It is time to put country before party
We are Mesa County voters who share one unifying characteristic. We are political conservatives now at odds with major elements of today’s Republican Party. Some of us may never have been Republicans, while some have left the party (usually saying on the way out that the party left them). Some of us are Republicans still (very still, to paraphrase Henry Clay many decades ago).
There are certainly Republicans who deserve support in this year’s general election in less than six weeks. Rick Taggart, Janice Rich, Bobbie Daniel and Bobbie Gross come quickly to mind and there are others.
Another Republican, unfortunately, is making Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District a laughingstock. Of course, we’re referring to Rep. Lauren Boebert. She has recently stated that Donald Trump was “anointed by God” to be president. She has actually stated that the Romans killed Jesus (the Prince of Peace) because Jesus’ supporters didn’t have assault weapons. On Jan. 6, 2021, she was one of the U.S. House members who voted against certifying the 2020 election results after order was restored there. Her religious nationalism has led her to proclaim, “I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk that’s not in the Constitution.” In making this statement she seems completely ignorant of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

As of mid-2022, Boebert has not introduced one piece of legislation that passed the House, let alone became law. She is an ineffective, embarrassing representative of this District. We all deserve better.
