ROMANOFF vs. BENNET

After receiving polling phone calls regarding the Sen. Michael Bennet
vs. Andrew Romanoff fight, I searched the Boulder Weekly to hear about
Bennet.

Andrew Romanoff has the people?

And who is former Colorado Senate Majority Leader Ken Gordon (a
Romanoff supporter), kidding saying, "I'm going to vote for somebody
who's only going to represent me."

The large and growing minority that supports re-legalizing cannabis
(marijuana) should remember when then-House Speaker Romanoff enabled
and supported misleading and false information regarding Amendment 44,
which would have legalized small amounts of cannabis, in the 2006 Blue
Book voter guide, which may have interfered with a fair election.

The deliberately placed lies were so blatant that the Rocky Mountain
News printed an editorial ("Ambushing the pot initiative," Sept. 15,
2006, 
http://m.rockymountainnews.com/news/2006/sep/15/ambushing-the-pot-initiative)
which claimed, "The Legislative Council and its staff have made a
serious mistake that will cloud the reputation of the Blue Book for
years to come."

Colorado voters were not well-represented with this abusive use of
power and should not risk such behavior from a politician in the
future. I still don't know Bennet's stand on cannabis issues, but
Romanoff is a menace. Take that to the Colorado Democratic caucus
coming up March 16.
