Cory Voorhis update
I attended a fund-raiser last night for Cory Voorhis and his family. The crowd was over 100, including local radio talk show host Peter Boyles. People lined up to thank Cory for the fight he’s taking on. Perhaps the most moving moment was when a 5-year old boy donated his allowance to Cory and his family as a Christmas gift to then.
It was fortuitous timing that this event was scheduled just hours after Senator Jeff Sessions, the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, which is where Stephanie Villafuerte will have to go to get confirmed as US Attorney (I think she’ll withdraw soon and she’ll never get to committee), offered the first hint that he is aware of and concerned about the Voorhis case:

The Denver Post picked up the Sessions/Napolitano/Voorhis issue with a front-page story:

The Voorhis prosecution is about to blow up in the governments’ faces – by governments (plural) I mean the federal side with the corrupt Denver ICE office and the Colorado side with the malfeasance by the Denver District Attorney’s office and the Ritter Campaign during his run for governor.

Thank you Ross for this interesting article and for posting this video. It is important for the Cory Voorhis story to get out across the country. Justice for Cory needs to be swift - the corruption in Colorado politics is not productive for all concerned. Hopefully, this issue will be resolved and Cory Voorhis will get his job back and full benefits restored. He deserves nothing less. Special thanks to Senator Sessions for asking Ms. Napolitano about the firing of Cory Voorhis of which she wasn't aware.
