Yep.. It's on the same day as your socialist conference. :jointsmile:

If you want to give up your freedoms, move to the UK. This is America.

You have to give up your freedoms to live in Britain? I figured this would have received more press.

Um, do a little research in history... What do you think the Declaration of Independence was about?

With appropriate respect, I don't think you know very much about what freedoms we enjoy, or their source. Signage is not a natural rights issue and has little or nothing to do with the Constitution. To frame the issue as a contest between "God given rights" vs the tightening grip of government is hyperbole. To characterize the ability to put a pot leaf on a sign as a natural right is to display confusion about what rights are, where they come from, and how our laws treat them. Signage is and has always been the prerogative of local government, duly elected by the people.

LOL Heard of freedom of speech or freedom of press? Amendment 1 of the Constitution.

Why do you think pharmaceutical companies can put antidepressant and viagra ads everywhere? Or protestors can put whatever they want on signs?

I suppose freedom is relative. On the senorx relative intrusiveness of government scale, where my ideal government is a 10, total anarchy is a 1, and North Korea is maybe a 90 (out of 100), the U.S. is about a 25 and the UK is probably a 40. Most countries are probably higher on the scale than the UK, so the UK is probably not the best example. Point taken though.

Chris Romer is up for re-election this year in SD32. I can not imagine a scenario in which he does not win that election. However, he is also actively raising support for a Denver mayoral bid in the May 2011 election.

His Honor, Chris Romer, Mayor of Denver?

Right, my point was more related to the odd choice of country. Since when did the UK eclipse Russia as the go to reference?

with our voting power there should be no presently elected officials re-elected to office...it is now time for all of us with voting privliges to make positive inroads on changing representives on both state and federal levels.
