2020 Annual Banquet — That’s A Wrap!
Our 41st annual banquet was once again a roaring success. What a fabulous opportunity to gather with like minded sportsmen and women in support of our shared views. And what an amazing group of people to spend time with! Lots of games, raffles, and of course our live and silent auctions were enjoyed by the crowd. All to raise funds to help with the many charitable and conservation organizations and projects we support each and every year.
Over the last few years, and so far in 2020, your chapter was busy with many projects:
• Donated $50,000 to ReThinkWolves to fight the introduction of wolves in Colorado.
• Purchased three tactical rifles for CPW law enforcement.
• Donated $8,000 to Rocky Mountain Youth Corps to remove old fence in moose and elk range.
• Donated $5,000 to Peak Military Care Network.
• Donated $3,000 to Take Action in Zimbabwe for anti-poaching K-9 officers.
• Donated $15,000 to Hudson Ranch for the new shooting range in Pueblo County.
• Donated $5,000 to Colorado Springs Amateur Hockey to help replace stolen gear.
• The Chapter donated $10,000 to Camp Wapayapi and archery equipment for kids with cancer.
• $20,000 to spearhead and purchase a Matrice 200 drone for the CPW in conjunction with GOCO—the first drone in the state for the CPW.
• Donated $15,000 for the FASTER (Faculty/Administrator Safety Training and Emergency Response) program for Colorado schools.
• Donated $6,000 for Camp Rocky for Natural Resources and Conservation Education for HS Students.
• Donated $7,500 to the Chiredzi River African Wildlife Trust for the anti-poaching program and to help feed the wildlife in the lowveld of Zimbabwe.
• Sponsored the Angels of Americas Fallen with a donation of $18,000.
• Donated $5,000 for the new rifle range for the Boy Scouts of America.
• Bought a working dog, “SCI” (Cy) for the CPW in the Colorado Springs office. The first working dog since 1987 for the Department of Wildlife
• We spent $19,638 to build the new archery pavilion at the Cheyenne Mountain Shooting Complex at Fort Carson. VP Pat Quigley did an amazing job on this project.
• We have sponsored eight schools with the Archery in the Schools Program. We will outfit another four schools this year through the great leadership from VP Dan Mersman.
This year we have an extremely important project that should be top of mind for all Colorado outdoorsmen and women, and any hunter who ever wants to hunt here in the future. The SCI Colorado chapter is working closely with a consortium of like minded conservation and agriculture organizations (Coloradans Protecting Wildlife) to help educate the public of Colorado on why the forced introduction of Canadian Timber Wolves into Colorado is a bad idea.This is an incredibly important fight that we need to win. But to do so we need to be able to fund educational activities, not for hunters our farmers, or for the anti-hunters who will not change their minds, but for the people sitting on the fence. We have to provide fact based reasons why they should vote no on this initiative. Our chapter has already contributed more than $50,000 to this effort. And while that sounds like a lot, the out of state groups that are driving the introduction of these apex predators spent 10X that amount just to get the initiative on the ballot in the first place.SO if you care about hunting and wildlife in Colorado, and don’t want to see or elk, deer, and moose herds decimated as they have been in several other western states, please make a donation to help us win this fight.
Each year at our banquet we draw the winners for our big raffle items. This year we were excited to find that two of our winners were from out of state! In fact Brett Axton, our president, was so excited that the winner of the statewide deer tag was from Pennsylvania that he called him up live on stage at nearly midnight and put him on speaker phone! So here, without further preamble are the 2020 Raffle winners:

WE ARE MORE THAN JUST FUNDRAISING
The Colorado Chapter is more than fundraising. That is a huge component of what we do, but the great thing about raising money is getting to SPEND the money on conservation projects such as habitat for Colorado Moose; Humanitarian projects like the Sportsmen Against Hunger program where we collect meat and food and donate on an ongoing basis to a dozen food banks and shelters; and the Education arm of our chapter where we are very active in the Archery in the Schools program. These are just a sample of what we do with the money we raise.
God Bless our Men and Women in uniform and we thank all of you who have done so in the past.

