Yes, I am working on a new idea. Actually, I have two ideas. Is it possible that someone with three blogs on three subjects will burn out three times as fast? I guess we are going to find out.
One of my projects involves the promotion of Colorado blogs which write original essays on Colorado politics. I came to realize that this kind of promotion was necessary after I went to testify on HB 1227.
HB 1227 was a good government bill. It can't be described by anyone with a straight face as anything else. And yet, it was voted down on a party line basis. The Democrats will pay no price for what they did.
When I got home, I googled several of them. I found nothing but positive articles. It made me sick.
Yes, I can, and will write an essay about each of them, but one essay by one blogger doesn't make much of a dent.
If I can find a way to encourage other bloggers to do some honest research and to start writing googleable articles about how the Democrats are voting against their own constituents interest, and they are, then it is far less likely to happen next time.
Take the Make My Day Better Bill that got killed this week. Once again, three Democrats voted against the public interest. The Gazette named two. One of the two was a senator who is the son of a former governor, and who is trying to play both sides against each other for political advantage. That's a story that the Gazette didn't explore and that the two Denver papers didn't cover at all. It is a story that needs to be told.
But, who was the third Democrat who voted to kill the bill? I have no idea and don't have the time to find out.
You might ask why I am not naming names in this essay. The reason is simple. I don't want it googled by Democrats. Names invite google searches.
This next blog, the one that I hope will encourage others to write effective articles that damage Democrats will not be a townhall blog. It needs to be a dot com blog so that it can be found easily. I registered a domain name today.
Law, Lawyers, and Politics will continue to get new daily posts, though perhaps not as many. Those folks who share my interest in court reform, and look in part to this blog to speak for them need not worry about my losing interest in the subject.
And, yes, I have been intentionally vague about exactly what I am doing, only that I am doing something.
