Tim Bennett’s Insights on Freedom First and the CO Elections

At the August 20, 2025, Republican Strategy Meeting Tim Bennet, a prominent figure in the Freedom First movement, shared his thoughts on various pressing issues, including election fraud, differential privacy, and the importance of grassroots efforts in achieving political success.

Bennett began by highlighting the friendly atmosphere of the Lincoln Day Dinner and then delved into the topic of elections. He explained that differential privacy (DP) is a technique used by the Census Bureau to protect confidentiality, which involves adding noise and false records to the data. Bennett noted that Netflix had used similar methods, combining gender, birthday, and zip code information to identify individuals. He claimed that up to 500,000 false records were added to the census using DP, making it impossible to determine who is legal or illegal. Bennett pointed out that in Colorado, up to 4 House seats are represented by illegal immigrants, and that moving Broomfield in CD 7 to another district could change CD 4, which is represented by Lauren Boebert. He suggested that this is why former President Trump wants to redo the census.

Bennett then provided an update on Freedom First, stating that the organization had raised about $150,000, which is earmarked for specific purposes. Currently, there are 5 colonies up and running out of the 13 throughout the state. Lynda Keck is the El Paso County and Douglas County representative. The organization has purchased $32,000 worth of L2 data that is analyzed to help with the different campaigns. L2 data provides very comprehensive information on individuals. Bennett then discussed the use of walk apps, such as 360 and Numinar, which is affiliated with the state GOP, to target voters effectively and uses the L2 data.

There was a lengthy discussion about rural Colorado. Bennett mentioned the alarming issue of farmers selling off their water rights and the fact that the farmer suicide rate is three times higher than the rest of Colorado.

There was a discussion about Catherine Austin Fitts and her description of Plunderers, describing HUD (Housing and Urban Development) as a criminal enterprise. Austin-Fitts’ advice is to take care of our families, get to know our local banks and farmers.

Freedom First, according to Bennet, uses the scientific method to identify issues and potential solutions. The organization then seeks out politicians, such as Jeff Crank, who agree with their solutions. Bennett proposed an idea about bridging the gap between the two sides of the party, which has been used in Arizona and Washington, D.C. He called it “reverse coat tails” or the “inverted pyramid,” emphasizing that the success of your subordinates is crucial. Local wins fuel state successes, and every House seat improves the chances of success. For Jeff Crank to win, he must take a personal interest in the lower races and focus on the entire party. 

Bennett suggested using PACs to optimize campaign funding and adopting a team strategy, believing that they can flip 11-14 seats in Colorado. With the use of PACs, more than one candidate can benefit from the same campaign material in like a “buddy system”. This is how conservative school board candidates are teaming up on the same marketing material and running as a slate. Bennett recommends donating to PACs instead of individual candidates.

Bennett mentioned Rich Wyatt, the county chair in Jefferson County, and the Liberty Party’s appreciation for what they are doing. The Liberty Party has pledged not to run against Republicans, and the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners plan to contribute. Bennett stressed the need for a unified message to achieve victory, stating that victory doesn’t trickle down but rises up. Winning elections is about Cooperation, Coordination and Bridging Gaps!
