Their name was taken from the massive and ugly student-led riots and police counter-actions in Chicago in 1968 both inside and especially outside the Democratic Conventions. Aligned with the Colorado <i>ACLU</i>, <i>Recreate ‘68</i> spent most of its time complaining about the heavy Denver police presence which they said “deprived our protesters of their 1<sup>st</sup> Amendment rights to freedom of speech and freedom of expression.” Since Hickenlooper was ostensibly doing everything possible to ensure a smooth-running DNC in the city he serves as mayor, his charity’s long-standing association with radical groups such as those mentioned and especially with <i>Recreate ’68</i> seems a product of questionable judgment at best. Hickenlooper refused to disavow <i>Chinook</i>, <i>Recreate ’68</i> or any of the other groups that <i>Chinook</i> subsidizes. </font></span></b></p><p style="line-height:200%;text-indent:.5in;margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="line-height:200%;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:12pt;"><font color="#000000">The mayor has found himself dogged by many improprieties and annoying revelations of late . . . apparent preferential treatment his restaurant received in cases involving liquor violations and frequent hiring of illegal alien workers have not gone down well with the voters. But the two most high-profile situations are the loss of 31,000 jobs in Denver as Hickenlooper oversaw tax hikes and made Denver a <u>“sanctuary city”</u> bringing thousands of illegal aliens to town to exploit Denver city services. The <i>Chinook</i>, and particularly the <i>Recreate ’68</i>, donations raise deep questions of judment. How does a politician promise to execute a flawless national convention while donating money to people who’s stated interest is to disrupt and villify the convention and the conventioneers? But Hickenlooper’s connection to the utterly corrupt <i>ACORN</i> organization bent upon Cloward-Piven tactics and strategies to undermine the nation’s economy and advance marxist goals shows the man’s real character.</font></span></b></p><p style="line-height:200%;margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"></p><p style="line-height:200%;margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="line-height:200%;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:12pt;"><font color="#000000">Ya’ll live long, strong and ornery,</font></span></b></p><p style="line-height:200%;margin:0in 0in 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="line-height:200%;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:12pt;"><font color="#000000">Rajjpuut</font></span></b></p></div>
