I urge you to watch “Rocky Mountain Heist,” a one-hour documentary produced by Citizens United and hosted by conservative blogger Michelle Malkin that tells how a quartet of liberal millionaires and politicians in Colorado, characterized in the film as the “Gang of Four,” changed the once-red state of Colorado to blue, in the course of a decade. Wealthy patrons and out-of-state special interests were involved. The film is no longer being shown, but if you Google “Rocky Mountain Heist,” you can watch the promo and purchase the disc. Michelle’s blog Oct. 17 tells how the producers were taken to court to prevent the film being shown. A great many out-of-state special interests and money appear to have been involved against the film, one being Colorado Ethics Watch.

In light of the MIT economist Jonathan Gruber’s many remarks referring to the public as “too stupid to understand,” this film shows other Democrats saying essentially the same thing. Gruber was retained by the White House to help create Obamacare. The promo shows Gov. John Hickenlooper, on camera, referring to the “rural backward-thinking” electorate. One of their campaigns listed on a memo was called “Educate the Idiots” with a subheading “Target: minorities.” They used the AFL-CIO in their efforts. The Gang of Four’s creation, The Colorado Democracy Alliance, and its success in Colorado has become known as the Colorado model. CODA gave birth to the national group, the American Democracy Alliance that was formed to target other red states, Texas and Virginia among them, in an attempt to duplicate the Colorado success. Their progressive agenda includes social justice, climate change, voting rights, gun control, illegal immigrant amnesty and campaign finance as well as sustained strategic investment to turn red states blue.
