Our state is currently being devastated by the basically unregulated energy companies who are devastating our public lands and way of life, polluting the air and water and destroying our roads and infrastructure. These companies pay only a fraction of the mineral severance taxes that are collected by our neighboring states and the state and local government officials refuse to listen to the input of the citizens who oppose this and are allowing the companies to operate with impunity.

Instead of being concerned by this situation our state legislature seems to be more interested in working on legislation that would allow Denver Broncos ticket holders to sell their tickets on eBay and legislation to make it easier for foreign farm workers to be imported to take the jobs of American farm workers.

The above is just a small part of the enormous problems faced by our state and this is an example of how our Democrat/Republican “representatives” handle these problems.

When will the citizens of this country wake up and realize that the present two party system is totally corrupt and broken? It is time for this system to be replaced by a non-partisan, independent populist system that will take care of the needs of the common citizens rather than the party elitists and their corporate masters.
