Tonight, at 9:30 p.m. Republican state Senator Owen Hill sent an email to his supporters to tell them that he was ending his campaign. He noted that U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner had the best chance of beating U.S. Senator Mark Udall and that he “pray[s] that he does”.
Not only did Hill end his campaign, but he did so with great homage to something so lacking in our society – respect for human dignity. It’s this trait that above all else should inspire and compel the masses to vote for right-leaning candidates. Part of Hill’s farewell message:
One of my favorite scenes in all of literature is toward the end of One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. Prisoners in the gulag are forced to build a building for their captors in the frigid Siberian weather. Two bricklayers are working back to back and when the time comes to quit for the day, instead of stopping, both men race to see who can lay their remaining bricks the fastest. While they risk upsetting the guards, human nature drives them to compete, to work, and to win. Even the worst conditions could not fully suppress the dignity and pride given by their Creator.
All in all, Hill’s farewell message was most inspiring and optimistic for the future. Hill closes his note by saying that he is “more energized than ever for [his] work as a State Senator”. We’re glad to hear he’s still looking forward and hope to see him run again in the future.
Perhaps, if we filled congress with patriots instead of RINOs there wouldn't be anyone left to shut them down. (Ron Paul shuts himself down.)

I commend Owen for his work. Owen is a great liberty fighter and even though he is out of the race, he changed the conversation and woke a lot of people up with his message. He is one of the very few legislators in Denver that is against the recent push for an Article V convention because he understands that there isn't anything wrong with our Constitution…we just need to stick to it!!
Let's STAND with Owen and stand up for our Constitution before we lose it!
Please help us spread the word and start contacting your representative to ask them to vote "NO" on any legislation supporting an Article V convention.

I am so proud of Owen. He's a great guy and will do wonderful things for the GOP in the future.
Owen, I am so sorry to see you drop out of the race; but I understand and respect your decision. In addition to your preeminent qualifications, our party needs your youth. We have a dearth of youth amongst our elected GOP members, not to mention ethnic minorities and diverse opinions. WE ARE OUR WORST ENEMIES!
We need to be more proactive in seeking to grow the Party. We are all interested in a great America and we have shared values and differing opinions and personalities. NO ONE GROUP HAS ALL OF THE ANSWERS! God did not make us that way! But we can come together and rally around the common goals like less government, respect for our Constitution and encourage personal responsibility. It is NOT the role of the federal government to regulate our lives
He needs to get out of politics and work with the independent liberty groups and strengthen We The People. He would have been great in office most likely but would have got nothing accomplished since he seems to have morals and a conscience and the GOP would have shut him down i.e. Ron Paul.
Sad.
I would have been interested in seeing the primary results had he remained in and continued to campaign.
