Regular Folks Rising

Colorado is Great When Regular Folks Participate

Author: Regular Folks Rising!

Go to any convenience store at about 7:15 in the morning and youll meet the regular folks. The mom getting some gas and hustling to get her kids to school. The plumber grabbing a breakfast burrito before his first job. The teacher getting much-needed coffee before their first bell rings. The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker. These are the regular folks. Lately, Colorado seems to have forgotten about the regular folks, or worse yet, dismissed us. Colorados newly acquired activist mindset seems more a product of imported east-coast elites and west-coast extremists than a product of those possessing Colorado Common Sense. We remember that Colorado is the west. Not the west coast. The Rocky Mountain West. We remember that Coloradans are westerners and that means something. Were rugged. Individualists. Determined. We persevere, we work together, and we respect one another. Westerners believe in an ethic the code of the west. We live our own lives boldly and we keep our nose on our own side of the fence. We dont really need to be told what to do (and we dont like it when we are) because we instinctively know whats right and we do it, not because were told, but because its the right thing to do! We love our state and our nation. We believe in the concept of a democratic republican and we elect representatives to work in government on our behalf. However, we believe that the regular folks have ceded too much authority to what has become less elected representatives and more ruling elites. These imported ruling elites have twisted Colorado into something we no longer recognize. We get it regular folks are busy pursuing happiness. But the only way to stop this Colorado creep toward Californication is to get involved. Thats what the Regular Folks Rising movement is all about equipping the common person to engage in the important role of self-governance. The nonsense must stop. It begins here and it begins now. Its time for regular folks to rise!
