The "Strong Mayor" ballot question is 10 pages long, with 70 different amendments, & it changes all 3 branches of government. "Strong Mayor" is illegal on it’s face because Section 1-2 of Pueblo's 1954 Charter requires a "Charter Convention" to be convened for any changes to our form of government. "Strong Mayor" adds insult to injury by eliminating that very "Charter Convention" clause for eternity, threatening Pueblo's local Home Rule sovereignty.  # pueblopolitics   # bigdaddystrange

"A chartered city, county or municipality is one that possesses a unique set of laws that forms the legal foundation of its local system of government. The actual legal document that articulates these laws is called a charter. Charters stand in relationship to a county, city, village or town the same way that a state constitution does to a state or a federal constitution does to a nation. They define the powers and functions of elected officials as well as the organization and procedures of local government." xxx The Athenians called their democratic "city-state" a "polis", because they were referring to the body of citizens - the white male landowners - who ran the Athenian city-state as one collective democratic political assembly. Athens is the first democracy in the world. Athens consisted of the City of Athens & the surrounding territory of Attica. Democracy was born in City of Athens, cradled by the Land of Attica.

Aug 26th, 2016- Colin sits and this time he is met with a level of vitriol unseen against an athlete. Even the future President of the United States took shots at him while on the campaign trail. Colin went on to explain his protest had NOTHING to with the military, but he felt it hard to stand for a flag that didn't treat people of color fairly. Then on on Aug 30th, 2016 Nate Boyer, a former Army Green Beret turned NFL long snapper, penned an open letter to Colin in the Army Times. In it he expressed how Colin's sitting affected him. Then a strange thing happened. Colin was able to do what most Americans to date have not... He listened. In his letter, Mr. Boyer writes: "I’m not judging you for standing up for what you believe in. It’s your inalienable right. What you are doing takes a lot of courage, and I’d be lying
