A 2012 Republican Strategy for Congress
January 11th, 2012 | 
Author: A series of votes can clarify the differences between the two parties on energy, taxes, spending and regulation.
Americans are frustrated over Washington’s inability to address our nation’s economic and fiscal problems. That’s why I have been working with a growing group of senators and House members to develop a plan that can build public support for solutions. It’s called “America’s Choice.”
America’s Choice seeks to highlight the differences between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party led by President Obama. It could do so over the coming months by presenting to the country, through a series of votes in the House of Representatives, the battle between those who believe in broadest terms in limited government and freedom and those who promote government control and dependency.

“Are You Better Off Than You Were Four Years Ago?”
By GERALD F. SEIB
President Barack Obama, who made history in 2008 by becoming the first African-American elected president, would like to notch another historic achievement next year.
He will try to win re-election while likely saddled with a higher unemployment rate than any other president seeking a second term in 76 years.
Mr. Obama undoubtedly would prefer to forgo that distinction, but there is no escaping the harsh economic backdrop that will mark the campaign of 2012. The economic malaise sets the stage for a presidential contest that analysts in both parties expect to be very close, and a much tougher haul for the president than his election in 2008, when he became the first Democrat in 32 years to win a majority of the national vote.

Predictions difficult on Lobato education-funding case in Colorado Supreme Court
A landmark education lawsuit appears headed to the Colorado Supreme Court, but it’s possible the court won’t have the final say, if justices are evenly split on the case.
How might that happen? Court observers say such a scenario is possible if Monica Marquez, one of the court’s seven justices, recuses herself because of her previous work on the case as a deputy attorney general. A recusal would create the potential for a 3-3 split on the court, and in that event, the lower court’s ruling in Lobato vs. Colorado would stand. Read the rest of this entry »

“33 is 33″ Party
As many of you may already be aware, our wonderful House District 33 Representative Don Beezley is NOT going to be running for re-election in 2012. This is a sad loss for our district as Don was one of a kind and will be missed.
As you also know, we NEED to maintain 33 members of the House to keep our Republican Majority to ensure that our conservative principles are represented in the Legislature, as well as to block bad legislation put forth by the liberals in our State.
We are lucky to have an experienced young leader named Dave Pigott who has stepped up and is running for House District 33 against the tax and spend, union backed, liberal Diane Primavera. There is a reason we made a change from the progressive agenda of Primavera in 2010; we, HD33 made the decision to elect a principled conservative in Don Beezley and Dave will continue to lead our community to liberty and prosperity.

BIG TROUBLE FOR BIG O: Obama Down To 39% Approval Rating In Colorado
|
A recently released Ciruli Associates poll shows Barack Obama in deep trouble in Colorado, with only 39% of voters approving of his job performance. 53% of Coloradans disapprove of his performance. His reception is even chillier on the Western Slope, where only 32% approve. The poll was conducted December 1-6 with 500 registered voters who either voted in the 2008 election or are newly registered.
This poll is a bad sign for the President as Colorado has been called one of the most pivotal states to Obama’s re-election by strategists from Karl Rove to Obama’s campaign manager, Jim Messina. Colorado’s chief prognosticator, Governor Hickenlooper, recently told Reuters in an interview, “Certainly a Republican could easily win here.” Hickenlooper has dipped his toe into the waters of prophesy before, saying in July, Obama “will have a hard time” winning Colorado. If polls like this continue to come out, “a hard time” may be a vast understatement. |
Ciruli Associates has been ranked as the Colorado Democrats shoot down rule to inform parents of school employees’ arrest
By Sara Burnett
The Denver Post
Democratic lawmakers on Wednesday shot down a State Board of Education rule requiring school districts to notify parents when a district employee is arrested or charged with certain crimes.
The party-line vote by the legislature’s Committee on Legal Services means the rule — which was opposed by the Colorado Education Association and the Colorado Association of School Boards — will effectively expire May 15.
Lawmakers said the state board did not have the authority to issue the rule, which gives school districts 24 hours to alert parents after learning that an employee has been arrested or charged with any felony or some misdemeanors. Those charges include misdemeanor sex assault, child abuse or driving under the influence if the employee’s job includes transporting children. Read the rest of this entry »
