Former state senator Kevin Lundberg discusses what is happening at the Colorado State Legislature and Governor’s office and how it affects your life. Lundberg has announced plans to engage in discussions about upcoming bills every Tuesday throughout the current legislative session, signaling a proactive approach to legislative review and debate. Lundberg voiced concerns that the Democratic party, along with the House, has become dominated by what he describes as radicals, indicating a tense political atmosphere and a call for a more moderate or balanced approach to governance. Underlining the critical nature of the current political landscape, Lundberg has placed a significant emphasis on the act of voting in this session, suggesting that the outcomes of these legislative processes are more crucial now than ever. Adding to the complexity of the situation, Lundberg highlights a concerning trend within the state legislature, claiming that approximately one-third of its members have been appointed rather than elected. This point raises questions about the democratic process and the representation of the electorate’s will within the legislative body, potentially fueling further debate on the integrity and accountability of the state’s legislative practices.

Kim Monson's Quote of the Day:
February 6, 2024

If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it.

Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens on November 30, 1835, in Florida, Missouri, is one of America’s most celebrated authors and humorists. Known for his sharp wit and incisive social critiques, Twain’s work captures the essence of 19th-century American life. His most famous novels, “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” (1876) and its sequel, “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” (1885), often referred to as the “Great American Novel,” delve into themes of freedom, morality, and societal norms through the adventures of their young protagonists. Twain’s writing was heavily influenced by his own experiences and the complexities of American society, including issues of race, class, and imperialism. Beyond his novels, Twain was a prolific writer of essays, short stories, and non-fiction, often using humor to critique human nature and social injustices. He passed away on April 21, 1910, leaving a legacy as a master storyteller and a critical observer of American life.
