Are you a good neighbor? Do you want to be?
PLEASE SHARE OR TELL US WHY NOT,
CALL (720)495-4949 WE DON'T READ EMAIL.
Do you live in a good neighborhood?
Whether it is good or not, do you want to help make it even better?
If you do, we invite you to join us in this new effort.
We are forming a network of people across Colorado who want to be good neighbors by taking a couple of hours each month to:
#1) greet newcomers as they move into your neighborhood; and #2) email all your neighbors each month to help them learn, initially about our wonderful Colorado Caucus. (What's that? Search on Google or on Wikipedia.org click here.)
As you may know, our Colorado Caucus is the best chance for your neighborhood to be represented by the best people, very often the average, ordinary person who reads the newspaper and votes, but other than that may not have had much if any partisan political experience.

Release: Impact of Election Changes on Small Business.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 8, 2017
The Undoing of The Colorado Caucus
What It Means For Small Business
DENVER, COLORADO—"Changes in the way citizens get on the election ballot may be devastating to small business in Colorado," says long-time community activist John Wren. "Large businesses have lobbyists who represent their point of view, small businesses in Colorado have primarily communicated with their representatives through the Colorado Caucus process."
"Here’s one suggestion for turning this negative situation into a positive. Local libraries have an opportunity to get involved by holding workshops

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.
