Mesa County’s Lobbying Firm Attempts to Illegally Access Election Systems
It been reported that Jeff Small, a lobbyist and a principal at the Grand Valley-connected 76 Group, has called at least ten Republican county clerks, claiming White House-backing in an attempt to gain access to voting machines.
The 76 Group also known as EIS Solutions is part of a shadowy cabal of influence peddling firms tied to Grand Junction’s very own Josh Penry, a once rising star of the Colorado Republican Party, and now just a grifter selling our democracy to the highest bidder.
Mesa County Clerk Bobbie Gross said in an email to the Rev, “My chief deputy received a call that we presume was part of the 76 Group. They did not ask about our equipment, they wanted to know who our project manager was in 2020 and 2021 with Dominion. This is not public information and we did not release any information.”
Mesa County contracts with EIS Solutions for lobbying efforts at the State and Federal level. Mesa County pays EIS/76 Group $10,000 a month.
It’s also been reported that Small tried to shake down Colorado counties that appeared on the federal list of Sanctuary Jurisdictions. He offered to remove counties from the list for a “small one-time fee.”
AOC Votes to Arm Israel, Gets Backlash

Epstein List Divides MAGA and is Irrelevant at the Same Time
The fallout from the non-disclosure of the Epstein files is doing real damage within the MAGA movement. Trump is suing FOX News owner Ruppert Murdoch for coverage in the Wall Street Journal, much of his base is not remaining silent, and many MAGA influencers and podbros have broken ranks. But let’s be real, we don’t need a client list. We have his little black book, and flight logs for the ‘Lolita Express.’ We also have depositions from numerous lawsuits, we know who is on the list. We just have to listen to and believe the victims. Trump and Clinton should be cellmates!
Polls Show Trumps and Dems Losing Support
Donald Trump and the Democratic party have more than a few things in common, but record low approval ratings for both should give you a dose of revolutionary optimism as people give up on our two capitalist, imperialist, and racist parties. Trump’s approval rating is hovering around 40%. The Dems are at 28% approval rating. In another poll, 62% of self-identified Democrats think the entire leadership of the party needs to be replaced.
Have you Hurd? Our Congressman Covers for Pedophiles
A series of two banner drops occurred in recent weeks on overpasses along I-70. Banners question Hurd’s actions which protect Trump and Epstein’s famous clients. A communique sent to The Rev and other grassroots information outlets stated, “By voting no, Hurd chose secrecy over transparency, shielding information that could help bring accountability and justice. The public deserves to know more about who and what is in these files. We demand more from our elected representative.”
Mesa County: Dodging Accountability Under Guise of Fiscal Responsibility
The Mesa County Board of County Commissioners recently sent a letter to the Governor and the leadership at the Colorado Statehouse complaining about unfunded mandates by the state. One of the laws they take exception to is HB21-1250, ‘Measures to Address Law Enforcement Accountability.’ The commissioners claim that complying with state Use of Force reporting requirements and cloud storage for body camera footage costs the county $180,000 a year, and requires a full-time employee. It defies credibility that reporting data that every department already gathers to the state requires a full-time employee. If so, that’s too much use of force. MCSO’s bodycams have proven to be a critical tool for holding deputies accountable, like when deputies assaulted a student at Central High school in April of 2024, and most recently in the Goncalves case. Body camera footage has also proven useful for the Sheriff’s office in clearing deputies of wrong doing in cases of lethal uses of force.
Fire Season, Global Warming, New Normal
Western Colorado is having another epic fire season. Burning eyes, deadly heat, extreme drought, and hazy vistas seems to be our new normal. All while the EPA is gutted and even the most miniscule efforts to move past the burning of fossil fuels are being rolled back.
Britian Socialists break from the Labour
