In Colorado Springs, I saw in a Museum a wax figure of Teddy Roosevelt camping out in the wilderness. Colorado really needs to return to this great heritage and history they have. I guess as in so many other places, the Metro is messing things up, Denver-Boulder.

I know this thread is a few days old but I am reading the wikipedia entry on this Polis fellow, he’s part of the Pro-Flowers business and his parents founded “BlueMountainArts”, greeting card online company, they sold it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Polis

It doesn’t look like this guy is exactly a “self-made millionaire”, looks like he was involved in a family business.

Polis was key to the Obamacare nonsense, serving on one of the committees that wrote it, and as Peter Schweitzer has documented in his book "Throw Them All Out," he was busy on his phone with inside trading during the committee meetings. The legislation being crafted favored some medical research companies over others (having to do with longer patent periods for some classes of medical research and less for others). Polis was active buying up the favored companies with his insider info.....which is a CRIME that Eric Holder and his Just-Us Department refuses to investigate.

The Denver Post and the Boulder Chimera mentioned it, but never bothered to pursue Polis, with whom they are both allied.

Boulder Chimera, Camera, got it. A play on words.
