Wednesday's Warrior(s)

We're going to do something a little different today....

Cheers go to Senator Greg Brophy (R - Yuma), Sen. Mike Kopp (R - Littleton), Sen. Scott Renfroe (R - Eaton), Sen. Ted Harvey (R - Highlands Ranch) and Sen. Josh Penry (R -Fruita) for being leaders agaist HB07-1292, which requires liberal sex-education be taught in Colorado Schools.

Today these distinguished Senators lead the floor fight, complete with amendments, against HB07-1292.

Collectively they are today's Wednesday Warriors.

Wednesday's Warrior: Tom Tancredo

When talking to Republican activists in Colorado the one name that comes up more than any others as Colorado’s favorite son is Tom Tancredo.

When history is written years from now it is hard to imagine a political figure that will have affected the immigration reform movement as much as Congressman Tom Tancredo. Tom Tancredo came into the spotlight of American politics when the American people needed him most. After being alone in the woods on the issue of immigration for a considerably long time, Tom is now joined by a throng of supporters and admirers who share his vision of immigration reform.

It is because of one mans effort that a single issue has the national political prominence that it does now. For that reason the Colorado Conservative Project is pleased to announce that Congressman Tancredo is this weeks Wednesday Warrior. Congressman Tancredo we salute you.

(Editors Note: In recognition of Congressman Tancredo as well as a shot across the bow of his communist neighbor in D.C., CCP suggests you send Tom a cigar to show him your appreciation. You can send your stogie to his district office listed below)

Wednesday's Warrior: Mike Kopp

There is little about Senator Mike Kopp (R - Littleton) that doesn't exemplify what is great about our country. He is a veteran, a husband, a father, and a small businessman. Basically, Kopp is the definition of a great American.

Today the Colorado Conservative Project honors Kopp as our Wednesday's Warrior for his work this week to defend the military from the machinations of liberal, anarchists from Boulder.

Wednesday's Warrior: Bob Schaffer

For those who have met this week's Wednesday's Warrior, you know that there are few in Colorado politics as well spoken or intelligent than former Congressman Bob Schaffer.

At this past Saturday's GOP State Central Committee Meeting (CentComm) Schaffer gave one of the best political speeches I have heard in many cycles. It has been rumored that Schaffer might run for Senator Wayne Allard's soon to be vacated senate seat. Scott McInnis [hardly a conservative], who has already announced his campaign for the senate, spoke before Schaffer, calling on Republicans to unite and avoid a primary.

In his comments, Schaffer laid down the law both for Republicans and Democrats. He drew clear distinction between true Republican ideals and the "goofy" ideas of the Democrats. Schaffer called upon the Republican party to return to its true ideals, and brought the crowd to its feet with his admonishment of the liberals running our state's government.

Schaffer is a well spoken mainstream conservative, who has done extensive work in education, which is an issue that Republicans have serious electoral problems with.

For his stellar performance at the State CentComm meeting, the Editorial staff of the Colorado Conservative Project name Bob Schaffer as Wednesday's Warrior.

Classic Schaffer: smacking down Jesse Jackson on Crossfire.

Wednesday's Warrior: Cory Gardner

Representative Cory Gardner is truly a champion of gun rights. His leadership on HB07-1011, the well named "Make My Day Better" Law is an an outstanding step toward empowering the people of Colorado to defend themselves. Gardner is a champion of a great many other conservative issues, but today we're celebrating guns, 'cause who doesn't like guns?

That is why Dirty Harry and the Editorial Staff of The Colorado Conservative Project names Rep. Cory Gardner as Wednesday's Warrior.

Gardner is,without a doubt, the coolest guy in politics *without* a website.

Separated at birth?

or

Same smiling mug, same pearly-whites, same stylish hair cut... I'd say we have a family resemblance!

Gardner is a member of the Republican Study Committee of Colorado (RSCC). You can read their press release on the Gardner/Harvey "Make My Day Better" Law here.

(Editor's Note: I certainly hope that Gardner uses a more effective caliber handgun than Dirty Harry's .357. We at The Colorado Conservative Project believe that God made man (& woman) and that a .45 makes everyone equal.)
