Have you spoken out? What do you think of this letter
I just sent to Denver newspapers:

Denver voters should send a clear message
with the ballots now being received in the mail.

Just like the hippies put women & kids up front in
confrontations with the police in demonstrations
in the 60's, Mayor J-Hic forms , staffs, and then
marches behind "citizen committees" which stifle
any organized opposition from forming.

Preschool kids, the arts, Denver teachers, a new jail,
have all been subject to J-Hic's "women & children up
front" campaigning. Is Denver better? No.

How well has J-Hic's "citizen committee" worked with the
homeless problem in Denver? Take a walk through civic
center park and decide for yourself.

$1 million has been amassed from those who will
get the $550 million from what has been called by
one concerned leader, "an alphabet soup grab for
cash." The million dollars is being called "a good
investment." This is an end-run around representative
democracy. It is Enron-style politics. (See article
from Denver Post, below.)

Wake up Denver! Stop the insanity! Just vote no on A thru I.

The campaign to pass a $550 million bond package and tax increase in Denver has raised $1 million in less than a month, mostly in large chunks from groups that stand to gain the most.

Financial reports filed today show the Better Denver campaign received donations of at least $100,000 from the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, the Colorado Symphony Association, the Denver Botanic Gardens, homebuilder MDC Holdings Inc. and Hensel Phelps Construction Co.

Of that group, the museum gave the most: $300,000…

Better Denver also received $25,000 each from Mayor John Hickenlooper's re-election campaign, Xcel Energy, Stapleton developer Forest City, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and the Downtown Denver Partnership.

Various members of the Anschutz Corp. gave the campaign a total of $22,000.
