Colorado voters have rights guaranteed under our State Constitution.
And that includes, “the power to propose laws and amendments to the constitution and to enact or reject the same at the polls independent of the general assembly.”
Coloradans exercised that right in 1992 when they added the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR) to the State Constitution.
Thankfully, TABOR has been a roadblock to preventing excessive taxation, and out-of-control government growth.
The economic opportunity and freedom we have in Colorado, is in large part, thanks to TABOR.
Of course, that’s why greedy politicians want to repeal TABOR and grow the government to control more of our lives.
This year, we’ve seen State Legislators introduce a lawsuit to challenge the constitutionality of TABOR, and use the taxpayer’s funds in an attempt to overturn the will of the people.
In this video, Natalie Menten shares other examples of Citizen Initiatives that Coloradans have made into law, and explains how this right is guaranteed in the Constitution.
As we discuss, the people of Colorado have the right to alter or abolish our government, because the power comes from the people, not the politicians.
This is a great reminder of how our society allows the government to have power, but ultimately, we can take it back!
