Don't lump Douglas in with that mess. We vote right out here.

At least we do on the right-hand side of I-25. HR is filled with hippies.

Colorado will no more allow counties to secede than the Federal Government will allow individual states to secede. Pure theatrics with no end result, plain and simple.

Two of our staunchest supporters in the Colorado Legislature are from right here in Parker. Chris Holbert Congressional district 44 and Ted Harvey Senate district 30.

Douglas county sure is a hell of a lot more red than some of the rural counties that elected Dumbocrats.

Someone's full of something, all right.

Douglas county immediately voted to not allow any head shops after the legislation went through.

Don't lump us in with the hippies.

Both. We'd have to get the CO legislature's approval, and that of Congress.
