On Tuesday, February 10, 2026, former state senator Kevin Lundberg and Athletes for Action co-founder Megan Burke rally support for Protect Kids Colorado’s three ballot initiatives in the final days of signature collection, while constitutional scholar Rob Natelson celebrates his 40th citation at the United States Supreme Court and Jon Boesen of Boesen Law discusses navigating insurance claims.

Kevin Lundberg, former Colorado state senator and Protect Kids Colorado board member, reports that over 2,000 volunteer circulators have gathered signatures for three ballot initiatives aimed at protecting children. With only days remaining before the petitions must be delivered to the Secretary of State, the organization needs just under 125,000 valid signatures and is racing to compile and notarize the forms. Colorado requires notarization of citizen initiative petitions, a more burdensome process than most states, but volunteers have risen to the challenge by earning notary certifications to streamline collection.

Representative Scott Bottoms introduced legislative versions of all three initiatives using three of his five allotted bills, giving the Colorado General Assembly a final chance to act before voters decide in November. Lundberg says the legislature shows no signs of moving in that direction, and the current session is instead advancing legislation he calls “the worst bills.” Twenty-six states have already enacted similar protections for girls sports, and a group in Maine followed Colorado’s lead to qualify their own ballot measure. The petition drive has drawn both enthusiastic support and hostile pushback from opponents, but Lundberg says the overwhelming majority of Coloradans sign when they hear the plain facts.

“We’re going to give them one last shot at doing the right thing before we put it before the people through these initiatives.”

Megan Burke, a 15-time Colorado state champion in track and cross country who earned a full scholarship to the University of North Carolina, brings firsthand athletic experience to the fight for fair competition. Burke co-founded Athletes for Action to provide young female athletes with community, education, and the confidence to speak up. She reports receiving weekly messages from parents whose daughters face boys competing in their leagues, from JV soccer to U9 softball, and has witnessed it personally as a youth soccer coach. Burke points to Paula Scanlan‘s experience at the University of Pennsylvania, where the swimmer had to change 18 times a week alongside a fully intact 6-foot-4-inch male competitor.

Burke challenges the premise that placing biological males in girls’ categories qualifies as inclusion, arguing it actually excludes girls from their own spaces and opportunities. She cites data showing men jump 25 percent higher, are around 30 percent stronger, and punch 162 percent harder. At Denver’s East High School, she notes, the second floor has a boys’ bathroom and an all-gender bathroom with no dedicated girls’ facility. New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte‘s veto of a bathroom protection bill the previous Friday adds national context. Burke urges parents and community members to have calm, fact-based conversations that can shift perspectives and to sign the Protect Kids Colorado petitions before time runs out.

“If one girl is not allowed to be on the field because a boy is playing, or if one girl’s medal is taken away, or if one girl is injured on the field because a boy is playing in their sport and injures them, that is too many.”

Jon Boesen of Boesen Law brings listeners a practical warning about the insurance claims process. Insurance companies, while necessary, are for-profit enterprises whose adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Boesen explains that adjusters routinely challenge liability even when it is clear, attribute injuries to pre-existing conditions without evidence, and probe for any angle that reduces the value of a legitimate claim. Injured individuals who speak with adjusters without legal counsel risk providing information that undermines their case before they understand how the system works.

Boesen also touches on the immigration debate, suggesting a “look back period” for people who came to the country legally, examining their conduct over two to three years before granting permanent status. He urges listeners to contact Boesen Law for a complimentary consultation at 303-999-9999, emphasizing that early legal guidance changes outcomes in personal injury, workplace, and medical malpractice cases.

“Insurance companies are always looking for a way to minimize, and sometimes they go way over the line.”

Rob Natelson, constitutional scholar and former law professor, announces his 40th citation by a United States Supreme Court justice, a distinction placing him among the top ten most-cited legal scholars in the nation and the only one not affiliated with a prestige law school. Justice Clarence Thomas relied on Natelson’s 2003 article on retroactive laws in a recent ex post facto case, where the court unanimously ruled that Congress could not impose additional restitution penalties on defendants convicted before the law’s passage. Natelson’s journey of Supreme Court citations began in 2013 after joining the Independence Institute in Colorado.

Turning to the 150th birthday of the Colorado Constitution, Natelson argues the 1876 document was among the most liberty-oriented constitutions ever adopted by any state. The original allowed only one statewide tax, the property tax, capped at two mills per dollar of assessed valuation, meaning a $400,000 home would owe no more than $800 annually with no other taxes whatsoever. Strict spending limits, debt restrictions, and a ban on appropriations benefiting private persons or corporations reinforced fiscal discipline. Over 170 amendments and adverse court rulings have since gutted those protections. Natelson and callers also explore sanctuary city law and the Supremacy Clause, the constitutionality of ICE administrative warrants for deporting individuals with existing removal orders, and state resistance to Second Amendment rulings. His book is available in a fourth edition on Amazon.

“The Colorado Constitution of 1876 and the Montana Constitution of 1889, which largely copied the Colorado Constitution, were really the high watermarks of freedom-oriented Constitution writing in the United States.”
