TABOR Committee Commits to Defeat of Lobato Lawsuit
At its Annual Meeting last Friday, the TABOR Committee reaffirmed its support for the defense against the ongoing lawsuit, Lobato v. Colorado. The TABOR Committee has retained pro bono council to file an amicus brief making The TABOR Committee "friends of the court." Due to a recent ruling by the Court, filing is being held in abeyance.
“The TABOR Committee is eager to become a part of this very important lawsuit,” declared Penn Pfiffner, a former state legislator who was re-elected Chairman of the TABOR Committee. “The Directors voted unanimously to vigorously oppose this potentially very damaging case. It is wrong constitutionally for the judicial branch to take over education funding, and would do great mischief to overturn the voters’ longstandingwishes to control the size of government and its rate of growth.” Continue reading
Join us at the People’s House Roundup in Westminster
I am letting you know of a People's House Round-Up that is going on in Westminster. Many have already occurred in Colorado and the Westminster one is scheduled for November 9th. These are great events that allow local folks to talk with their legislators as well as meet members of the Colorado House Leadership team. The small donor funds raised at the event will help expand our majorities in 2012. Since the energy and turnout has been so great, this is one of three additional locations to be added.
Please feel free to forward this invitation to any and all of the Republicans in our part of the Front Range.
Regards,
Rep. Priola

Help Needed Right Here in Adams County!
Immediate! Very Short-Term!
Many of you may be aware of Proposition 103, which will appear on the ballots to be mailed out in just 8 days. It raises our taxes in the name of K-12 education, but it is a Democratic ruse for simply fattening government coffers. (And even if it DID throw more money at education, that's not the answer to our education problems!)
We need to stop Prop 103!
We have 200 "No On Prop 103" yard signs which need to be posted. The committees who gave them to us would like them to be posted on main thoroughfares. BUT, the problem is that, in most jurisdictions here in AdCo, rules about signs have tightened. So we need to look at private property locations — either good locationyards (corners!) or private commercial property. If you don't have either, you might know someone (or several people) who has/have. Please help! Let me know how many signs you can place (heypattymac@juno.com ) and we'll make arrangements.
We also have 2000 half-sheet flyers to get out. If you would be willing to help distribute them outside a store (I have the rules for that) or otherwise, please contact me.
You're needed. If you can help in any way, please let me know!

Reapportionment Commission to hear public testimony on state legislative district boundaries
Although the drawing of Colorado’s Congressional district boundaries has been sent to the courts (since the state senate failed to consider redistricting legislation, abdicating their constitutional obligations), the Reapportionment Commission (charged with drawing state legislative districts) is meeting over the summer and will hear public testimony both in Denver (initially) and throughout the state (once a draft district map has been developed for review and comment).
The commission has divided the state into 7 regions for the purpose of hearing public testimony. Continue reading
