Will Colorado go back in time or will we continue our forward movement? We will be deciding the position of Governor and we have much to be wringing our hands over. The challenger in this race has set forth some very disturbing justice policies and even overstated his power to change justice policies in this state which suggests that he may rule with an iron fist...so to speak.
Now those of you who may not really be involved with the juvenile justice system, criminal justice system or prisons may wonder why you should care? You should care because of Colorado's historical love affair with prisons, the amount of prisons we house in this state, the rate of incarceration in this state and that we have no reform programs in place for juvenile intervention but choose to send them to detention (prisons). You should care because all of these hard justice policies perpetuate poverty, poor education and unhealthy communities. Why? Because you have to fund prisons at the cost of communities, education and reform programs. This suggest to me that the challenger in the governor's race has a love affair with prison and has no idea the cost to humanity in holding to this love affair. Overuse of prisons, an undoing of parole systems, and harsh sentencing practices will ravage our education budgets, social systems and our public use budgets. Prisons cost a lot of money and the money has to come from somewhere.
As you can plainly see the positions held by this candidate do not serve our community philosophies of education, reform and strong communities. Not if cutting treatment programs in deemed the right thing to do. There is another issue at stake here. Anyone who wants to speed up the process of the death penalty and the execution of this sentence shows me they have little respect for human life or the desire to insure that justice has been served before taking a human life.
Another issue that raise question is the platform stand for prosecutors, law enforcement and funding for these departments. So who would this candidate truly be representing, the people of this state or his interest groups? Even to the point where the desire is stated to switch the tax revenue from retail marijuana from education to law enforcement. Our children are not important, a better, stronger and better educated community is not important? Many of you have already voted so the following information is to prepare you for the future in Colorado should this candidate win. The rest who have yet to vote...this is for your consideration.

Box 727, Lafayette, CO 80026 A Safer Colorado Public safety is the government's primary role; as such it is the principal job of the governor to ensure the safety of the state’s neighborhoods, and the security of persons and property, from crime. Unfortunately, over the past four years, criminal justice has taken a back seat. The scales have tilted decidedly in favor of those who break the law, and against victims of crime and those who serve to try and keep our communities safe. Criminal justice laws have been written more for the benefit of public defenders and the ACLU than for the protection of the citizens; justice and law and order have been replaced by politically correct social experimentation - with often tragic results. Colorado needs a governor who knows what his responsibilities are, and who is committed to restoring justice to the justice system. Truth in Sentencing
