- Did Mr. Harley Baldwin talk about a special fund that the
- city of Aspen and the citizens and business community have put
- together in order to help rid Colorado of CO 2? He must be being
- shy!!!!! I am sure that many businesses and citizens of Colorado
- are so offended by CO 2 that they have donated money and time to
- fight the amendment!!
-
- Come on all of you anti-boycotters out there. Produce figures showing
- how much money Boulder, Aspen and Denver have donated to
- fight off CO 2.....Don't be shy! Also produce figures showing
- how the ski resorts are donating 5% of their net. in take to
- the fight bigotry in Colorado fund!!!! Now don't be shy...Let
- the rest of the world hear about what these wonderful people are
- doing besides blowing EMPTY APOLOGIES!!!!
-
- Gotta love them for trying!!!

- P.S. Colorado, like most states is having a ruff time financially
- with funding their state government. They also passed some sort
- of spending or tax cap. So they want money.. There main tax is
- the SALES TAX!!!! So if you don't go to Colorado you will
- be hurting the state purese strings.... Let me see if you go for
- a weekend and spend $1,000 there you will be donating $60-$70
- dollars to the state tresurary....remember the state treasury owned
- by the 53% of the people who don't want your kind.......
-
- Don't help fund a bigoted state!!!
