7. Highlight of my life.

Mar 2016

Though I still like to brag about keeping Colorado blue in 2010, I busted my ass hard on that one, one of the few states to stay blue. It was overturned in 2014 when I couldn't be as active (helping my mom and nephew and niece during a move, I physically couldn't participate, family above politics). Still breaks my heart, Udall was a great guy, lost because he took the brave position against extended magazines after Sandy Hook. He helped bust open the NSA crap. And yeah, he was "Third Way." I still loved that guy.

But when all is said and done, my 2012 vote for legalization (and Obama reelection) was the best thing I ever did in my life. A tribute to RainDog (DUer who died).

I stand proud of Colorado and any states going forward who are ending this utterly ridiculous drug war.
