My friends,

This is the hardest thing I have to do. My beloved Antoinette passed away Monday morning, December 13, 2010.

Antoinette was not only the love of my life, but I chose her to run with me in the last election. Her passion for animals would of carried over to public office, as a strong advocate for those without a voice.

I will post more as time permits.

Donations in memory of Antoinette can be made to:

Denver Dumb Friends League

American Heart Association Denver Chapter.

Rest well Antoinette, and thank you for our time together.

The following is a copy of an email I sent tody.

I have been expecting for some time the news regarding Dan Maes finances
released today.

I believe that part of the blame can be put upon the Colorado Tea Party.
Like Dan, I received a number of emails from the Tea Party with a series
of questions to be answered in order to determine my position on a number
of issues and basic questions regarding my philosophy relative to the role
of Government. In my case, I declined to answer. My own belief is that all
parties have something to offer, and I did not want to go into this race
representing one party or the other.

As for those questions, a fundamental mistake on the part of the Tea Party
was that the questions were sent with no time limit specified. I saw that
without a limit, a person could "game" the system by studying the
questions and formulating answers suited to the stand being taken by the
Tea Party.

When Dan Maes was caught in what I will publicly call a series of lies,
the Kansas "secret agent", Frieda Poundstone, reimbursing excessive
mileage and misrepresenting himself as a successful businessman, and
before the final day for withdrawing, Dan refused to step aside. I knew at
that point that Dan Maes was not going forward as a matter of principle.
Anyone of principle would have withdrawn, if not for the good of the
Republican Party he claims to represent, but to put a stop to the public
humiliation.

In my mind, there had to be another motive for Dan Maes to remain in the
race. That motivation is now clear, greed. Dan Maes has used his candidacy
as a personal ATM. I stated some time ago I believed that shortly after
the election, Dan Maes and what was left of his campaign finances would
disappear. I may of been a bit premature in that statement. The money is
gone, and Dan Maes is finished on November 2nd.

Dan Maes has done harm to the Republican Party. The Republican Party will
be deemed a "minor party" and according to current Colorado law, cannot
regain major party status until after the next Governors election in 2014,
unless the legislature changes the law prior to the election.

There is one thing that Dan Maes has earned by his candidacy, a place in
history as one of the worst candidates ever to enter a race.

What happened to the Republican Party in Colorado?

There is a wealth of information available as to the current situation regarding the Republican duly-elected nominee, Dan Maes, and the now new choice Tom Tancredo.

Republicans in Colorado are being asked to forgo their primary winner and instead shift their vote to a third party candidate. Tom Tancredo did not enter the race to represent a party, but to stop John Hickenlooper from winning in November.

Tom Tancredo convinced the American Constitution Party to drop their chosen candidate, and put himself in Mr. Goss` place.  The ACP was on the ballot, and presented a convenient slot available for Mr. Tancredo.

Think for a minute, what if the ACP was not on the ballot. There are other recognized parties in Colorado, and if one of them were on the ballot, would the Colorado Republican Party approach one of them, in order to get Mr. Tancredo on the ballot.

Here is a list of what I believe is all the recognized parties in Colorado:

American Constitution Party of Colorado
Colorado Democratic Party
Green Party of Colorado
Libertarian Party of Colorado
Colorado Republican Party
Unity Party

For the first weeks, the talk coming from the Republicans and Tancredo smacked of a personal war against John Hickenlooper and the Democratic Party, not a desire to serve the people of Colorado.

Did you sign on as a Republican, just to be told where to go with your vote, even if it is not a Republican candidate?  What happens when the Republican Party is finished using The American Constitution Party? Do you know anything about your now new party, the American Constitution Party?

There is but one choice for a Republican voter, that is the Republican candidate, Dan Maes. Unless you happen to like packing your bags and moving every time it is convenient for the Republican party.

This is the worst example of party politics I have ever seen and the reason why I believe that party politics  is a failure.

It’s time to go Independent.

I believe that all Candidates for Governor should be heard. There are 9 candidates (excluding myself) for Governor of Colorado, and to each of them I make this offer.

I have an Internet radio show every Sunday on Blogtalkradio.com It is an extension of my web site, Chatmag.com and I have preempted our usual Interactive Internet show to focus in on the Governors race.  The show airs every Sunday afternoon at 4 PM Mountain time, at www.blogtalkradio.com/chatmag

In fairness to the other candidates, I am offering each candidate a half hour on the show. Not to debate, but to introduce yourself and your campaign. I will act as a silent moderator, with the least amount of interruptions. It would be your time. If you would wish to take callers, we can facilitate callers via our show switchboard.

Please contact me via email at petecarr@carrforgovofco.com for details and to arrange a Sunday show.