Lots of bear activity across the state, this bear was picked up by a security camera in Jefferson County getting into a trash can.
Bears are very intelligent and can be lured into communities due to attractants and the prospect of a free and easy meal. Removing these attractants, and hazing bears when you see them, can help encourage bears to move out of your neighborhood on their own. This reduces conflicts and keeps you and the bears safe.
Please:
- Secure your trash in a locked garage or outbuilding and ONLY place your trash outside on the morning of collection.
- Take down all birdfeeders (hummingbird, suet and seed) until Thanksgiving (including those on upper levels).
- Keep cars locked and do not leave anything with a scent in your vehicle.
- Report your sightings to your nearest CPW officer.
- Encourage your neighbors to do the same!
Thank you for your assistance in keeping Colorado’s bears wild and alive!

I would imagine drought conditions and lack of food aren’t helping. Keep the bears safe people, make sure it’s locked up. They’re having a hard enough time already.
Wayyyy to many irresponsible humans. What does one expect when encroaching on their habitat!
So many in here that have no true knowledge of the meaning of conservation. Where do you think nearly all of the money comes from for wildlife preservation and land conservation comes from? “Pittman-Robertson Act” “This partnership of hunters and sport shooters with the firearms and ammunition industry is by far America's largest contributor to wildlife conservation and public access to our natural resources.”
If only there was a spring bear season...
Hence why we need spring bear season again
Yep! Too many bears! The hunters can help you with this problem!
☹️. Repeated advice. Wish folks would pay attention.
Hazing bears? I’ll let you know how that bear swirley goes 🤪
Bring back the spring hunt!!
Help keep your community and the bears safe
Nothing new. Have trash bears show up. We need rain in the state badly.
Too many bears. When are we going to address the issue?
Lucas Hosky y'all be careful.. Bear got into a house and mauled a person
They are strong too. I saw a video of a bear wheeling away a dumpster from behind a store....like it was a shopping cart.

Can a frog jump higher than the average tent? Of course, tents can’t jump.
Just saw the update that the bear that attacked the woman who was walking home has been euthanized, aka killed. They are looking to train her two cubs to be learn to be afraid of people...perhaps they should send the cubs to Washington and live with Congress for a couple of weeks. If that doesn't make them scared of people, I don't know what else would...
Aspen homeowner attacked by bear inside home. Swipe injuries to face, neck, and head. Victim now stable but undergoing surgery. Details at cpw.state.co.us/aboutus/Pages/News-Release-Details.aspx?NewsID=7513
Uh they left the door open in bear country?? Don't be suprised if you get a critter in your house if you leave doors and windows open. Again this is normal animal behavior, could have been prevented it appears.
Another reminder....ALWAYS LOCK YOUR CARS. It's only smart to do so and could save total destruction of your car, says cath. I have even gotten up from bed to stand on the porch and lock my car remotely if "someone" has forgotten to do so.
What a shame, my prayers and thoughts are with the homeowner. Nine chances out of 10 it wasn’t the Bears fault. People feed them and bait them just to get a good picture. With any luck the bear will disappear into the woods and never return
Where in Aspen? Downtown? Probably happen where once was THEIR TERRITORY. Humans need to stop invading wild animals space.
Maybe if we had a SPRING BEAR SEASON to effectively manage the exploding population these occurrences would be more infrequent....
Colorado has to many bears! Ease hunting restrictions and increase the seasons.
I'm sorry for the person and I hope they recover from their injures. I don't think the bear should have to die though since we live in it's territory.
Bring back the Grizzly bear!!!!! It will help control the black bears and make things exciting for the unprepared hikers/backpackers too.🤔
Colorado should bring back effective methods of hunting bears.
