Article Discussion: Developers hold up Colorado bill on affo
by Hargis4Congress on Today, 10:19 am
Tough issue, developers have rights but they often forget about the American's that labor in the industries that cater to the elite, without them, there is no labor for local industry's. I think those in government with compassion and strong empathy have to look at the fact that if developers have a strict mindset to make top dollar and no concern for the low income laborer, then someone must step in and force an issue to where the working American does not have to travel a long distance to work, or pay so much that they cannot afford many of the basics that we need, which should include the ability to save for their children's future.
In essence, every time we place a hardship on working America, we force them to rely on social programs to make ends meet, so the common sense answer, is to build affordable housing, or set aside property for an apartment complex that will not use up too much of a developers property. American's are struggling for good job's and they will travel anywhere to find work, but we cannot continue to force them to accept excessive financial hardships to serve more fortunate individuals, there must be common ground between those that have, and those that are trying to do the right thing and work instead of becoming dependant on tax dollars to survive.

Article Discussion: Colorado Senators reject school bus seat-belt req
by Hargis4Congress on Today, 12:00 pm
Apparently these un-learned representative's have never watched Tru TV, after they installed camera's in school busses there are several video's a year shown of children flying within a school bus that was in an accident, or just going over a bad pot hole, and i must include the recent accident in Kentucky between a school bus and a semi rig. 11 people killed.
Our children are our future and most precious commodity, and to the democrats, the holders of your forced debt. It is sheer ignorance to ignore the safety of our future generations, the cost could be reduced by buying the seatbelts in bulk and having the county shops install them, that is what they are on the state payroll for.

Good idea's and innovation of what many consider a blight to Colorado's scenery is what will allow Colorado to recover from our recession and lead America by example.
I also ask that every product sold, will compel these enterprisers to plant a new tree in its place. Good Luck !!!

Obama administration to order lenders to cut mortgage payments for jobless
Obama administration to order lenders to cut mortgage payments for joblessThe Obama administration plans to overhaul how it's tackling the foreclosure crisis, in part by requiring lenders to temporarily slash or eliminate monthly mortgage payments for many borrowers who are unemployed, senior officials said Thursday. - By Renae Merle and dina elboghdady of the washingto post.
It is foolish for Obama to think of acting in this manner without dealing with the job and outsourcing problem, i can understand helping the foreclosure victims, if they have children, but we need to address the unemployment issue before hand or at the same time and in the same executive order. Unless this is an attempt to incite more attacks on democratic offices in order to enact martial law and Obama intends to dictate socialism in America, something ain't right here

Campaign Finance Law's
As an independent with no party affiliation, i have to look at the fairness of campaign finance law's. I think it is ok for a full disclosure requirement and that some limits should be set, but looking from the outside in, major parties appear to complicate this issue to hold back independent candidate's and prevent US from competing on a level field with our opponents.
An Independent like myself, who believes in the principals of our Constitution and the rights of American's, who feels that revenue neutral policies and economic security should be a priority in today's America, has little chance to promote ideas for a better government with restricted donation's. Campaign finance law's look to be targeted on Independents and their resolve to put America on the right path with the Constitution and the rights set forth within it.

