Ideas for making the 2020 Presidential elections much, much better:

Preserve local neighborhood caucus system, here's why:

Kent Thiry: Many want to be on a team.

“We believe a huge percentage of human beings want to be part of a real team—a team that cares about each other, that’s serious about accomplishing something, and wants to do good along the way” Kent Thiry quoted in 5280 Magazine

 http://www.5280.com/magazine/2012/09/strangest-show-earth   

Yes. That's why our wonderful neighborhood system for nominating to the primary ballot is such a good thing when it has good leadership, which it has not had for some time.

Why were Initiatives 98 and 140 now assigned the numbers 107 and 108.

Question: Initiatives 98 and 140 are now Propositions 107 and 108. Is this number shuffle always done? If so, why?

Answer: We asked who before he retired was one of the most knowledgeable election law experts in Colorado. He was unaware of this.

Starting in November 2010, Initiated Statutes are assigned numbers beginning with 100, restarting at 100 after 199, and instead of calling the measure an Initiative it is called a Proposition. See Colorado Revised Statutes, Title 1, Article 5, Section 407; Article 40, Section 115; Article 40, Section 124.5and Colorado Constitution, Article V, Section 1, ¶ 7.5

The director of research for the Colorado legislative council uses these new numbers in the Blue Book, an impartial voter information pamphlet with an abstract of the fiscal impact study and arguments for and against the measure. 

As a result, those who have read about the Initiative, perhaps worked on getting the signatures required to get it on the ballot, now have to trash any signs or other materials with the original number. Wasteful and confusing, to say the least.

This is another example of change not necessarily bringing progress. 

After citizens have invested in getting the initiative onto the ballot, publicizing the initiative number that the Secretary of State assigns, the Secretary of State then gives the measure a new number that will appear in the Blue Book and on the ballot. 

Let this be a lesson with the changes being proposed for our elections this year. Change isn't progress, vote NO on Propositions 107 and 108.

Wholistic, unifying "Caucus" vs caucuses: American English is Changing Fast.

Online political battle with Wikipedia, Colorado Caucus, Iowa

Caucus, etc., statewide civics lessons every two years, brings major

political parties to consensus for best candidate, being attacked by

those who'd rather have the AstroTurf of Presidential Primary. One

of line of attack, propaganda trying to force usage from Caucus to

caucuses. Look back online, change seems to first start happing in

2008.

Colorado Caucus article on Wikipedia needs your help.

Colorado Caucus article on wikipedia needs to be improved. Would you help tell the story about what happened here in Colorado March 1? Clearly the two state chairpeople of both major political parties were trying to kill the Colorado Caucus. They both were on TV the weekend before March 1 criticizing the process they both had been elected to improve and protect!

Tell the story of March 1 on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_Caucus

Save the Caucus! Vote NO on 140 and 98.
