Filled with pride and vaccine

Re: UCHealth plans Coors Field vaccine clinic, Jan. 23 news story

Hats off to UCHealth! I was one of a thousand people selected to participate in the trial run of the Coors Field drive-through vaccination program. It was superbly organized and exceptionally efficient. I left my house at 10:20 a.m. and returned home, properly vaccinated and documented, at 11:25 a.m. The people who helped me were well informed, helpful, and cheerful.

This is how all our public agencies should work organized, thoughtful, and service-oriented. Ive always been proud to be a Coloradan, never more so than today.

I write to urge the Senate to end the filibuster. It is undemocratic, with a small d. It is estimated that the 50 Senate Democrats represent 41.4 million more American citizens than the 50 Republican Senators do.

The filibuster gives the Republicans effective control of the Senate. The Republican Senators have already made it starkly clear that they plan to continue their obstruction of good governance, despite having lost the presidency, the Senate, and the House.

The Democrats must play hardball and end the filibuster or the countrys legislation will continue to stagnate in the Senate chamber. Unfortunately, good guys finish last.

To begin, I am not a crackpot; I am not a kook; I am not a brainwashed member of some cult, white supremacist or militia group, and I dont condone what happened at the Capitol. But I did twice vote for Donald Trump.

I did not vote for him because I liked his personality, manner of speech, narcissism, tweets, or his offhand comments I didnt. I voted for Trump because I agreed with him (in no particular order) that: 1) We need to attempt to have some semblance of control over who and what enters our country across our borders this has nothing to do with race and everything to do with our safety and sovereignty; 2) we need to even up trade agreements with other nations; 3) I believe we can address environmental issues without the radical green deal agenda which will wreck our economy; 4) I am against socialized medicine; 5) I am against the growth of socialism in general in our country; 6) I believe in our constitutional rights, including the Second Amendment and especially the First Amendment not cancel the cancel culture; 7) I believe the swamp does need to be drained. Space limits more examples.

I will support Trump, if he gets a chance to run again, or any other candidate who would promote these ideas. I am tired of the name-calling and accusations of insanity thrown at me by the left. I will not apologize for my beliefs.
