To Representative Doug Lamborn and Senators Udall and Bennet Re: NPR

Representative Doug Lamborn, Senator Mark Udall, and Senator Michael Bennet, You will not receive my vote in any re-election for supporting a bill or amendment to rid NPR of federal funding. I spent 18 months being under-employed in Colorado Springs. Instead of working on getting jobs here, instead you decide to put your political efforts into defunding NPR? Where are the jobs? Why don't you spend your efforts fixing the tax loop-hole that allowed GE to make $5.1 billion in profit and not pay a single dime in taxes? I vote independent. I support public radio and NPR.

Dyson Authorized Service Centers in Colorado Springs

Huckabee's Not-So-Subtle Jab at Palin

If you can't directly attack a potential GOP nominee, why not go after someone from Hollywood? Which comment do you think Huckabee is aiming at Bristol and Sarah Palin? The "nannies and caretakers and nurses" or "poor, uneducated" and without "government assistance"? "There aren't really a lot of single moms out there who are making millions of dollars every year for being in a movie. And I think it gives a distorted image that yes, not everybody hires nannies and caretakers and nurses. Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can't get a job, and if it weren't for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and never have health care..." http://content.usatoday.com/communities/onpolitics/post/2011/03/mike-huckabee-slams-natalie-portman-pregnancy/1
