Jann —
I knew that when my father left the White House 10 years ago, he was not going to stop working to give people the opportunities, health, and
tools necessary to live a better life.
His vision of a more equal and prosperous world motivated his decision to run for his first public office (and all thereafter). It is that same force that motivates his work with the Clinton Foundation today.
As we celebrate 10 years of my father’s foundation this year, we’re looking to the future, and asking friends and allies to be part of creating that future.
Please share your thoughts on what challenges you think the Clinton Foundation should tackle in the next 10 years — and please let my father know that you will stand with him in this work.
I recently had the honor of attending the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) — an annual meeting he organizes to inspire, connect, and empower a community of global leaders to forge solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.
The experience was invigorating, but it is the action that comes out of these meetings that is truly inspiring. Since the first meeting in 2005, members have made more than 2,000 commitments, which have already improved the lives of 300 million people in more than 180 countries.
That same commitment to meaningful and sustainable results can be seen in the remarkable work of the Clinton Foundation over the past decade — transforming lives by giving people across the globe the tools they need to create better lives for themselves and their communities:
I am very proud of the incredible work my father’s foundation does — every day, all year long, in every corner of the globe — to change the course of people’s lives for the better.
He inspires so many of us; he inspires me every day. So, let’s give a little inspiration back as he embarks on his next 10 years of service to our global community.
Please send your thoughts about where the Clinton Foundation should go in the future — and please let my father know that we’ll stand with him as he continues his work around the world:

Plastic Bags out and the DEA is coming to Boulder
Oct 13th
Plastic Bags I certainly hope the Boulder city council gets rid of those things. They should have done so 20 years ago. Here’s whats wrong with plastic bags. First off they get tangled in the machinery at Recycle Boulders and cost thousands of dollars each year in repairs. They are are dangerous for children. Hundreds die each year by accidental suffocation. They are totally non bio degradable. When they are dumped at sea in garbage disposal from cities and cruise ships, they kill fish and wash up on beaches all over the world. Finally, they are terrible grocery bags. They break, or spill groceries all over your car. They suck and have pissed me off for a long time.
When the DEA comes calling in Boulder Don’t say we didn’t ask for it. They busted California and now they are coming to Boulder. The entire state of Colorado has recklessly legalized marijuana with little or no controls. Boulder has been the worst violator. The entire city council especially Macon Cowles have been criminal in their actions and I won’t be a bit surprised if some city officials are arrested when the DEA starts busting down doors. Cowles has publicly stated that he advocates breaking federal control substance laws. The DEA works in a vacuum and does not notify local police or District Attorneys when they come crashing down. They swoop in in mass, start arresting people and hauling them off to federal holding detention centers. They don’t even use the local sheriffs jail. Not only that, they don’t give a shit what you think and will not bend to protests or congressional pressure by Jared Polis. They laugh at him . And the joke is going to be on us when the DEA come. I’ll tell you one thing I wouldn’t want to be anywhere around the MMJ business.
The other problem is that so many kids have been turned into drug addicts by city of Boulders irresponsible actions. I volunteer to help a lot of these kids. It is heart breaking what has happened over the past two years. So many young kids lynched by the city in their stupid selfish decision to allow children the access to illegal drugs and growing operations.
note to you dear reader: Today I begin Jann Scotts Journal again after a 5 year hiatus.

BTV takes over Boulder Public Access CATV-54
Jan 1st
January 1, 2006
As 2006 begins BTV takes over public access channel 54 as a sole source provider contracted by the city. After attacking CATV 54 for years the city barely allowed the people to have a channel while their channel 8 prospers from franchise fees. BTV receives no Comcast funding. This is an absolute attempt by the Boulder City council to suppress freedom on speech while keeping the government voice of propaganda alive and well.

This is an absolute attempt by the Boulder City council to suppress freedom on speech while keeping the government voice of propaganda alive and well.
This current city council has also proven itself racist by not allowing Tim “:Black Cowboy” activist to hold a partial silent vigil during his 3 minutes public participation in front of council. He attempted to hold up news headlines and not speak while trying to bring attention racism here in Boulder. He was interrupted by the city attorney who told council that they were not forced to endure his silence. Tim was then forced to speak. He was clearly singled out by council because he is a black activist. Rodrigo Garcia , boulder businessman and argentine attorney was also shunned by city staff and council when he attempted to become part of the bid process for public access TV. Mr. garcia also has a case against council because he has openly stated that he was discriminated against because of his hispanic roots. I witnessed both of their treatment and was shocked. This city council claims to be writing hate speech legislation, yet they derailed their own Human Relations Commission work at opening a hot line. In fact the commissions work was openly assailed and illegally micro-managed by council . the city manager publicly apologized.
Even so the Chair of the human relations commission condemned councils actions toward Public access TV and accused them of violating the first amendment by trying to silence the voice of the public. the evidence continues to mount as the NAACP begins to investigate councils actions. Interesting how things change. i was condemned by council for my use of parody on easter sunday and now during Christmas Holidays the city council is up against the ropes by three groups for violating civil rights in earnest. I used to be a TV cheerleader for the city and council but as we enter 2006 i must say this is the most intolerant, suppressive city government in recent history. at least my taped magazine shows will continue on BTV 54. Jann Scott Live will not since it was a target of Council as was the live studio at the Dairy. But I will continue my voice of descent on Channel 8 during public participation at their own council meetings. then i can look them in the eyes and discuss that which they hate: my voice uncensored.