Here are some interesting things you might not know about Colorado.
Highest Climb. The highest vertical climb is not on a mountain but up the north side of the Black Canyon.. Rising 1,700 feet, this sheer rock face is even higher than the famous Diamond on Longs Peak and was not conquered until 1969.
Deepest Snow. In 1899 Crested Butte recorded 254 inches of snow near the top of Kebler Pass. That year, snow buried a train near Leadville and left only stove pipes showing above cabins at many mountain towns. Usually, Wolf Creek Pass near Pagosa Springs gets the most snow in Colorado.
Oldest Hotel. The Peck House in the little town of Empire, near Berthoud Pass, is Colorado's oldest hotel. It was built in 1859 by James Peck. Early guests included President Ulysses S. Grant and other famous people.
Highest Town. Leadville is the highest (10,200 feet) incorporated town in Colorado and the entire U.S. It has also had the highest rate of premature babies in the U.S. Researchers concluded that the altitude causes smaller babies.
Largest Nuggets. The biggest gold nugget in Colorado weighed 135 ounces and was found near Breckenridge in 1887 by miner Tom Broves. The biggest silver nugget weighed 1,840 pounds and was found at an Aspen mine in 1894.
Largest Elk Antlers. Measuring 52 inches at the widest point, the antlers of an elk killed in 1899 near Crested Butte are still on display at that town's visitor center. In 1961, Boone and Crockett researchers declared it to be the largest elk rack in history.
Toughest Climate. No crops are grown around the town of Silverton, north of Durango. At 9,318 feet elevation, Silverton's growing season between frosts is only two weeks. San Juan County there is reportedly the only county in the U.S. without a single acre of agricultural land.
Worst Drought. About every 40 years, Colorado experiences a drought, according to tree-ring researchers. The worst was in the 1200s. It lasted 25 years and may have driven the Indians from Mesa Verde. During the Dust Bowl on the eastern plains, one cloud of dust on April 4, 1935, gathered itself to 1,000 feet high and 200 miles wide. It traveled at 60 miles an hour, suffocated hundreds of animals and damaged many people's health.
Driest Town. Delta, south of Grand Junction, gets less rain per year than Tucson, Arizona.
Musical Dunes. Winds blowing around the Great Sand Dunes near Alamosa create sounds resembling music. That's how Music Pass above the dunes got its name.
Women's Rights. Colorado was the second state in the U.S. to give women the right to vote. Wyoming was the first. You would think the eastern states would have been more progressive, but it took the frontier adventure to make men realize how strong and intelligent women were.

Independent Candidate
My name is John W Hargis Sr
On march 4th of 2010, i submitted by certified mail my affidavit of candidacy for the U.S. House, district 3, Colorado. I am an Independent by choice, with NO party affiliation, as i feel the cost is too high in fighting for a nomination. I will represent the Constitution and Colorado.
I currently live in Del Norte Colorado and have been a San Luis valley resident sense 1993. I am an honorably discharged U.S. Navy Vietnam era veteran and a father of three sons. I have managed several restaurants, worked as a bouncer in a Fla. bar, auto repossesor, skip tracer, private investigator and a Class A-CDL OTR driver. I worked in construction throughout the years and was a general contractor in the San Luis valley sense 1993. I am disabled and have a 70% hearing loss and i am currently single.
I look at the Constitution and see that our rights can only be attained and enjoyed by the security of employment, so one of my plan's is to develop an amendment for the "community reinvestment act", which will give employee's of a failing business an opportunity to submit a proposal to area banks so that said business can be purchased by the employee's and begin a process for American job security.
If elected, i will provide a link on my U.S. House website that will list all pending legislation and i will also give the voters in my district the advantage of voting on said legislation, and those votes will determine my Yea or Nea.
I will also place my legislation on the website for review and comment, in my office, you are heard and i will be your public servant in government. I will also take an interest in state issue's that may be affecting your community and do my best to find solution's working with state representative's.
I will send letters of request to all city, town and county councils in my district to determine community needs and work with local government to find solutions. I also ask the business community to send me information, idea's and problem's that would help them keep and hire employee's, health insurance issue's and un-employment/workers comp concerns. Starting in June, after i have considered the issues and concerns sent to me, i will travel to each community in my district and sit with both business and government leaders to discuss how best to find what you and Colorado need to keep working and enjoy the American dream. Any resident may write me at the address and e-mail below. I do need volunteers, please consider being part of a better Colorado and America. Thank you and God Bless John W Hargis Sr/Independent,

Starting at the bottom of our problem's
As a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives for district 3 of Colorado, i feel it is my responsibility to assess all information and legislature that this administration attempts to force on the American public, and the good people of Colorado.I do not agree with Democrat policies in regard to health care, and i do not see where Congress has tried to remove the burden on American taxpayers. I am currently researching other options, i have written e-mails to auto insurance companies in an attempt to find if adding a health care rider on auto insurance is feasible, and to what extent the premium's would increase.
In another way, i have started to work to find if the one health insurance company to receive bail out funds can be used as a platform to insure our uninsured americans and reduce the burden on taxpayers by working in the best interest of American's and the business community before looking at raising the national debt and increasing taxes, and yes, any charge to American's that involves paying for a government service is a tax.
Many American's voted for President Obama due to his experience in Constitutional law, but his action's and those of his administration fail across the board thus far, he continuously fails to look for options in his policies that benefit American's instead of looking to the bank for credit and how to pay for said policies. He needs to trust the American citizen to be self serving, but American's need job's to be able to do for themselves, and their families.Health care needs to be addressed in ways that will not burden the taxpayer, and only to look at government run programs as a last resort.
