Redress of Grievances:
Since it is highly unlikely that there will ever be true debate in the upcoming elections: 3 minute introductions and 3 minute answers to canned questions without rebuttal is not debate: the following list of grievances is submitted and redress is to elect Libertarian County Commissioners in Boulder County and make the changes.
In That the current Democratic County Commissioners
1.Have refused to change election of County Commissioners by the district they represent as requested, instead maintaining election at large by the whole county.
2. Have kept and maintained a tax on the citizens called the "Worthy Cause Tax" which is given to non governmental institutions at the discretion of the Same County Commissioners.
3. Have maintained a subjective and overbearing as well as exhaustive site plan review process to stop development in the county.
4. Have reduced property development rights unlawfully and then required the bartering, buying and selling of remaining rights among free citizens with the first purchase to be made from the County itself from undeveloped property purchased with tax dollars in the form of open space and conservation easements.
5. Have created special overlay districts with restrictions on historical uses. Requiring such things as new septic systems where none is needed and special use reviews of subjective nature to impair existing and future use of private properties and businesses by creating oppressive financial burdens too heavy to bear.
6. Have hidden behind the closed doors of Executive session colluding among themselves violating the Sunshine law to achieve their vision and ideal of Boulder County.
7. Have treated the public forum and public comment as a mere formality that they must endure before they proceed with their plans. In doing so they have disenfranchised entire segments of the population whose needs and desires are not represented.
8. Have treated unfairly and without equal protection the citizens of this County giving verbal undocumented approval to Corporations such as Cemex for its activities while bringing lawsuit against religious institutions such as the Rocky Mountain Christian Church at great cost for the same request.
9. Have refused to answer straight forward questions regarding Land Use Staff activities as well as their own involvement in regards to the activities of Cemex.
10. Have perpetrated legislation amending CRS 13-17-102-8 giving them the ability to bring frivolous and vexatious lawsuits against its citizens with no danger of penalty or payment of court costs and damages when they lose.
11. Have created an atmosphere of fear of reprisal by the Land Use Department on developers and landowners should they speak out against their draconian measures.
12. Have limited the right of free citizens to contract with whom they wish by withholding building permits unless contract is made with those whom the County tests, taxes and license.
13. Have appointed themselves (Ron Stewart) to high-paying jobs, skirting the normal search process, in order to ensconce their personal position on the county's citizens in perpetuity.
14. Have unlawfully created de facto easements on private property by consistently passing land use rulings and restrictions that favor those citizens with longer residency over their newer neighbors who seek to build or expand their homes in Boulder County.
15. Have in order to preserve "the rural character " of Boulder County and guarantee "a variety of housing stock", unlawfully discriminated against one group of citizens by taxing the size of their homes, rather than sharing the cost with all of us.
16. Have, in the name of energy conservations and "sustainability" and with total disregard of life-cycle costs, imposed outrageous rules and regulations far in excess of most other American communities, that impede the freedom of our residents to peacefully enjoy the fruits of their labor.
17. Have attempted to stop development within the county through subversive tactics that include restricted building due to slope of property and without consent combining contiguous lots of the same ownership.
YOU MAY NOT BE PERSONALLY IMPACTED BY THE ABOVE INFRACTIONS BUT YOU SHOULD RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS NOT GOOD GOVERNMENT. IF YOU ELECT ME AS YOUR PUBLIC SERVANT I PLEDGE TO YOU.
1. GOVERNMENT THAT DOES NOT CATER TO THE VISION OF A SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION AND FOIST IT ON THE WHOLE.
2. GOVERNMENT THAT LISTENS TO THE CONCERNS OF CITIZENS AND FINDS BALANCE IN THE SOLUTIONS.
3. GOVERNMENT THAT PROTECTS YOUR RIGHTS AS INDIVIDUALS REGARDLESS OF THE WILL OF THE MAJORITY
4. GOVERNMENT THAT STAYS WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES SET FORTH IN THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR REPUBLIC
5. GOVERNMENT THAT ENCOURAGES DIALOG AND SOLUTIONS AMONG ITS CITIZENS BEFORE ENACTING MORE LAWS.
6. GOVERNMENT THAT ALLOWS YOU TO BE WHO YOU ARE IN A FREE AND EQUAL SOCIETY.
I have often stated that our society runs on volunteers. There is no amount of money that could pay for the hours donated by service oriented volunteers. I have served my country as a soldier in the U.S. Army and I am proud of my 10 years. I am fiercely proud of my fellow vets and those currently in service to this country. We the people are responsible for where and when we send them into harms way and they do so because of their honor and dedication to we the people. As a mason I have donated my skill and time to many service groups and causes such as church's, (sign for the Boulder Valley Church of Christ) (Cornerstone replacement of the Ash Grove Methodist church) Habitat for Humanity, (brick veneer on houses) and the Boulder County Sherifs department, ( building the K-9 kennels for them. ) I serve on the board of advisors for the Right of passage Vocational school for the trowel trade. This is an alternative to juvenile offenders instead of incarceration. Currently I have been active in the Columbine Cemetery volunteers doing historical restoration on tombstones. As a runner I have donated my time with Bruce Kirshner to co-direct the Coal Creek Cross Country Challenge now in its 8th year. I was active in the Cub Scouts when my son was there serving as Den parent and Cub master for Pack 69 for four years. I have been and I am currently active with Public Access Television channel 54 in the quad cities of Louisville, Lafayette, Erie and Superior. This organization is run completely by volunteers and thrives despite many obstacles. I am a member of several organizations to which I give my time and money. Rails to Trails, Volunteers of Outdoor Colorado, Wildlands Restoration Volunteers. As a hunter I give my time and experience along with the other hunters to manage the wildlife in the State of Colorado. This a massive job that could not be performed without hunters like myself and even more interesting is that the sale of licenses to these very same hunters almost completely funds the Department of Wildlife and all its other activities, this is unique among government agencies. As a public servant I have offered my service to the community for public office. In this great country of great freedoms I encourage those I meet to be themselves and respect what others choose to do and be. I have tried to model this by not conforming to the false presentation that politicians have falsely believed they must do to get elected. I believe it is not important how you look but your dedication to the Constitution and the Republic to preserve our Life, our Liberty, and our Pursuit of happiness.
We associate ourselves together
For the following purpose:
To uphold and defend
The Constitution of the United States of America;
To maintain law and order;
To foster and perpetuate
A one hundred per cent Americanism;
To preserve the memories of and incidents
Of our association in the Great Wars,
To inculcate a sense of individual obligation
To the Community, State, and Nation;
To combat the autocracy
Of both the classes and masses;
To make right the master of might;
To promote peace and good will on earth;
To safeguard and transmit to posterity
The principles of Justice, Freedom and Democracy;
To consecrate and sanctify our Comradeship
By our devotion to mutual helpfulness."
This is the preamble for the American Legion, from the first time I read it I related to it and wanted to be a part of this organization. Sadly like our Constitution few members have read this and get inspired by it. I have it on my refrigerator door and reflect on it often. As a Libertarian it sings to me and keeps me going. I submit it to my associates and friends to inspire them whether you are a veteran or not. in liberty Randy Luallin
