Kennedy was assassinated. 2,997 people died in the 9/11 attacks. It brought us together as a country, unified us to remember those who were lost, the valiant police, fireman, and EMT’s that sacrificed their lives to save others.

Total Contributions: $51, 301 I am proud to be an American, as many, many Americans are. Many are not vocal, for they have learned they can quickly become a target, even in a country known for its free Total Donations: 150 dom of expression. It appears that right only belongs to a small group now, identified by the media as oppressed peoples. I am beginning to feel oppressed. What about the number of young blacks killed in Chicago every day? What about the number of black families that do not have a father figure because they are in jail? Where are the concerns on those issues? Our professional, well paid, athletes should maybe look at working to solve those issues. Many people are getting a bit more than frustrated about the continuous beating Lori Saine self contributions (7,193) (2) Less contributions over $400 ( 34,500) (11) Balance: 9606 137 Of that: In District: 6703 87 Out of District: 2903 50 down of what America has stood for over 220 years. I support our President and I believe we all, by working together, can make American Great again. It should not matter whether Follow the Money: you are a Democrat or Republican, but we are not there yet.
How are our political parties doing? I guess it depends on who you ask. The National Of Contributions over $400: 34,500 11 Democratic Party seems to have forsaken everybody except the extreme left in its party. It In District: 2600 3 is as if they are the new center of the world. I am afraid that is going to turn out to be a big Out of District: 33,600 8 disappointment for the DNC in November. There are a great many Americans, Democrats, Or Republicans and Unaffiliated, who feel that the Democratic Party has abandoned them. If you still live in a big city, you have to ask what has the Democratic Party done for your 92.5% of Donations over $400 city, other than drive it into the ground. The impact of COVID 19 on the economic revenue streams to the cities will be horrific and I predict we will be looking at multiple major city bankruptcies. Since the South Carolina black vote put Biden over the top it seems that Came From Outside District 3! the DNC has forgotten about the Hispanic voters and immigrations issues. How can they do that? It is America and you really do have a right to be stupid. Some people continual You have to wonder where will Lori demonstrate that. The U.S. senator race between John Hickenlooper and Cory Gardner is quite a specSaine’s loyalties & priorities be? tacle. Whether you like Cory Gardener or not you have to agree he has done an awful lot for the entire state of Colorado. Take a look at a portion of what he has accomplished in Analysis Completed by The Tributary Research Staff the article later in the paper. It represents a lot of federal money that he has worked hard to obtain for many different projects throughout the state of Colorado. John Hickenlooper whines that Gardner is a Trump man, therefore evil. Well look at what Gardener has LETTER TO THE EDITOR achieved versus what Hickenlooper has.

The concept of Weld County Board of County Commissioner church! At-Large-Positions is a joke. Lori Saine, if elected, will just be another addition to that To my friends and neighbors: Republican, Demomentality. That, however, is up to all us.

Mike Welch provides that option. Of course, because he is a Democrat, many ment here in Colorado, it is time we RISE up as the snicker. But maybe that is what we need.
