    Yes it is too much to ask for... People who met that criteria are too smart, too busy, to try to single-handedly take on a public service office like that.

    I think a lot of our votes get washed out in the water from voting for third parties like the Libertarian, Constitutionalist, etc. I was looking at some numbers and if all those side parties were included in the "Republican" side, the R's would've won a lot more seats/issues.

    I think this is correct but Republicans have only themselves to blame. They aren't conservative in any way. They just are right of the new Democrats. People on the right are way more likely to vote for values before party whereas people on the left are the opposite.

The student had a homework sheet and one of the items was to write a report on the rights 'granted' by the BoR.

    "Colorado Democrats plan to reintroduce controversial 'red flag' gun bill"
