Come join us in overdeveloping what's left of our mountain vistas and open spaces. Act now, 'cause it's going fast!

A web site opening with an article/letter explaining how we really want to overdevelop. Include a photo of that development on I-36 (I think it's called Rock Creek?) and describe the changes on the way to Boulder that have developed in the last 5 years. Talk about the brown cloud and weekend traffic on I-70. Praise the new stadium. Advocate for more shopping malls. (we've only added two honking ones in the past 5 years). Talk up the McMansions outside of Golden and elsewhere. In general, promote Wretched Excess. Maybe add that our local merchants (I think there are two? Pat Bowlen and the guy who owns that brewpub? Aren't all the rest national chains?) are counting on the new populace to enrich their coffers? Oh yeah, and Wal-Mart. Add that we need more cultural creatives to enhance the market share of Dave & Buster's and Hooter's, and maybe add a few more of each to the Denver skyline...

While everyone loves John Hickenlooper and Angela Baier these days, there are better ways to boost Denver's economy than promoting more growth-which would mean more traffic, sprawl, pollution, and so on.

Please send any other slogans or ideas for the campaign to jason@causecommunications.com. If there's enough interest, we'll create a web site and promote the campaign further.
