What's something we could do to change something small in CO?

[Uberjager]

I'm not talking about a landmark colorado supreme court case, but maybe we could do an open carry trash pickup protest or something similar, that would show we care, and protest a small law that would be easy to overturn?

Any thoughts on this?

I've been thinking about convincing the DOW to give out free fishing licenses to people who show up to clean up a local lake, stream, pond, fisherie, etc for a day.

I've also mentioned working together to write up a bill that will hold all elected officials to a higher standard than civilians. Something where there is a minimum threshold, and any crime committed (while in office or running) at or above that level will come with a MANDATORY jail/prison sentence. Politician wants to raise our taxes but is later found to have been dodging paying his/her own taxes? Immediate jail time. If they don't like the rules, don't run for office.

Violates the 14th Amendment, which is a good one I might add

[Irving]

What specifically does it violate?

[OgenRwot]

Equal protection under the law. You can't have different penalties for different groups of people.

ETA:
Also check into the Civil Rights Bill of 1866. This put into law that

All persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall have the same right in every State and Territory to make and enforce contracts, to sue, be parties, give evidence, and to the full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of persons and property as is enjoyed by white citizens, and shall be subject to like punishment, pains, penalties, taxes, licenses, and exactions of every kind, and to no other

[Irving]

You can when the person is in a position of trust, no?

[OgenRwot]

Pretty sure that's only with minors and the disabled.

[Irving]

Hmm, interesting. That would make sense.

I say lets go for gold and push for arizona, vermont and alaska carry! Would it even be possible here? I belive it has a fair chance.

I'll do it. Let's take out the trash, I mean pick up the trash. Do you think we need to file for a protest permit or something? I'm guessing some how LEO would need to know ahead of time what were doing.
