Koch Brothers Corruption Enterprises coming to Vail this Sunday (Poll!)

UPDATE#3/4: The Denver Post owner or editors don't care to inform its readers has an AP version of the story up now.

UPDATE#2: Here's some Vail Daily News coverage.

UPDATE: Here's some Colorado Independent coverage by Joseph Boven.

The Koch Brothers Corruption Enterprise is coming to Vail Sunday for a meeting of big energy, anti-tax, anti-worker and political operatives. Dan Maes was the Tea Party canidate for Governor this last time out. Imagine the shitstorm of anti-union, pro-big-energy and anti-democratic battles we'd be fighting now if he had won. We already know what the Koch Brothers are after.

Word on the street is the Brothers and their minions will be at the Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Creek in Avon.

Vail and Avon may well take their money for hotels and lunches and fancy conference rooms, but will Coloradans take the bitter medicine prescribed by these greedy quacks to be administered by their local Nurse Ratcheds?

Vote for one or more Nurse Ratcheds below....

UPDATE: Colorado Common Cause is on the case - if you can be there, do it:

Time: Sunday, June 26 ยท 11:00am - 1:00pm
Location: We'll meet up at Nottingham Lake Park at 1 Lake Street in Avon, CO

Colorado No. 2 in carcinogen-laced "fracking" fluids

Democratic Governor Hickenlooper: "I think we should drill the living daylights out of natural gas and cut regulation"

Hick got a pass on his pro-corporate, anti-citizen stance the first time out. What does he say about the latest extraction methods of his former associates as they further degrade the environment in the search of that last ounce of fossil fuels sitting under Colorado's landscape?

Udall faults our contnuing dependence on foreign oil

by: Zappatero

Thu Mar 03, 2011 at 09:35:03 AM MST

It's not Mark, it's Senator Tom Udall, the one who's not afraid to make his case and propose significant policy options to reduce our dependence on foreign oil:

Events that continue to unfold in the Middle East and Northern Africa have once again exposed our country's Achilles heel -- an addiction to foreign oil.

We really are addicted to any and all oil - not just foreign. Even Bush 43 knew that. While Neocons wants us to engage in another Arab country (two wars aren't enough?) to ensure that ever-flowing I.V. solution, Senator Udall lays out some other simple solutions - once again, because we really don't seem to get the point - that can reduce our need for that nasty Black Tar and its equally harmful derivatives:
