful parks.<\/p>\n

It would be better if we did not have to find another way around Trump\u2019s dictatorial edicts, but at least this is a pretty easy one to erase.<\/p>\n

The theft of Lakewood: How \u2018affordable housing\u2019 is a cover for developer profits<\/h4>\n

Lakewood City Council\u2019s rezoning<\/a> isn\u2019t thoughtful planning. It\u2019s a green light for rushed, cheap, builder-grade development that trades functioning neighborhoods for short-term profit. Mature trees are scraped away. Fire access, water, traffic, parks and open space are treated like inconveniences, even as existing infrastructure already strains to keep up. Tens of thousands of people have been packed in over the last decade, with plans to pack in tens of thousands more, while homes sit empty and residents flee the state.<\/p>\n
