From the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary


Isn’t the election on A thru I we are witnessing today in Denver a perversion of the truth, a perversion of the true will of the citizens of Denver?

A million dollars spent to run ads, call every voter, send people to the front door to collect ballots of favorable voters. All this is funded through the large contributions of those who will benefit from the money collected?

What is the difference between this and just throwing away the NO votes?

The Denver Post is outraged when Gov. Ritter issues an executive order on a Friday afternoon. The truth is that Mayor J-Hic’s A thru I campaign is a time-release version of the same high-handed approach to government.

Voters of Denver who are outraged need to return their ballots today! Sitting on your ballot in protest just plays into the hands of those who are trying to short-circuit our representative system of government. Just vote NO on A thru I.

Voting NO is not enough. Email and telephone your friends, encouraging them to do the same. For more reasons to vote NO see my posts here over the last few weeks.
