Colorado Amendments 47,49,54 Attacked by Unions

There has been a pretty vicious fight in Colorado over several Amendments that will appear on the ballots aimed at putting a collar on rampant union violations of worker’s rights this year. The unions have imported all sorts of outside groups and money to defeat these worker freedom Amendments.
Here is a page from the latest anti-worker rights the unions have sent out.
As AnCap of the People’s Press colorfully says of these claims:
Amendment 47: How does giving firefighters the right to choose whether they want to join a union take their equipment and tools away? Amendment 47 will only take away power from Union Thug Bosses from strong-arming firefighters to join a union. The amendment actually protects an individual firefighter’s right to choose what’s in his best interest.
Amendment 49: Doesn’t dictate how hardworking firefighters spend their paychecks. It prohibits Union Thug Bosses from stealing money out of firefighter paychecks. It requires Union Thug Bosses to ask before taking money from our hardworking Colorado firefighters.
Amendment 54: Closes campaign finance loopholes for corrupt, scumbag corporations who presently can spend millions of dollars in campaigns to get crooked politicians elected and then can be rewarded by those politicians with multi-million dollar NO-BID government contracts. Small businesses actually benefit from an Amendment 54 even playing field allowing them to compete for those same government contracts. Working families benefit because our tax dollars don’t go to crooked politicians paying off corrupt, scumbag contractors with multi-million dollar political favors. In addition, Amendment 54 sets up a statewide searchable database that allows us, the hardworking Colorado families, to see which politicians are handing out NO-BID government contracts and which contractors receive them. We should be able to see exactly how our tax dollars are being spent.
In any case, these union thugs will go to any lengths, including lies apparently, to win the fight.

Bravo! YES on 54 will clean up the corruption and level the playing field for small business. To listen to the latest radio ad that exposes the “unholy” alliance between big business and the union bosses, go to http://www.CoCleanTeam.com.
excellent post! minor correction in your post title – it’s not 47, 49, and 50; it’s 47, 49, and 54. keep up the good fight!
Ooops. I’ll change that. I had it right in the body of the piece. Thanks
I got this piece…it’s a flat out lie and good job on calling them out. It’s sad that there isn’t a real debate – just lies to scare people. I hope they will see through it and vote with me — YES ON 54!!
Amazing how they are allowed to blatantly LIE in order to try to influence the vote.
Perhaps an amendment to show who actually supports these made up groups, such as “Coloradans for a blah blah blah” is in order.
