Convenient timing for Bridges if this does stay in the news. Does Peggy Lamm also have roots in Bighorn that go back that far? She could also be a beneficiary…
I can see the benefits for RB if the no-call lists get opened up for debate as he will get his mug on TV talking about it. That’s important for any candidate.
But, let’s be serious, from a policy standpoint the no-call list is some pretty weak stuff. Maybe it’s me, but while I appreciate the gesture, I just don’t see how the fact that I can eat a peaceful dinner should translate into me thinking Rutt will be a good governor. Bring something more to the table, big guy!
Personally – I’d also like to do away with those darned pesky political roto-dials. But that’s just me.
I don’t know about you, but the no-call list was Really Wonderful Stuff to me when it passed. To me, it’s a sign of someone really thinking about the way people like to be and implementing a practical solution.
The No-Call List is a simple, low cost to implement and maintain, voluntary solution that propogates the people’s wishes to the companies that might violate those wishes. The government is only involved in enforcement and centralization, but makes no other incursions into what would otherwise be a private contract between callers and their targets. What a great, common-sense approach. That really is the kind of solution I like to see from government.
This may help get Bridges some ink, however it will also bring up Bighorn’s many failures. The think tank has been around for at least five years and that’s all they have done.
Another one that will come up is their attempt to end the caucus system. Now, will Bridges opt to go the convention route, the one he tried to abolish? If he doesn’t believe in the system, then Ritter, who looks weak in the convention, would have an easy confirmation, upsetting the abortion rights majority and leading to an expensive primary. Maybe Bridges will change his view about the caucus in an attempt to keep Ritter off the primary ballot.
Bridges and the crew opposed extending the telemarketing ban to political phone calls when the bill was debated in the Legislature. Convenient.
BHC-
The reason the No-Call list wasn’t extended to political calls is for First Amendment reasons. A court would have struck it down had it covered political calls.
As for the “no accomplishments” comment, Bighorn Action was very involved in the passage of SB-198 at the legislature this year. Those who follow the proceedings down there know that this was very important election reform legislation, and it grew out of Bighorn’s FairVote Colorado election watch project.
The previous two postings brought to you by the Big Horn Center!
Hey it is time for all the divisive talk to end —
Rutt Bridges should be the nominee for Governor — the no-call list is a good example of the leadership he may be capable of — with the Reps in a Civil War it is time to end the division
