C.O.R.E.'s activities in Colorado have been linked at the hip to the Astroturfwellian group "Colorado Consumers for Affordable Energy," which is run by former GOP state Rep. Rob Fairbank of Littleton. Fairbank, also the former Political Director of the Colorado Republican Party, is founding partner of Politically Direct, a Denver-based political consulting firm that "specializes in voter ID, GOTV, and voter contact programs."

Fairbank recruited Bishop Phillip Porter, himself the founder of something called the "All Nations Pentecostal Church of God in Christ" in Aurora, to be his front man.

Funny thing, Innis and Porter are the only folks of color on the web site. Whodathunkit?

Innis has been lost for decades. He claims desire to help the poor, but what has the organization achieved over the past two decades?
