many of us here have been paying very close attention to Ferguson. In a very real sense, we could be next, sooner or later.

Discussions of racism are met with predictable eye-rolling and dismissed as "librul" hyperbole. But reality is what it is. You may have noticed my occasional posts about our candidates, maybe a bit too frequent for some, but their opponents should frighten the crap out of people. I have asserted, and will continue to do so, that both Buck (DA) and Cooke (sheriff) deem a Hispanic surname to be sufficient 'probable cause'; it's part of the public record. Republicans constitute roughly a bit more than a third of the voting population, followed by unaffiliated and Democrats; but republicans have controlled the county commission for twenty years, and the Greeley city council is starting to follow that trend.

Buck wants the CD-4 seat being vacated by Cory Gardner.
Our guy in that race is Vic Meyers www.vicmeyers.com

Cooke wants the state senate seat being vacated by Scott "Leviticus" Renfroe.
Our guy is Joe Perez www.joeforsd13.com
