Colorado’s anti-fracking campaign is a bust – again. But make no mistake: The campaign goes on.

According to CBS Denver, environmental activists have nowhere near the number of valid signatures needed to put two anti-fracking measures on the November ballot. This is a huge embarrassment for the national environmental groups behind the anti-fracking push – including 350.org, Food & Water Watch, Sierra Club and Greenpeace.

...

One way or another, the environmental left is making a big move in Colorado this year. The anti-fracking campaign isn’t going anywhere – it’s just going to be reassigned to support a much bigger political operation funded by Steyer and other left-wing donors.

Folks I am of the opinion that America is in grave danger anyway. Those in charge have to have Hillary because our economy may grow tremendously under Trump. Just take every position and research it objectively.
With the economy the way it is it keeps our people in turmoil and no one can fight the rich and oppressive.
The government can keep pitting us one against the other and who has less to worry about as long as they can control everything. They have their security details and gated communities.They have their off shore accounts. How many people have you seen talking about the rich other than those in leadership who have kept the rich increasing the whole time our economy has a down turn and I mean the Bushes also. Hillary talks trash about the Rich and she and Bill have been in the top 1% for years and have kept it hidden.
I have had a hard time wondering why so many Republicans are for Hillary. The only reason is money and they are afraid what an outsider like Trump would turn up if he is in the White House. There can be no doubt in any sane person's mind that this government has controlled the Justice Department and covered for Bush,Obama and the Clinton's. Please folks wake up and study Lets elect Trump and find out why we went to war in Iraq and what the Clinton's Obama and the Bushes have to hide.
I hope Trump has some separate security watching over him.Our government leadership both Democrat and Republican I believe may quite well be guilty of War Crimes. And I have no doubt they could kill kim if he has a chance. All I ask is research objectively!

It’ll be handed-off to the EPA, Dept of Ag and BLM to issue crippling statutes and regs, to kill it.

So what happens next?

It will come back next election and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. And there will be 10 movies about it and there will be 20 sitcoms about it. The MSM will talk about it every day. The teachers will have the kids marching.

And they will beat people over the head until they vote for it just to shut them up. Same recipe for EVERYTHING the left does. You got to give it to them for perseverance.

Or some judge or the EPA will “make a law,” even though they can’t do that.

Steyer is running Ads all the time here in CA against Trump and against the mean Big Oil Companies.

Apparently Renewable Clean Energy is responsible for 600,000 new Jobs in CA. Never heard that one.

Children’s Asthma cases are also dropping like a rock in CA thanks to Renewable Clean Energy according to Steyer. But be warned, of those man Big Oil Companies have their way, those same Kids will be dying in the Streets.

Nothing more dangerous than a Rich Socialist.
