CODA - CCM Colorado Springs Chapter

This page displays various documents from the Colorado Democracy Alliance that were used to turn Colorado "blue" in 2006 and then the country in 2008.

Please read and share this information with your friends, family and children. There is also a link at the bottom to download all of these documents as a PDF file.

The names on this list are both well known and not well known. One thing is for sure, everyone on this list obsolutely objects to the American belief system and the beliefs of most American's.

They believe America is flawed and needs to be fundamentally changed. These are the people we're fighting in Colorado and across America.