I read some of the comments on these types of issues and many don't really get it! People always want to blame the people that are impacted by bear confrontations. Yes, sometimes people are irresponsible no doubt! Unfortunately, though many times those who have a bad incident like this are the victims of someone else's stupidity! There are many who think it's cute to feed bears (and other wildlife), get close for pictures and so on...they are ones that educate these bears not to fear humans and hanging around humans can provide an easy meal! Little do they realize they set these bears up to be killed because that's what happens once a bear gets a taste of human food! Sooner or later they will get into enough trouble where it spells the end! In summary, before blaming the person here impacted for being irresponsible, let the DOW do their job and investigate this situation. They are quite good at! Better off to spend your energy at the ones who create these situations in the first place through feeding wildlife, leaving trash around or even dog / pet food outside!
The voters took away trapping bears, spring bear season, and demand money for getting a bear license. Bring back trapping, the spring bear season, and make bear tags free and issue everyone a license with their deer or elk tag and this problem will go away.
Keep building and buying in areas that belong to wildlife taking away their food and range these things will happen, hopefully for a full recovery to the person injured
Guess if all the animals are murdered,for existing, then people can move to the innermost Forrest, then again, why did they move in nature?
Very unfortunate for everyone involved. I pray for a full recovery for this person... Unfortunately this is what happens when you allow Wildlife Management to become a ballot initiative. We lost our spring bear hunting in Colorado years ago so there are a ton of bears in that Aspen and Glenwood corridor. We lost a very important way to manage the bear populations keeping them in check. Obviously we have not learned anything from that as the Wolves are the next thing on the Colorado Ballot. It makes no sense to have Wildlife issues voted through a ballot initiative. We are giving people with no wildlife background at all to make decisions that will impact ecosystems and the health of all our wildlife in Colorado. Until we start voting no and defeating these initiatives activists and organizations outside of Colorado will continue to push their agenda. Stop the madness and vote no on managing wildlife through the ballot process! Send a message Colorado... Vote no on Wolves! Its not about wolves its about Wildlife Management the wolves are already here!
Why do I think bears are more valuable than people.
Awww...the cute little bear did that thing bears do. Good for him! Careful what you wish for hippy
I am sure this bear had acquired food near a residence before....always tragic for all.
But now the bear is labeled to die.... 🙁 🙁 thats the really sad part of the story
They want there Territory back
Hopefully the bear can be used in a museum to teach others.
Spring Bear hunt will solve these situations
Just relocate the bear to a remote wilderness area! Or work with the USF and relocate it to a remote area in any of the parks/national forests in their domain.
Aspen restaurants leave a buffet of dumpsters unlocked, only going to happen more often
People move into bear country and the bears end up paying the ultimate price for peoples ignorance, habitat stealing, and stupidity!!! FU
Our staff are currently in the process of reviewing a proposed regulation to increase spearfishing opportunities in Colorado. In general, Colorado is more restrictive than most western states. This proposed regulation change would allow for additional opportunity for spearfishing, but would likely be limited at many waters by species, size and access as well as any limitations from a water body owner or lessee. This proposed change still needs to go through internal CPW approval process and if moved forward, the Parks and Wildlife Commission would hear it for informational purposes only at the September Commission meeting. If approved to move forward it would then be an action item at the November Commission meeting.

