Even More GOP Seal Abuse

Many of you will recall the scandal two years ago that resulted from Senate Republicans' misuse of the Seal of the State of Colorado (usage of which is only allowable by the Secretary of State for official purposes, violation is a felony) on their decidedly unofficial partisan brochure website. The Rocky Mountain News reported at the time:
[Senate Minority Leader Andy] McElhany said he removed the Colorado seal from coloradosenatenews.com after Secretary of State Mike Coffman reminded party caucuses April 2 they can't use the seal in communications.

It's a felony to use the state seal for anything but official documents. [Pols emphasis]

This isn't the first time Republicans violated the state's strict rule about misusing the seal.

Brad Jones edges into the Colorado Independent's domain

Some Web surfers looking for the Colorado Independent's website might end up at the left-leaning news Web site's ideological rival instead.

Brad Jones, the editor of the conservative news website Face The State, told media critic Jason Salzman on Tuesday that he's the owner of ColoradoIndependent.org - a URL oddly similar to the Colorado Independent's domain name, ColoradoIndependent.com.

Visitors to ColoradoIndependent.org are re-routed to FaceTheState.com.
