colorado soldiers have again covered themselves with glory. some of the scalps were taken back to denver and paraded in a theater and the theater patrons see me cheyenne scalps, stood and applauded. lincoln unfortunately remains mute on the sand creek massacre. did the cries from extermination trouble him? perhaps not. after the stressful reelection campaign of 1864 the commissioner of indian affairs wrote his annual report and praised the energetic action of governor evans. once the true reality of sand creek came to light, however members of lincoln's party , publicly condemned the atrocious event and called for reform of indian policy. a congressional committee was authorized to investigate and of the sordid affair ultimately concluded after lincoln's death that the cheyenne were mutilated in the most horrible manner. had he lived, perhaps he would have been among those in which the sand creek massacre had left a bad taste in the mouth and more humane policies may have happened instead of militaristic campaigns for extermination. of course

that is the sand creek massacre in colorado in 1864. this massacre involves the colorado militia and cheyenne and arapahoe. they were people that often, they hunted the buffalo in band that ranged from the northern rockies down into colorado on the front range of the rocky mountains. they often hunted together and lived together. in the samek about group, even though they are distinctive people. with the mining strikes in the colorado mountains, the rocky mountains, in the 1850's, there was great pressure on the western indian tribes to live on smaller reservations in which they would be confined to not interfere with over land travel. and the cheyenne and arapahoe supposedly agreed to a reservation under the fort wise treaty of 1861, a treaty that reduced cheyenne and arapahoe land to a small chunk of land in eastern colorado. this treaty was problematic as most are, that not all cheyenne and arapahoe signed this treaty or acknowledged it as valid. those that did sign it, that they actually know what it meant. these treaties are all pr

in short, the sky is not falling in colorado. instead what makes the current situation intolerable is the disconnect between federal and state law. for instance, every single state legal cannabis transaction in colorado is federally illegal. that means the dollars involved are the proceeds of an unlawful transaction under the federal money laundering statutes. that means that all the different parts of our economy that connect to any legitimate business plumbers, electronics, lawyers, accountants, landlords, et cetera, risk being federal criminals for serving a client under colorado law. that means the industry a year in colorado is nearly all cash. banks will not accept industry money for fear of recollect torre action or federal forfeiture keeping the dollars out of banks means we lose at built to trace where the dollars go. it also means that it is harder to ensure that all taxes are being paid. it makes it easier for criminals and the market to pose as legitimate. and it leaves hundreds of millions of dollars in cash in the s

i was in colorado, i'm a democrat.dent obama came to colorado so many times, started having difficulty getting people to show up because he's here again. in our party he is revered. on for skewing and how the winner take all rule which is the essence of the problem, is skewing public policy. >> i want to hear trend explain medicare part d and the oil spill in terrible things the electoral college is responsible for. >> here's what happens if you take away the electoral college. presidential candidates don't -- every voter is equal, right? i will start talking to people and get to 350 million. i wish we could do that but that's not how the world works. david bloom and karl rove, they would sit down and build a campaign strategy around something and it would have to be where our most people and you do polling and i participated in polling where you look not so much at that but how easy it is to change their minds and you build a profile how to change people's minds and compare that to population density so the suburbs of

i was there in colorado.'m a democrat. 2008-2012,bama, from came to colorado so many times, we had difficulty getting people to show up. they're like, oh,my god. he's here again? and in our party, he's revered. so we've got to remember in this giving and the winner take all rule, which is the essential problem, it's skewing public policy. moderator: i do want to go to the audience, but first i want to hear trent explain medicare part d and the oil spill the terrible things electoral college is responsible for. trent: again, here's what happened if you take -- get rid of the electoral college. karl rove don't vanish. they don't say i don't need you guys anymore because every vote is equal. i'm just going to go out and start talking to people. eventually i'll get to 350 million or whatever. again, i wish we could do that. but that's not how the world works. then david luther, karl rove, they would sit down and build a campaign strategy around something. and i think it would have to be, where are the most people

to colorado so many time we had difficulty getting people to show up.h my god he's here again? [laughter] and in our party he is revered. we have got to remember on the skewing and the winner take allis rule. >> first i want trent to explain medicare part d and the things that electoral college is responsible for. >> here's what happens if you take away the electoral college, and david duke and karl rove they say i don't need you anymore. i would just go out and start talking toeoeo people and with t 350 million i wish we could do that. then they would all sit down and build a campaigngn strategy i think it would have to be where is the most people. not so much what people believe but how easy it p is. and how it is to change certain people's minds so in the suburbs of houston are where you thank you can swing 500,000 votes if something happens in houston or pensacola and those people are set in their ways you still have politics. i don't like porkbarrel spending and more concerned with the way that congress works and the way it doesn't but people go th