It’s going great for Utah! People shooting bass and them releasing them to die. What great conservationists they are!
No for sure. I spend enough time working to improve our warm water fisheries with structure projects and donations for CPW’s Hatcheries to have them destroyed by this. I agree on rough fish but game fish off limits. People don’t under stand we have ponds in Colorado not true lakes and reservoirs like Texas Nebraska ect. Which can handle this type of fishing. Solid no for me.
And most western states have more water and less people than Colorado. We have very limited resources and the waters where spearfishing could even be done are extremely fragile already.
Allowing this will devastate the number of game fish in the lakes in Colorado!! We cannot let this pass!! Once you spear a fish, it is DEAD. Bad idea. Needless kills. CPW is being ridiculous to even entertain this proposal. I have already heard stories of dead, speared fish from Lake McConaughy floating in the water because the spear fisherman/woman didn't keep it. Tragic.
seeing your new governor's plans and agenda for hunting and fishing in Colo it's good that so many posters here are already in favor of limiting access to some and for more regulation. when it's your turn to be excluded or regulated out of your favorite fishn hole please remember that it's okay as long as it's for the common good and preservation of ...
Worst idea ever. I'm completely against this. It will ruin our state's prestin fishing opportunities so people can easily just wipe out all of the trophy fish in one summer. Don't do it.
Maybe if it's only targeted to invasive species but absolutely should not be allowed for sport. Need to enforce the invasive species rule though. People tend to not listen
No, just no. The main target is spawning fish so often. Not only will this throw off the balance of lakes but it will strip lakes of their best trophy opportunities from legitimate anglers. Please put a stop to this.
And good luck preventing accidents from happening! All these recreational boats out there don’t even know what the big white “Hazard” and “No Wake” buoys mean, let alone orange and red buoys protecting the divers.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife if you’re looking for consensus you have a resounding NO.
Just when you think CPW can’t screw up our fisheries anymore
No. I think it’s apparent the majority of anglers strongly oppose Spearfishing for gamefish in Colorado.
Thank you again for the hunting and fishing license requirement for SWAs. Much much much better solution than just raising the cost on hunters and fisherman again.
Let the anglers vote. I beleive they will tell you this is not a good idea.
That's a negative ghostrider. The only species in Colorado that can handle this type of harvest are rough fish. Colorado has 19 Hatcheries in the state and only 2 focus on warmwater species. Breeding fish in our reservoirs can't sustain the harvest that spearfishing demands
Spear fishing is fun I did it in Okinawa but I dont think colorado lakes could support it, let alone all the injuries that could happen in smaller bodies of water where people and boats would mix.
Completely against this. I have emailed all to inform the damage that this can and will do to our fisheries
There is absolutely no benefit here to the states fishermen.
This should absolutely NOT be allowed, as you’ve seen from my emails.
NO to spearfishing! I've sent so many emails as have so many of you guys. If you haven't yet lets get on it
I say we let the anglers of Colorado vote! This is absurd! I can't believe it's even being thought of 😠😠😠
You guys seem pretty selfish. I have lived in CO my entire life and thought more of fisherman before I read these posts. Co water does not belong to you and just bc you dont like it doesn't mean it's wrong. Yes there are a few bad apples in every crowd, including yours. As a spear fisherman I have always tried to point regular fisherman to where I've seen the fish and I've certainly never taken more than the legal limit. this is an incredible sport that our youth and adults should be able to enjoy in their own state!!!!
Absolutely devastating to our trophy fishery!!!!!!!!! Unless you are going to restock these lakes with trophy Walleye, Bass, Trout, etc. I am completely 100% against this!!!!!!!
Hell no!! Also I love this is brought up the same day that Alex Pullin (3 time Olympian and 2 time World Champion snowboarder) is killed in a spearfishing accident. Perfect timing CPW.
It’s hard to measure a fish until you kill it... I bet that a significant portion of fish get killed that are undersized and or over the slot limit. I’m very against this.
It’s official 🎉 Colorado’s getting a new state park. But work needs to be done before the public can visit.
The property near Trinidad is home to the 9,633-foot Fishers Peak and a diverse array of wildlife and flora. Master-planning efforts are underway to create a park that will protect the natural treasures found there while welcoming visitors, including hunters, hikers, mountain bikers, wildlife watchers and other outdoor enthusiasts.

