Fort Collins v PUC Public Utilities Commission of Colorado, 1921 “Neither an act of legislature, referred or unreferred, nor an initiated law (emphasis added), can recall any power or privilege granted by the constitution.” (Fort Collins v.

Forecast of D60 Schools

D60 Schools are Totalitarian, 100%, completely totalitarian. There's no Freedom or Democracy there, and that's precisely what I want: a school that values Freedom & Democracy, from the top-down. Dennis Maes, the John Quincy Adams of Pueblo City, Mr. Old Skool, & Taylor Voss, the Garrison Ortiz of D60, Mr. New Skool are 2 new faces on the 5 member board. The humble Obama, Kenny O'Neal, was booted out. Pueblo City's humble Obama didn't use his 5 months on the skool board to turn the failing skools around, so Pueblo City's 16% - the winning majority voters out of a generous gestimate of a 31% turnout rate - went with chicano Mr. Old Skool & caucasian Mr. New Skool instead of humble Obama. Pueblo City is made up of 2% Black, 44% Hispanic, 54% White, and the voting reflected that. Maes & Voss will have to work with Fuhrer Macaluso, and as long as she's Chief Executive of D60 schools, my kids won't go there. Charlotte Macaluso One study came ou

The Chaplinsky decision was wrong, Orwellian-wrong

The best defense against the Chaplinsky decision is the Chaplinsky case.  Walter Chaplinsky was attacked, many times. James Bowering the Rochester Marshal, witnessed one attempted attack. After James Bowering leaves, a man named Bowman attempts to spear Walter Chaplinsky with a flagpole. As Walter Chaplinsky was pinned up against a car with the flagpole, he was attacked several more times by others. Then James Bowering returns, and surprisingly, attacks Walter Chaplinsky himself. James Bowering called Walter Chaplinsky a "son of a bitch" and an "unpatriotic dog", while hitting Walter with several body blows. James Bowering then pushes Walter Chaplinsky to the police station, and while James & the mob around him were taunting Walter, Chaplinsky finally called James Bowering a "fascist". Not only did James Bowering use "fighting words" against Walter Chaplinsky, over & over again ("son of a bitch", "unpatriotic dog"),

On The Origin of the "Fighting Words" Doctrine

Order of Events: 1- On April 6, 1940, Walter Chaplinsky, a Jehovah's witness Christian, was on a sidewalk - a public sidewalk - in downtown Rochester, New Hampshire, peacefully passing out "The Watchman", the literature of his Christian sect, & preaching the Holy Word of the Good Book of the Lord. 2- While Walter Chaplinksy was on that New Hampshire sidewalk, peacefully passing out religious literature, he was attacked, multiple times. 3- Some people verbally battered him because they didn't like Jehovah's witnesses, and their principle of not saluting the flag. 4- One anti-Jehovah's witness (Rochester Man #1) attempted to attack Walter Chaplinsky in full view of James Bowering, the town marshal, an ex-semi-pro football player. 5- James Bowering did not arrest Rochester Man #1, but James Bowering instead warns Walter Chaplinsky that Walter was in danger. 6- After James Bowering left, a Rochester man (Rochester Man #2, ["Bowman"]) attempted to imp

The state of the Colorado Delegation (1-12-18)

Colorado has 2 US Senators: Michael Bennet & Cory Gardner. Michael Bennet is a Democrat. Cory Gardner is a Republican. Gardner is the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, ranking him 6th in the Senate Republican leadership, according to Wikipedia. Neither Senator is up for reelection this year. xxx All 7 of the US Representatives are up for reelection this year, as they are every 2 years, as are the State Representatives for Colorado. Every 2 years, every single representative could lose their seats, but this here is America. 95% of them will regain their seats. If the non-voting 65% actually voted, shit would change. Out of Colorado's 7 US Representatives, 3 are Democrats (Jared Polis, Ed Perlmutter, & Diana DeGette) & 4 are Republicans (Ken Buck, Doug Lamborn, Mike Coffman, & Scott R. Tipton). Jared Polis, who is running for Colorado Governor, & Ed Perlmutter are both stepping down from their US Representative posts. Diana DeGette is the l

The Revolutionary & Progressive 1911 Charter of Pueblo City: A Timeline

THE 1st US Charter Convention "I long to hear that you have declared an independency. And, by the way, in the new code of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation. [Y]our sex are naturally tyrannical is a truth so thoroughly established as to admit of no dispute." ~Abigail On November 15, 1777, after 16 months of debate, the United States (2nd Continental Congress) pass their 1st Charter (i.e. Constitution): The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union. A guiding principle of the 1st American Charter Convention was to preserve the independ
