ovember 25th, 2016 was another sad day for law enforcement, and specifically the Colorado
State Patrol when Trooper Cody
Dougherty was killed while conducting a traffic accident investigation on Interstate 25 near Castle
Rock. As law enforcement officers
continue to be under attack across
America, this tragedy is more concerning because it could have been
prevented by a basic understanding
of traffic safety and the dangers associated with emergency vehicles
on the roadways. Because of this
tragedy and the several close calls
your deputies and I have encountered over the past few months, I
wanted to take a moment to explain
the laws regarding your responsibility to yield to emergency vehicles.
Colorado Revised Statute 42-4705, Operation of vehicle approached by emergency vehicle
operation of vehicle approaching
stationary emergency vehicle or
stationary towing carrier vehicle
is quite lengthy but requires specific actions by drivers encountering
emergency vehicles on the roadways. As outlined in the statute,
Upon immediate approach of an
authorized emergency vehicle making use of audible or visual signals,

the Colorado State GOP
website. Three weeks before election only 19 out of
49 Colorado legislators had
signed the letter of support
for Mr. Trump. In comparison, all 51 Democratic
Colorado legislators signed
a similar letter to support
their candidate Hillary, in
spite of her email debacle,
pay for play and other blatant scandals affecting her
campaign. The Colorado
delegation led the walk-out
shunning Mr. Trump at the
National Convention in the
Conscience Movement.
After Trump won the primary the RNC/Colorado
GOP ground game was
missing in many counties
or weak. Dollars spent by
the RNC to help Romney
vs. Trump was in the million dollar range. Positive
messaging for President
Trump was driven by PAC
dollars - not the GOP calling and door knocking effort. Calling or knocking
doors consisted of Who
are you voting for Trump
or Hillary? An attitude of
embarrassment that Trump
was our candidate prevailed. In Pueblo County,
the GOP field director in-
physical threats.
Many,
many people thanked the
wavers profusely for being
out there. The positives
kept us going and were
Pueblo Trump organizers distributed 5,000 yards signs to Pueblo and neighboring
counties.

Johnson, Bernice Rivera,

of GOP, Tea Party activists, unaffiliated voters and
former GOP party chairs
Frances Mathews and Tom
Ready. Before the primary, an early social media
presence was formed on
Facebook; Coloradans for
Trump.
The Pueblo group decided
to approach campaigning
and get out the vote effort
with an outside out of the
box in your face but friendly method. This effort was
not coordinated with the
Colorado GOP/ RNC or the
Colorado Trump campaign
which made the decision to
let the Colorado GOP and
RNC guide and direct the
campaigns efforts. After
the primary, the Pueblo
Trump Street Team was
developed and deployed.
This team literally hit the
streets on corners in the
busiest times with positive messaging for Trump
that would resonate with
local Puebloans. Being on
corners engaged in eye to
eye direct contact, reaching thousands daily, we
encountered drivers who
were about 5:1 positive for
Trump. We also encountered nasty anti-Trump
vitriol, resulting in being
sworn at with the worst
possible language, things
thrown at us and a few