Developing Colorado's 42nd state park is not as simple as opening the gates and inviting the public.
We don't camp at Colorado state parks. We aren't going to pay a day use fee on top of a camping fee.
Awesome! Great news. Can't wait for it to be open.
Can’t even take care of or maintain our parks and fishing now what makes you think this ones gonna be better?? Oh I know, more money from out of state tourism
I quit going to state parks. Boring and overrated....
Yet still no money to fix the broken leaking flood gates at Two Buttes Buttes reservoir. We were promised several years ago funding was approved and gates would get fixed. Seems rural Colorado is being ignored.
Can't even take maintain the parks that you have now. Utterly ridiculous!
If you don't have enough money to open Lone Mesa State Park how can you possibly have enough money purchase and open an new one?
More less more money from the hunters and fishermen what a joke
Do we have to buy a hunting license to go here?
Meanwhile, they close and drain a reservoir like Bonny Dam, which was the only recreational park in Eastern Colorado. I guess it's all about out of state tourists and areas where the wealthy live instead of providing (or even keeping) something for rural Coloradans.

"“We are concerned for the safety of backcountry campers, as this bear has become an issue,” said Kristin Cannon, Deputy Regional Manager for CPW’s Northeast Region. “For the time being, we feel it is best to keep campers safe and close down the area." No, dummy, it's a PROBLEM, not an issue. The neanderthals of the CPW will probably kill it, anyway.
I've been working in Castle Rock for a couple of months now. This map shows the amount of dead animals I have seen on the highway during that time. Red is south bound green is north bound. It is a kill zone and we should do something about it.
Each June, our biologists and technicians capture and spawn arctic grayling at Joe Wright Reservoir. The eggs are collected, raised in the hatcheries and the fish are restocked at lakes across the state. Although grayling are not native to Colorado, they are prized by anglers.
Check it out 👇🏾
Pike, smallmouth, and walleye are also prized by anglers, but you don’t care about what we want.
Great Video! We Thank you for your efforts, as our family caught our 1st graylings this year & boy are we hooked! Do you have any videos like this of the Trappers Lake cutthroat spawn??? We watched CPW officers there last year doing this same thing.
According to an Alaskan native the the most he had fishing was catching grayling
Prized by what Anglers? The ones that came here out of state? You all always say Non-native is bad and we shouldn’t do it, yet here we are. Division of wildlife is a joke
Okay so I love all fish and I love fishing, but why are these prized and carp villainized? Neither are native.
Them greyling are pretty cool fish
Wanted to catch the spawn this year but missed it. Last year zi had a great day of catch and release.
Just like alaska
So, a non native fish is purposely introduced for sport fishing? I thought we were trying to keep non native species out of our Lakes and streams.
They are beauties
Is it true tiger musky and tiger trout live there too?
Theresa Ankele Estrada Def stocked the Dirt this spring, this year is the 1st for these guys
call and complain
Steve Estrada Adam Ankele Bet they were stocked at the dirts!

Great news.
Great news! The bear rescued from the East Canyon Fire is on the mend.We received great news from our rehabilitation facility! The bear that was rescued outside of the East Canyon Fire is doing very well and has even gained some weight. The bear is almost ready to have its bandages taken off and should be released in the coming weeks.
hope he will be okay on his own. Thank you for taking care of him.
So glad to hear thank you for all your care for this bear 😊👍🏻👏🏻
Poor little guy that you guys are doing such an awesome job getting him back to health 😍🤗
Great job Michael!
Wonderful news! 💙 Thanks for the update. I'm surprised it hasn't chewed off the bandages. Maybe a little tender yet
So glad to hear this. Poor sweet baby.
Cheryl, update on the bear that was injured in the fire near Durango a few weeks ago. He’s doing great!
Happy for him..so sad about his mom
The bear doesn’t look old enough to survive on it’s own. Is there “bear” school to learn those survival skills?
Thanks to all that cared for him. YEA a Good Success story THANK YOU
Poor baby. Lost his mom too. 💔💔 Thank you for rescuing him and lovingly bringing him back to health. God Bless y’all.
Thank you CPW for the update on the bear!
The cute little fellow can become Smokey Bear - Next Generation
Thank you CPW for helping this sweet crittter and for all you do everyday!!❤️🐻
great result- I almost want to take him home.
Yay! He looks likes he’s wearing high top sneakers! 🙂
Thank you for your good work!
Looks like ouch still.
Oh, such a little cinnamon baby! <3
Wonderful!
So glad

Keep your snacks to yourself. #livelifeoutsideco
Please also pick up your dog poop you put in a plastic bag and left it on the trails. I understand some people plan to pick it back up on their way down but this is not the case over and over. Why put it in a plastic bag if you have no plans to retrieve it.
As nice as it is to see the wild animals, it's never a good idea to feed wildlife. If you want to feed animals, go to a petting zoo.
If you can’t step around horse poop, stay in town.
There is no "POOP FAIRY" PEOPLE. Show some responsibility if your going to have a pet!
Seriously...I have been stalked by chipmunks wanting my granola mix...
Clean up your camp site when you are done
Anyone who has Acorns in their trail mix is clearly crushing it! Keep on keeping on!
Leave dog poop there. There ISa fairly
And your Cheetos...

Feel free to pass fines out for no PFDs as well please and thank you
Lon hagler would be a great place to patrol
He'll set up camouflage fort mow those sob down. it's against the letter of the law to be outside much less to have fun.
You mean CPW actually out doing their jobs?? Shoot I've never seen them out of their trucks.
How about speeding and noise pollution?
Hey CPW, does this apply to mororized craft only, or do self powered craft like canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards count?

