The Occupy Denver lawsuit is about Democratic Mayor Hancock using hundreds of police and very minor laws in a constant effort to drive away Occupy's supporters, who, in the main , come from the Democratic Party rank and file. The constant presence of multiple police cars there is a 24/7 warning to all supporters to stay away, Especially rank and file Democrats, who are the majority of attendees.
Actions against Occupy Denver by Democratic Mayor Hancock have caused the turnout by supporters to drop precipitously from nearly 3000 as reported by the Denver Post, to just a few hundred. If that isn't evidence of a planned effort to shut down the protest, what would be? Machine Gunning them, like at Ludlow, CO?

The title quote, uttered by President Obama to describe the choice we have in the 2010 elections, captures the essence of the on-going struggle between humanity's inner-angels and inner-demons, a struggle which produces the realization of both our dreams and our nightmares, depending on which prevails in any given moment of history.
What follows is a full exposition of the meaning of the title phrase, including its significance in U.S. and World History, to the U.S. Constitution, and to the Colorado gubernatorial and U.S. Senate races of 2010.

Denver Post is reporting that Hickenlooper is announcing his pick for Lt. Governor at 11:15am today.
Hickenlooper's announcement will be made at his campaign headquarters, 789 Sherman St. in Denver.
At least one source is saying that Hick's pick is CSU-Pueblo President Joe Garcia.

Since the media found out Scott McInnis plagiarized something he was paid $2000 a page for and then shirked responsibility for said plagiarism, Hickenlooper's polling is pulling ahead of his Conservative cribbing opponent for the first time.
But on Scott McInnis' facebook fanpage you can see a few examples of people who don't mind that he did what he did and will still emphatically support him.
What does this show? In part it proves some Republicans don't care about competent work. They don't care about honesty or personal responsibility in their leaders. In the face of uncomfortable facts, some people can manage to rationalize and ultimately discount demonstrations of unscrupulous actions. But this is nothing new, as Allison Kilkenny of Citizen Radio (link on the sidebar) wrote about last week, people would rather cling to some strongly held beliefs, even when evidence show those beliefs to be false.
In addition to that, she happens to have a few paragraphs on cheating:

TPM is reporting that the GOP Governor's had their highest fund raising quarter ever.The Republican Governors Association has announced a very strong fundraising quarter, taking in $19 million from April through June -- their largest fundraising quarter ever -- with $40 million in cash on hand for this year's statehouse races.
From the RGA's press release: "The RGA's previous largest fundraising quarter occurred in the 4th quarter of 2009, when it raised $11.9 million. This quarter RGA raised $18.9 million. The RGA's former mid-year fundraising record was $15.1 million. RGA is at $28 million this year - almost double the earlier record. In 2006, the last comparable election year, the RGA raised $28 million for the entire year." (Emphasis in the original.)
We can overcome cash advantages with grass roots efforts and good candidates. Let's all get behind Hick and work on convincing the unconvinced that a return to Republican control can harm all of Colorado. With redistricting and budgets on the table, it's hugely important.

If you have not seen it, the Republcan Governor's Association is trying to position Hickenlooper as a high taxing, job-ending politician. It claims:
- Frontier moved because of high taxes
- 39,000 jobs lost due to Denver taxes
- 100,000 jobs lost due to taxes on gas and oil
We need to know more about the funding source of this group, publicize its inaccurate estimates of jobs lost. Jobs were lost in Colorado and the United States due to the no-tax, no-regulation policies of the Republicans, and they need to be painted with this.
