Something Missing?

Another People’s Press Collective dedicated reader just sent us a copy of Protect Colorado’s Culture of Corruption Future’s latest dishonest mailer that’s dripping with more fear mongering.  You won’t be surprised that they’re still abusing Colorado’s real heroes as puppets for their elaborate LIES: Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Honesty just isn’t [...]

Big Labor, Big (Statist) Business Banding Together on Labor Measures

by T.L. James | 4:08 pm, September 20, 2008

When you read this article at the Rocky on this year’s labor-related ballot measures, keep in mind that the “businesses” and “business leaders” referred to are the same folks who sold Colorado out on Ref.

One of People’s Press Collective’s readers sent us a scan of a campaign flyer she received from Protect Colorado’s Future: Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Now, I’m no election law attorney, but isn’t it illegal in Colorado to use public employees in their official capacity for campaigning purposes?
