We are joined by Casper Stockham, Republican candidate for Colorado's 6th Congressional District.  We cover a lot of topics that we believe are of interest to our listeners on both sides of the aisle (and even outside of Colorado) and have provided audio bookmarks in case you're interested to hear only part of our conversation (of course, we hope you'll listen to the entire thing).  Also, we've provided quite a few reference links for this episode that provide additional data, opinion and analysis on each topic we discuss.

Voting rights ~16:55
Illegal immigration ~26:15
