Support for Refenda Y an Z

I am still a no on these. The Republican Party in Colorado has let Republican voters down for years so I'm not exactly bolstered by the fact that 4 of the named commissioners will be R. Given how easy Dems made it to change affiliations, they can easily slip sleepers in and the headline in the Denver Post and TV news will be "indepedent commission said to" ...

Hold politicians and political parties directly accountable, don't let them pretend to put things on so-called "independent" commissions.

There needs to be a time requirement for membership in a party. In order to be considered a "Republican" on the commission, you should have been registered as a Republican for a least two election cycles. OR the parties get to pick their commissioners at their conventions. Of course this still means Democrats can futz with the "Independents".


I've really agonized over this one, but then I went and looked at the endorsers on the campaign's web site https://fairmapscolorado.com/endorsers/ and I remind myself that Democrats are evil and Republicans are stupid ... too many D's (especially WAY LEFT D's) like this therefore it must be evil.

If D's hated it, I'd vote for it.

It's got huge bipartisan support so I expect it'll pass, but not with my help.

Guess my gut was right, then.

If it's got a penny of Bloomberg money in it, it's a NO.

Who gets to write the algorithm?

It's pretty interesting how there are so many people from out of state who are taking an interest in Colorado politics and putting down some serious funding to transform our state into something unrecognizable.

Yup. Same as it always was. Look up Pat Stryker's bio and the timing of her activism in the state.

You should also see where FakeMexican Beto's millions have come from! And ~40% of TX (according to "polling") are stupid enough to pull the lever for him.
