Seems some politicos find the peasants revolting

How dare the dirty, little, peasants participate in governing.

'Alarming': Democrats in leftist state now want to eliminate citizens' input to government
'Voters have repeatedly voiced support for transparency, fiscal limits, and the right to challenge government action through the initiative process. Yet here we are again with those same rights back on the chopping block'

Democrats across America have used the talking point "destroying democracy" to describe anything they don't like.

It's Donald Trump. It's identification for voting. It's secured ballot counts.

Now, apparently, it's majority Democrats.

That's because a report at Complete Colorado explains how majority Democrats in the state are trying to banish citizen comment from the state's "democracy." Democrats hold the majority in both the House and Senate in Colorado, as well as the governor's office.

This is the state where all Democrats on the state Supreme Court tried to ban President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot. This is the state that has gone to the Supreme Court, twice, in its attempts to dictate the thoughts and censor the statements of business owners.

And lost twice.

Now the Complete Colorado article confirms, "A new Democrat-backed bill moving rapidly through the Colorado legislature poses a serious threat to one of the most fundamental rights in our state Constitution: the right of citizens to initiate laws through the petition process."

This comes at a time when lawmakers also are attacking the state's Taxpayer's Bill of Rights, a constitutional amendment from decades back that requires voter approval for tax increases beyond the growth of the population and inflation.

It's already been undermined by state lawmakers who repeatedly have claimed that their new taxes actually are not taxes but "fees."...

Though they could more easily quit voting for STUPID.

No link. No substantiation.

Nothing burger for a change.

Snick (yawn)

I don’t know what he’s bitching about. I live in deep red Texas and we have no citizen led petition process for instituting laws or changing the state constitution.

I can guarantee you that if we did it’s likely that we would have a constitutional amendment ballot initiative to legalize abortion.

Not saying that we would pass it but it certainly would be on the agenda.

From the article: Democrats across America have used the talking point "destroying democracy" to describe anything they don't like.


Sort of like how the MAGAts refer to anything they don't like as woke.
