SUMMARY:Debate on religious liberty in the public square
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an important debate on religious liberty in the public square. What does it mean to balance the separation of church and state?

The list goes on and on. \nThis debate will feature Dr. Alex McFarland of American Family Radio with Theresa Lynn Sidebotham\, Esq.\, founder of Telios Law PLLC\, against Michael L. “Mikey” Weinstein\, founder and president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) with Scott Moss\, Esq.\, who teaches and conducts research at the University of Colorado Law School. \nThe event is sponsored by the Colorado Fireline Coalition and will be moderated by Dan Caplis\, morning radio host for KNUS 710 News/Talk. \nTuesday\, April 11\, 2017\n7:00 pm – 9:00 pm\nColorado Christian University Event Center\n8787 W.

SUMMARY:Ken Buck: Drain the Swamp
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an important evening to hear from Congressman Ken Buck about his new book\, Drain the Swamp. \nLavish parties. Committee chairmanships for sale. Pay-to-play corruption. Backroom arm-twisting. Votes on major legislation going to the highest bidder. Welcome to Washington\, D.C.\, the swamp that President Donald Trump was elected to drain. \nCongressman Ken Buck is blowing the whistle on the real-life House of Cards in our nation’s capital. Elected in 2014 as president of one of the largest Republican freshman classes ever to enter Congress\, Buck immediately realized why nothing gets done in Congress\, and it isn’t because of political gridlock—in fact\, Republicans and Democrats work together all too well to fleece taxpayers and plunge America deeper into debt. \n“It is an insular process directed by power-hungry party elites who live like kings and govern like bullies\,” Buck reports. \nBuck has witnessed first-hand how the unwritten rules of Congress continually prioritize short-term political gain over lasting\, principled leadership. When Buck tangled with Washington power brokers like former Speaker John Boehner\, he faced petty retaliation. When he insisted Republicans keep their word to voters\, he was berated on the House floor by his own party leaders. When other members of Congress dared to do what they believed to be right for America instead of what the party bosses commanded\, Buck saw them stripped of committee positions and even denied dining room privileges by the petty beltway bullies. \nIn Drain the Swamp\, Buck names names and tells incredible true stories about what really happened behind closed doors in Congress during legislative battles that have ensued over the last two years including budget\, continuing resolutions\, omnibus\, trade promotion authority\, Iran\, and more. If the Trump administration is going to bring real change to Washington\, it first needs to get the whole story—from deep inside the swamp. \nApril 10\, 2017\n7:00pm-8:30pm\nColorado Christian University\n180 S. Garrison St Lakewood\, CO 80226 \n<a href=”https://www.formstack.com/forms/?2621480-Ls5mHs3gx1″ title=”Online Form”>Online Form – CI – Issue Monday – April 10</a> \nOnline Form Maker\n \nAbout the Speaker: \nCongressman Ken Buck is a Republican from Windsor\, Colorado who serves on the House Judiciary Committee and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. He is also a member of the Judiciary Subcommittees on Immigration and Border Security and Crime\, Terrorism\, Homeland Security and Investigations. He is rated by Heritage Action as the most conservative member of congress. \nOne of three brothers\, Ken worked his way through high school\, college\, and law school as a janitor\, truck driver\, furniture mover\, and a ranch hand. After law school\, Ken worked for Dick Cheney on the Iran-Contra Investigation and then became a prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice. He has also served as a District Attorney in Weld County\, Colorado and as a business executive at the Hensel Phelps Construction Company.

SUMMARY:From Transgenderism to the Abolition of Man: Our Posthuman Future
DESCRIPTION:While much has recently been made of movements such as those for gay marriage and transgenderism and their impact on society\, church and family\, they are in fact only the warning signs of a much larger agenda\, namely the redefinition of humanity itself. This talk will introduce listeners to new movements coming out of universities\, think tanks and alternative spirituality groups which question our basic understanding of what it means to be human. In its place they are proposing a vision which would radically alter not only basic social norms\, but also laws\, technology and even biology itself. Some of the issues posthumanism raises include: “human rights” for animals and machines\, biologically merging humans with other species\, and recognized romantic relationships between humans and nonhuman entities. This is sure to be an informative and provocative evening! \nFebruary 13\, 2017\n7:00pm-8:30pm\nColorado Christian University\n180 S. Garrison St Lakewood\, CO 80226 \nLecture given by Michael Plato\, Assistant Professor of Intellectual History and Christian Thought at Colorado Christian University. \n \nOnline Form – CI – Issue Monday – Dec 16 – COPY \nOnline Form Maker

Bradford went through countless stints in rehab and then a much longer stint in prison. When he got out\, he turned back to drugs.Then Paul Grodell gave Bradford a job and took him under his wing. “For the first time ever there was a man who didn’t want anything from me but to see me get healthy\,” Bradford says. Grodell’s effort succeeded where government programs didn’t and transformed Bradford’s life.

