Yes, it would be nice if we had a Green running for Governor.  Just think!

My biggest beef with Ritter isn't even the anti-choice stance, but his
refusal to prosecute any of the killer cops on the Denver Police Force.  
The Denver cops are thugs.  I forget how many innocent people were killed by
cops while he was D.A.--think it was something like 12 or 13.

But voting for Beauprez is totally unacceptable.  (I am assuming the
Republican power structure is not going to let Holtzman on the ballot,
whatever he does.  He would obviously be no better, and maybe would be worse
than Beauprez, but at least he's a fighter.)

Yeah, I wish we had a Green candidate for governor.  I think a lot of
Democrats do, too!  It's too bad.

Hi all

This was a letter from today's Coloradoan which I forwarded without comment.
However, I realize now that the heading saying it was from the Coloradoan
was omitted. I hope that clarifies.

My impression is that Ritter is anti-choice but for the purposes of the
gubernatorial race has acquiesced to a pro choice position. One would hope
that he would act accordingly if elected, but I personally have my doubts.

I sent this because the Greens came close to entering the gubernatorial
race. Most Greens and progressives are dissatisfied with Ritter not only
because of the abortion but more generally because his right wing politics
across the board. I do not believe that he should be governor or that he
would be particularly more desirable than Beauprez.

My impression of Ritter from his tenure as DA is that he respects people,
women and men, about as much as Guilliani --- not very much.
