Reading the Tea Leaves in Brittain

by Al Maurer | 9:54 pm, May 6, 2010

The parliamentary elections in the UK this week hold some lessons for us. As a long time observer of the British system, I have a perspective I’m going to share. Their parliamentary system is different from our presidential system. I made a few comments about that in The Role of Parties last summer. What their [...]

May Day/Che Day/Amnesty Rally in Denver

by T.L. James | 9:27 pm, May 3, 2010

In case you missed it (easy enough), there was a pro-amnesty rally at the Capitol last Saturday: And unlike at those violent, racist, hate-filled, anti-government Tea Party rallies we’ve been warned about, this one was as peaceful and cuddly as a puppy: [photos via hyperspoon]

The SEIU Political Party

by Al Maurer | 12:18 pm, April 29, 2010

Apparently donating to parties and candidates, even sponsoring candidates like Colorado’s Betsy Markey doesn’t go far enough for Andy Stern’s union. It is reported that SEIU is forming its own political party in North Carolina called North Carolina First. They could call it anything they want I suppose but the point seems to be to [...]

Denver Tax Day Tea Party 2010: Wrap-Up Report

by T.L. James | 10:34 pm, April 15, 2010

Some short notes on the 2010 Denver Tax Day Tea Party, along with some more media items: The crowd reports I’ve seen so far put the attendance in the 2000+ range. This seems to be a bit low, based on what I saw and on experience from previous rallies. Plus, this doesn’t account for the [...]

Tax Day Tea Party Speech

by Al Maurer | 9:31 pm, April 15, 2010

I was privileged today to have a few minutes to speak to the crowd at Acacia Park in Colorado Springs. I kept fiddling with the wording, but for those who weren’t there, this is awfully close to what I said: Good morning fellow Patriots! It’s a great day to be an American. About 160 years [...]

Colorado Springs Tea Party

by Al Maurer | 9:29 pm, April 15, 2010

The crowd gathered early (above). Richard Randall from KVOR, who emceed last year and this, said the crowd looked bigger this time. I didn’t have his view last year, but it certainly didn’t seem any smaller to me. At one point somebody on stage asked for a show of hands of people who came last [...]

Tax Day Tea Party 2010

by Al Maurer | 6:26 pm, April 12, 2010

Who can believe that it’s been a year already! Not me. But it is and this time around there are many more tea parties planned for Colorado and I’ll be they are going to be larger, too.  I might even be speaking in Colorado Springs. So far, I know about: Denver – 10:00 am to [...]
