Erin Lee explains how a broad coalition of parents, churches, and activists won three Colorado ballot measures despite limited funding and strong opposition.
The brief
Glenn Beck argues Thomas Massie’s impeachment effort against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confuses policy disagreement with impeachable wrongdoing and targets an official carrying out presidential orders.
Discussion of threats near the White House, including an alleged armed Venezuelan migrant, becomes an argument for border enforcement, screening, and sustained attention to political violence.
Erin Lee recounts a legal fight after her daughter joined a secret school club promoting gender transition and secrecy from parents, then explains why she kept organizing.
Lee says Protect Kids Colorado overcame a left-leaning political environment, limited funding, and heavily funded opposition to pass measures on trafficking, women’s sports, and minors’ medical procedures.
The campaign’s broader lesson is organizational: churches, parents, activists, and people across political and religious lines built support through local conversations and persistence.
