For the past four decades I\u2019ve compared what they say to how they voted constitutionally; you know, the Constitution they swore an oath to, \u201cserve and defend against enemies foreign and domestic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The historical, objective votes do not lie, as can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenewamerican.com\/freedom-index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.thenewamerican.com\/freedom-index<\/a>. When you enter \u201cScott Tipton,\u201d you\u2019ll find that his constitutional votes have steadily declined over the past nine years in office starting in 2011: 80%, 68%, 56%, 57%, 66% (2019). The really cool thing about the website is that you will learn why the votes are right or wrong for our once strong nation. When I took the Army\u2019s oath to serve the Constitution, they didn\u2019t give me an option to defend less than 100%, nor my son who is serving now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">How serious should the oath to the Constitution be taken before the USA is on its deathbed like Greece and Venezuela? I certainly hope that all of the politicians listed on the website respect their wedding vows better than their wayward votes against the Constitution! Check it out; a huge percentage of the politicians are 20% or less, meaning they spend more time with their mistress (Marxism), than they do with their spouse (Constitution)!<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">We already have U.S. constitutional term limits every election depending on the office; two, four, or six years before they have to face the electors again. The challenge is that we need more educated, freedom-loving voters to elect constitutionally obedient candidates. Tipton\u2019s time has come to step down and allow Lauren Boebert the chance to turn our republic around constitutionally by making the States strong again. She deserves the chance to represent Colorado in the U.S. House and if she can\u2019t hit the 100% mark constitutionally, then you get to decide in two years if her term is up. Vote for Lauren Boebert when the ballots are mailed in early June.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col\" readability=\"6\">\n<div class=\"row at-donation at-donation-mobile p-0\" readability=\"7\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-4 p-2\">\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.aspentimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/AT-logo-white.png)\" class=\"p-0 mt-2 mb-2 h-75 text-center rocket-lazyload\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.aspentimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/AT-logo-white.png\" class=\"logo m-0 p-0 invisible\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"d-inline mr-3\">Support Local Journalism<\/h3>\n<p><button class=\"btn d-inline\" type=\"button\" onclick=\"handleDonationButtonClickMidArticle()\">Donate<\/button><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"STND-STND Letter Name\">Jerry Law<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND Letter Title\">Glenwood Springs<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div readability=\"11.303082191781\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-7 pt-3 pb-4 at-4 pl-4\" readability=\"19.164371772806\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.aspentimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/AT-logo-white.png\" class=\"logo\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Readers around Aspen and Snowmass Village make the Aspen Times\u2019 work possible.
