Amen on 47, the progressive policy is YES for worker rights and no to forced dues/unionism.

I say YES to 54. This is progressive, government and businesses doing inside deals will be outed.

If the answer is no, then YES on 47. This simply re-enforces federal law.

Amendment 47 will bring real employee free choice - it is pro freedom plain and simple.

Many union workers back 'right to work', they are saying YES to Amendment 47.

"Every person in Colorado will agree that our economy is struggling. There are thousands of people who are finding it difficult to pay their mortgage, pay their energy bills or put food on the table.

It's never right to force somebody to give up part of their paycheck to a private organization against his or her will. But in these tough economic times, it's an even greater injustice.

As union workers, we support Amendment 47 because it will return power to the individual, and we hope you join us. It's imperative we pass Amendment 47 in November to advance personal freedom and individual liberty for every worker in Colorado.

This is BS. We can give via 3rd parties. McCains campaign finance have provided so many better ways to collect and distribute funding. i.e. CDA

Plus this really targets big corporates, they are too lazy to compete and cheat smaller Colorado firms every day.

Try real employee free choice in the workplace, that is Amendment 47.

Tim Allport represents the private sector Union Bosses, too lazy to work hard for their members.

Tim look at ColoradoWINS. State workers have the Right to Work and ColoradoWINS has been very successful.

YES on 54 too. Stop the source sole inside dealers from ruining the ability of government workers to select the best solutions in a competitive environment.

You know if the Denver chamber opposes it ... its gotta be the right thing for our smaller businesses that are the backbone of Colorado.

The Boulder Daily Camera supports Amendment 47

http://www.dailycamera.com/...

Let workers choose: Giving workers a voice is the purpose of unions

"We think the best thing about this particular measure is its potential to make unions, when needed, better. Happy, well-compensated workers with good benefits who are treated fairly aren't tempted by, nor do they seek out, unions. And when they do, the unions provide a balance that the government and the courts do not.

The upshot for workers under Amendment 47 is that once the unions are in place, the lack of a guaranteed membership means the unions will have to continue to deliver on their promises in order to thrive."

Ritter’s Pro-Big Labor Play “Inane”

The Denver Post http://www.denverpost.com/h... has taken Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter to task for firing the first shot in the battle between Big Labor and workers, calling his pro-union-bosses giveaway “inane.”

Ritter’s weakness also has been exposed in his inability to avert a nuclear showdown on this fall’s ballot between business and labor leaders. Ritter provoked the business-sponsored right-to-work initiative with his inane executive order granting collective bargaining rights to state workers.

That, in turn, provoked labor to run a handful of ballot measures that would be devastating to Colorado businesses. And Ritter, so far, has been powerless to stop it.

Ritter needs to spend this summer somehow rebuilding the coalitions he frittered away with his labor giveaway. Otherwise, Coloradans can look forward to two more lackluster years while the state’s highways, bridges and universities crumble.
