Letter to the Editor, and to the Ear

Did you see the Letter to the Ranchland? Words of truth, and of course I feel good about letting the community know the other side of the Override story. Now to counter words from the Ear:

“Did you read the current issue of the Ranchland News?”

— Yes I did and really proud to have done it

“Sports participation is a key element in the education of all students.”

–I don’t agree and would like to see your proof

“There is also one letter from Fayne McDowell asking everyone to vote no on item

3C and not support sports.”

— Not true, I have never said, not to support sports

“Fayne McDowell saying it’s a waste of money.”

–Not true never said sports was a waste of money

“Fayne writes that the school board did not seek any grants.”

–Not true, said until the past week they had not sought additional money and they still have not applied for any grants. Metro is not a grant, and unless a documented agreement was signed this week there still isn’t one. The agreement with Metro would have to be reviewed and voted on by the entire board. Not just by Mr McWilliams, illegal obligation of district’s money, possible.

“But McDowell still falsely states that there is no grant and no agreement”.

–What was said was that as of the last board meeting there was no grant or written agreement, and there still isn’t one.

“No funds for computers; no funds for text books; no funds for sports.”

— Not true, never said no funds for computers, or no funds for text books or no funds for sports. What has been said is no override mill levy, still saying it.

“There are about 1,000 parents of the students who play sports in the district”

— Lets’ do some math, 1000/2= 500, that is 500 students playing sports, don’t think so. When I asked, was told that over half of the students play multi-sports. But, it really doesn’t matter how many, it is additional taxes on the community. It has to do with the school’s priority, Let’s make it education first.

 

Another interesting thing, Mr Torrez made a statement to the Ranchland about the mill levy and again not a single word about educational projects, didn’t the ear and the Lawyers say it was for both education and sport facilities.   It was for sports facilities from the beginning.

 

I wonder just how many teachers, administration personnel live in the district, and will be able to vote?

Congressman Doug Lamborn

Congressman Lamborn has been endorsed for reelection by the American Conservative Union (ACU), the nation’s oldest and largest grassroots conservative organization.“Congressman Lamborn’s ACU lifetime rating of 98% over seven years is one of the highest in Congress and reflects an outstanding commitment to conservative principles on a wide variety of issues. His defeat would be a loss to conservatives in the House.” – Larry Hart, Director of Government Relations

Our vision…

 

I envision an America built on four vital principles.A strong America means that we fully fund our military to face the threats of a dangerous world. It means making sure that America is  respected and taken seriously by other nations. It means having a foreign policy where we support our friends over our enemies, and not the other way around. I believe, like Ronald Reagan, that we achieve peace through strength.

A prosperous America means utilizing American energy to create American jobs and lower energy bills for consumers. A prosperous America means having fewer regulations blocking the creativity of our entrepreneurs and job creators. A prosperous America cannot be one that includes the disaster that is Obamacare. Until it is replaced with conservative, free-market solutions, it will continue to cripple job growth, stifle economic progress, and be an enemy of individual prosperity.

A secure America means reforming the two-thirds of our budget that goes to entitlement spending. In a perfect world, churches and non-profits would carry the burden of caring for the less fortunate members of society. But, until that day comes, government programs must work and must be purged of their waste, fraud, and abuse.

A free America is a country that protects Constitutional rights, especially the Second Amendment and freedom of religion for civilians and members of the armed forces. A free America simplifies our tax code to reduce and eliminate the role of the IRS. A free America does not have an Imperial President who ignores the co-equal branches of government.

I will continue to fight for conservative, constitutional, and traditional values. I will work hard for the people of the Fifth Congressional District, for our men and women in uniform, and for a bright and prosperous future for America.

Yours truly,

Congressman Doug Lamborn
