Activist Opportunities

 

Our local newspapers were, at one time, accurate and reliable sources of information and reasonable editorial content. In the last few years, however, this tradition appears to have been reversed. In case you haven't noticed, there are some newspapers in Grand Junction and locales throughout the Western Slope that are not exactly fair and objective. The Board of Directors of the WSCA is calling on all Conservative Patriots to become the "checks and balances" on our local newspapers given that their editors and staffs seem incapable of doing so themselves. 


Click here to submit a Letter to the Editor of the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, or call 970-244-8578.
 
Click here to submit a Letter to the Editor of the Grand Junction Free Press, or call 970-234-2200.

If you are uncomfortable with writing Letters to the Editor or calling the offending newspaper(s), please contact us and we'll discuss other ways you can help.

Activist Alert for Tea Party and Liberty Groups:

As a leading Tea Party Group in western Colorado, the Western Slope Conservative Alliance is sounding the alarm to our friends in the Tea Party and other Liberty groups across the state. Be on the watch for a stealth campaign being organized by radical environmentalist designed to scare cities and counties into enacting new oil and gas restrictions. These radical environmental organizations are trying to completely shut down the energy industry in Colorado by layering additional regulations on top of the highly punitive oil and gas restrictions put into effect by Governor Bill Ritter a few short years ago. 


Last week, our wonderful attorney general, John Suthers-- the same conservative who is leading the fight to overturn Obamacare -- sent an official letter to Arapahoe and El Paso Counties and told them their job-killing regulations are illegal. 

As members of the Liberty groups from communities that have been front and center in oil and gas development for generations, we are asking you to reach out to your local and state officials and representatives and send a clear message.  
  • Tell them not to be swayed by the scare tactics of environmental extremists. 
  • Tell them Colorado already has the toughest oil and gas limitations at the state level anywhere in the country. 
  • Tell them that liberals fight domestic energy production (remember the Keystone Pipeline?), not conservatives. 
  • Tell them that Bill Ritter got run out of office in part for fighting responsible energy development, and so will they if they do the same thing.