Here's 5 ways to support your wild neighbors in Colorado during a pandemic and beyond.
coloradooutdoorsmag.com
Show gratitude for the flourishing wilderness around us; Respect and protect your outdoor community.
Finally getting the non hunting and fishing community to pay their dues for using the land. Congratulations!
I thought that was the reason for buying a habitat stamp, now all non hunters have to buy a hunting or fishing license. Keep upping those fees and soon no one will use those lands. Or is this your way to be able to sell off to the oil and gas companies.
Didn't realize the animals were buying into the whole pandemic bs
I think I support them pretty good cuz you overcharge us for everything But you wont do nothing about the deer wasting away in the cities!!!
Great article. It’s up to all of us to be wise & nurturing.
Nurture Nature - kill it. Wicked smaht...just hunt the ones on two legs, it's more gratifying.
What pandemic?
It's going to be a BIG weekend in the Colorado outdoors.
Let's all #RecreateResponsibly 🏔🇺🇸
Leave No Trace! If it’s not natural it doesn’t belong on the ground. If you are not part of the solution, then you are still part of the problem.
Already have seen two campfires in the county
There are no limits or enforcement at the parks. It’s to the point that we won’t even go to a park anymore. Same for the Platte and the tubers and trash.
Is there a fire ban right now ? And if so what’s it mean
Dow is never around when it comes to touristis its the money but they all way check the local people
Watch out for Deadnecks, they're breeding faster than we can get rid of them

Is there no stocking happening?
The spawn must go on! 🐟❄️
#conservation never stops - even for a blizzard in June.
Our team encountered a blizzard and 34-degree temperatures at Zimmerman Lake while conducting our greenback cutthroat trout spawning operation. Full story: cpw.state.co.us/aboutus/Pages/News-Release-Details.aspx?NewsID=7501
Pretty normal for this time of year, but I will trade a Montana blizzard for a Colorado blizzard.
The spawn must go on. Beauties.
Happy to see they have masks on!
My daughter got snowed out camping in the Medicine Bow. Never a dull weather moment in the Rockies. ⚡☔❄❄
What’s a little snow in Colorado. Moisture needed.
Summer in the Rockies!
Pretty normal I'd say.
Nicely done👍

Colorado Conservation at work!
On Monday, Governor Jared Polis joined us and our partners from the Colorado Legislature, Colorado Department of Natural Resources, The Colorado Nature Conservancy, The Trust for Public Land, Great Outdoors Colorado - GOCO and Trinidad Mayor Phil Rico at the Fishers Peak Property to sign three bills dedicated to Colorado's natural resources.
* Senate Bill 3 provides $1M toward the expedited opening of Colorado's newest state park on this amazing property.
* House Bill 1403 provides funding for important Colorado Water Conservation Board construction projects.
* Senate Bill 201 allocates funding for threatened and endangered species in Colorado.
We're proud to stand alongside these partners to advance our work in conserving Colorado's natural resources.
Governor Jared Polis
FISHERS PEAK: I’m excited to be back in Trinidad to sign a bill officially making Fishers Peak the newest Colorado State Park!
Thank you for signing the bill for a new state park! And also thank you for modeling that you can wear a mask even while making a speech!
I do believe that all Americans deserve a calming voice, that guides us . Wearing a mask is a political statement now. Tourists are " flocking to Colorado now . Cases are going up. I love real life,but for now,.... please enforce the masks.
Wearing mask is a choice. A unselfish and health promoting choice. Thank you for being a responsible leader.
I’m just here to see all of the comments from people who do not know the difference between a State Park and a State Wildlife Area (SWA). Those are the people who just love to complain about nothing!
Everyone is still afraid to give Sportsmen their due. We contributed 7.7 million to the purchase. But no mention again. What would the CPW be without the sportsmen? Maybe the Sportsmen need to have a huge protest.
I'm sure covid was in the air, you jack wagon!
That’s great! Governor Jared Polis now please appoint a responsible CPW board member to replace William Bray.
Sure would be great if someone from CPW Ranching for wildlife would respond to my inquiry. I've been waiting for 15 days now. Voice mails and emails sent.
While your in Trinidad get them to do something about Monument Lake Resort. It has such potential. Find a professional to operate it that will improve the facility.
Where's the money for the funding coming from ....
Polis don't care about squat!!
No social distancing in that video. Goose see gander.
Hmm important water projects, are you not saying something by not saying something
The more land we can conserve the better.
great tie up more public lands
More debt this guy is going to sink us.
Trista Rich yay for more state parks to explore
Looks like you guys DO get tax money after all. And still raising fees on public land for entry (fishing or hunting licenses PLUS. park pass needed for entry!).
Timothy Ashe
Stop attacking the church! You allow riots and protests. You even encourage them!! Stop harassing citizens
Exciting news
Dick.
Where is he getting all of this money? Colorado three and a half billion in the hole.
