| Description | This weekend, Jane Norton marches in three parades. Yesterday, she marched at a parade at Cherry Days in Paonia, at 10:00 AM. Today she’s marching at the Montrose Parade, starting at noon, and the Grand Junction parade, which starts at 5:00 PM. She faces a tiring two days of three parades, and by the end of today, she will be wiped out. But Jane Norton loves to celebrate America’s Independence, and the principals that it stood for.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.”
Ironically, the United States rebelled against the tyranny of Parliament and King George III in response to high taxes to pay for government spending. Jane Norton continues this fight against a large central government. In her interview with the Colorado Statesman, Jane Norton explained that she “was a lieutenant to a governor who cut taxes 43 times, 30 of them permanently,” and that she decreased the spending of both budgets entrusted to her by Colorado. At the end of her time as head of the state health department she had cut the spending by 28 percent in four years. During her four year term as lieutenant governor, she cut it by 10 percent. |
