Senate Candidates Forum Up Next, November 10
Why is the nation watching our state's race for US Senate? And who will be the next Governor of Colorado? A pair of Centennial Institute forums this month digs for the answers, as the countdown to Election 2010 is now inside 365 days.
Governor of Colorado - November 3
Contenders for Governor in both major parties were invited to face off on Tuesday, November 3, at 7:00 p.m. in the CCU Music Center Auditorium. Taking part in the sold-out event (see report and news links on our '76 blog) were Republicans Scott McInnis, Josh Penry, and Dan Maes. Democrat Bill Ritter, the incumbent, sent his regrets.
U.S. Senator for Colorado - November 10
Contenders for United States Senate in both parties will have a similar opportunity on Tuesday, November 10, at 7:00 p.m., again in the CCU Music Center Auditorium. Jane Norton, Ken Buck, Tom Wiens, and Cleve Tidwell, Republicans all, have confirmed they will attend. An invitation is pending with Sen. Michael Bennet (D), and participation was declined by Andrew Romanoff (D).
The facility is on the SW corner of 1st and Garrison in Lakewood, south of 6th Avenue and north of Alameda. Both forums are being taped for later statewide airing on Colorado Public Television and Salem Radio Network.E-mail us for free tickets to the Senatorial showdown on November 10. Please provide your name and how many in your party.

Gabriel Keynotes 9/11 Commemoration as Sharia Alert Project is Launched
Brigitte Gabriel, founder of ACT for America and author of two books on Muslim subversion, addressed an audience of over 300 at Colorado Christian University on the 9/11 anniversary. Her topic was "America Confronts Radical Islam."
Ms. Gabriel thanked CCU for hosting her, in contrast to the dozens of prestigious campuses where her message is unwelcome because they are, in her words, "occupied territory" for Islamist sympathizers, partly due to the millions in petro-dollar grants (which she listed in detail) bestowed on those institutions by Arab donors.
She urged Coloradans to inform themselves about the unusually high levels of jihadist activity present in metro Denver, nourished by radical mosques. That was on Friday. The following Tuesday, world headlines focused on terrorist suspect Najibullah Zazi of Aurora, Colorado, who has since been indicted on WMD charges.
Centennial Institute Director John Andrews, introducing Ms. Gabriel, announced that with her help and that of Centennial Fellow John Guandolo, the institute will seek to build awareness of radical Islam through a new project called Sharia Alert. Details on the project are here.
