Heated Electoral College Debate

Posted by jccaldara on Apr 10 2009 | Idiot Box (TV Show), Kopelization

A large percentage of Colorado legislators think that the Electoral College has outlived its usefulness. What is the Electoral College? Why has it been successful for more than 200 years? Why do some want to get rid of it? Former State Senator Ken Gordon and Independence Institute Research Director David Kopel debate whether Colorado ought to choose the president, or if that right should be exported to the whims of the nation. Tune in tonight at 8:30 to Independent Thinking for a lively discussion on the future of the Electoral College in Colorado.  Repeat next Tuesday at 5pm.

(Warning: This Independent Thinking gets HEATED!)

Let’s Talk Sentencing Reform

Posted by jccaldara on Apr 03 2009 | Idiot Box (TV Show)

Once again the Colorado budget and the prison population are on a collision course. The Colorado Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice (CCCJJ) tries to balance public safety, justice, the rights of victims and the most cost-effective use of public resources. The CCCJJ recently released recommendations. Commission member State Representative Ellen Roberts and Christie Donner of the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition join me on Independent Thinking tonight to discuss the recommendations and how they balance public safety and the state budget.

Let’s Cut Through Obama’s “Green” Rhetoric

Posted by jccaldara on Apr 01 2009 | Environment, Events, Government Largess, PPC

The Independence Institute is pleased to host an evening with Terry Anderson, Executive Director of the Property & Environment Research Center (PERC). Through the lens of a free market approach to economics and environmental policy, Terry will examine the Obama administration’s environmental policies, specifically exploring whether those policies are really “green”; the implications of the carbon cap-and-trade proposal and the global warming debate; and the pros and cons of green jobs and green energy policies. Please join us as we slice through the rhetoric from both sides and get to heart of what is at stake for our environment and our economy.

The event will be held on Wednesday, April 8th here at the Independence Institute in Golden. Reception at 5:30, presentation at 6pm.  Click here to RSVP, or give us a ring at 303.279.6536.
