The State of Colo-Racket and The Toll Road

 

This is an update on my on-going saga with the Colorado Public Highway AUTHORITY concerning their toll roads electronic billing system.  I have been derelict in the timeliness of my response because I've had to wrestle with my conscious.  Do I owe this money or not?  If I owe it, then I should pay it - but do I have an obligation to pay when I didn't agree to pay anything and the charges that I allegedly owe were incurred by ambush.  I made my absolute decision not to pay it when I received a letter from the office of Linebarger, Googan, Blair & Sampson, LLP., telling me that an additional charge of $20.00 has been added to the electronic toll billing bringing the original $9.45 bill to a total of $34.45.

Here's the story.  After I posted my Travel Advisory - Colorado Toll Road Racket, OK-SAFE picked up the story and wrote an article about it because I traveled through Colorado to go to the Researcher's Conference in Tulsa sponsored by OK-SAFE and because toll roads in general are an issue because of the privatization of our highways (ISTEA of 1991 legislation), George H.W. Walker's unconstitutional Executive Order 12803 ordering the sell-off of national infrastructure assets and the plans for the Trans-Texas Corridor which were for the road to become a toll road operated by the Spanish company Cintra.  

In my original letter to the Colorado Public Highway Authority, I told them I was going to issue a travel advisory about the Colorado Toll Road ambush on my website.  The CPHA apparently did a search and found the article that was posted on OK-SAFE's website because I received a letter from Dave Kristick, Deputy Executive Director referring to it along with pictures of the toll road, a map of the highway system, etc.  The following are links to the letter and the enclosures sent to me by Dave Kristick:

Photos of Toll Road signs according to Dave Kristick.  There is only one sign that I can assume I know the placement of - and that's only because of the Google satellite images of the highway system that I captured (see below). 

The following is the letter I just wrote to Dave Kristick with a CC to the law firm.

RE: Response to your letter to me dated September 17, 2012 concerning toll road charges



Dear Mr. Kristick,

Thank you for the photos and the information about your electronic ambush system – especially for the map. I don’t see the picture of my license plate. Nor do I see a photo of the precise location where I entered the toll road. That location would have to be an exit from the Interstate, I-25. But regardless, from the photos you did send, I recognize the highway. Your surveillance system should have picked up the fact that I pulled over to the side of the road to check the map to see where I was because it seemed to me that I was headed out towards the boondocks because there was very little traffic on the road. I now understand why the road is virtually deserted.

Enclosed you will find 7 satellite images showing Interstate 25 from Fort Collins which apparently turns into Highway 87 through Denver and which has an exit only lane to your toll road. It should be noted that these images are from Google Earth and they are static. They show the roadway only and not the real time traffic. At the time I was on I-25, the traffic was fast moving but very heavy.  What these maps show is that if a driver inadvertently is in the exit only lane at the split, they are stuck with no way to avoid the toll road ambush.

I just received a letter from your attorneys Linebarger, Goggan, Blair & Sampson, LLP., notifying me that another $20.00 has been added to charges – bringing the original amount of $9.45 to $34.45 with a threat to add more if I don’t pay up. The letter included the Colorado law that allows you to do this along with the information that I can request a hearing but doing so could possibly add additional costs plus the non-renewal of my vehicle registration.

Your contract is with the State of Colorado and the citizens of Colorado. I am not a party to your contract and I am not bound by it’s terms as it pertains to electronic billing for toll roads. For the record, it is against the law to provide material support to a criminal racket and the State of Colorado Transportation Department is clearly running a racket. If the citizens of Colorado are stupid enough to allow their government to restrict their right to travel by privatizing highways and contracting with private-for profit corporations to manage those roadways, then they can drown in the charges and live under the tyranny of the racketeers but those chains do not extend to out-of-state travelers through your state unless they explicitly consent to the toll road charges.

I’ve enclosed a picture of Checkpoint Charlie. I suggest that you set one up at each of your major roadways where unsuspecting out-of-state travelers enter your state so you can get them to sign a contract agreeing to pay your outrageous charges for traveling. You can be assured, that I will NEVER again enter the State of Colo-Rackets.

Sincerely,

Goldman Sachs?   Of course they would be involved.   'Foreign Direct Investment'    selling America out from under us. 

Stay tuned for my next post that will include some background history on Colo-Racket's leading the way towards New World Order treason.