SUMMARY:Issue Monday - The U.S.-China Relationship: The Unfolding Strategic Competition?
DESCRIPTION:Randall Schriver meets with Ma Ying-jeou\, former President of the Republic of China. \nJoin us for a public briefing about the U.S.-China relationship and the unfolding strategic competition with the former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs. \nThe United States and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) may have arrived at an inflection point in the bilateral relationship. While some analysts continue to believe a cooperative relationship is possible\, and that the U.S. and the PRC can form a G-2 type partnership to tackle a range of global challenges\, an increasing number of analyst see a very different trajectory. China’s assertive behavior and confrontational rhetoric suggest we are the leading edge in what will be a long and intense strategic competition for dominance over the Pacific Rim. While American strategists Andrew Marshall\, Robert Kaplan\, and Aaron Friedberg each began foretelling of this great power struggle over a decade ago\, recent events seem to underscore this view. In February 2016\, the U.S. Secretary of Defense\, Ashton Carter\, announced that great power competition has reemerged as the Pentagon’s top priority\, and he expects it will define the next 25 years. Later in the month\, the Commander of the U.S. Pacific Command\, Admiral Harry Harris\, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that China seeks hegemony in East Asia. \nAre the U.S. and China destined for strategic competition? Can the relationship be managed to ensure the competition is benign\, doesn’t result in military conflict\, and allows for cooperation to exist where our interests align? Can robust trade and economic ties be sustained in an environment of growing rivalry? What are the key policy choices U.S. decision makers must make to shape the relationship toward its optimal state? Wise and prudent stewardship of a variety of challenges simultaneously will be required for there to be sustained peace and stability. This discussion will examine the current environment and will explore what policy approaches should be adopted by Washington. \nAbout Randall Schriver\nRandall Schriver served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs responsible for the People’s Republic of China\, Taiwan\, Mongolia\, Hong Kong\, Australia\, New Zealand\, and the Pacific Islands. Prior to joining the Asia Bureau\, he served for two years as Chief of Staff and Senior Policy Advisor to Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage. \nRandall Schriver was the Foreign Policy Director for the Huntsman for President Campaign (2011-12)\, a foreign policy advisor on the McCain for President Campaign (2008)\, on the Bush-Cheney Defense Transition Team (2000-01)\, and worked on the 2000 Bush-Cheney campaign as a member of the Asia Policy Team. \nRandall Schriver is one of five founding partners of Armitage International LLC\, a consulting firm that specializes in international business development and strategies. He is also CEO and President of the Project 2049 Institute\, a non-profit research organization dedicated to the study of security trend lines in Asia. He is also a Senior Associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. \nRSVP Today\nAdmission is free and all are welcome\, but reservations are required.

SUMMARY:Issue Monday: Suicide by Doctor
DESCRIPTION:The Centennial Institute is hosting a physician-assisted suicide policy discussion with Carrie Earll\, Carrie Ann Lucas\, and Michael Norton. \nThis legislative session again explored allowing doctor-assisted suicide to be legal in Colorado. Fortunately\, both Democrats and Republicans prevented this from happening. Unfortunately\, the issue continues to arise across the country with more and more states including California making this legal. Join us for an important policy discussion to understand why if such a measure became law\, it would invert the doctor’s time-honored role from the sacred duty of sustaining life to the ghoulish power of terminating it. \nLeading the discussion will be Carrie Earll\, Vice President of Government and Public Policy at Focus on the Family\, Carrie Ann Lucas\, J.D.\, CWLS\, Founder and Executive Director of Disabled Parents Rights\, and Michael J. Norton\, J.D.\, President-General Counsel of the Colorado Freedom Institute. \nSpeakers: \n \nRSVP Today\nAdmission is free and all are welcome\, but reservations are required. Complete the RSVP form below or call 303-963-3424 to reserve your space. \nParking for Leprino Hall is located in the shared parking lot on the West side of campus. If entering from Alameda\, follow the drive around campus to the West side. If entering from Garrison\, the parking lot is near the entrance. \n\nOnline Form – CI Issue Monday – April
