I guess Doug Bruce doesn’t get to have the right to free speech, and he doesn’t have the freedom to petition the government.

At the same time, the Government Employees Unions of this country have the right to run totally misleading ads (these are called lies.) about their opinions about the impact of the these three tax reduction measures, all without disclosing who they are. Seems only fair.

It looks to me like we are headed into a thundering dispute between Public Employee Unions and the private sector, which is where the Greedy Public Employee Unions get the money for salaries and pension plans that can only be called luxurious.

I’m amazed at the hype on the vote no on 60,61,101. We want smaller government but we don’t want to stop them from spending… Go figure. The scare tactic used are crazy and why is every one soooo brain washed??? The government spends way too much money on every thing they do because they hire expensive union companies. If they are given a smaller budget you would have every independent contractor bidding on the jobs for road, bridges, ect. More money would go into the private sector and into your pockets. Competition folks. Government spends 10 times what it should because there is no competition for the jobs. Unions get them all and they are tooo expensive……… Nothing would stop they would just be forced to do things differently and less expensive. THINK

before any one votes read the propositions. And you will see why all the negative coming from the unions and the local government. They believe this is there money and the voters will be taking money from them .that’s the way they see it. and that’s why so much negative hype for all the 3 tax payers money saving proposals. Go and read them don’t let any one decides for you. Read and be inform is the power of the voters. Yes on 60. 61. 101.

We cannot lose weight by eating ourselves out of a diet nor could we continue to cover debt by continuing spending and allowing deficits to run rampant. With all the complaining you all do one would think some of you should stand up for yourselves and march on the Streets just like the French do every time a benefit gets taken away but -No, Americans could be robbed blind, be butt naked broke by Wall Street and Bernanke abusing the banking and mortage system and all you think about doing is cover up the problem with a “lets spend more” until we bust like Greece & Spain band-Aid. Grow up!

This is just a lame attempt to spoil this chance to tell our government bureaucrats what we think about their poor money management, taxation without representation and uncontrolled borrowing against our children’s checkbooks. The opposition should be running scared. The current economic crisis was caused by reckless borrowing and if folks think we can get out of this mess by further reckless spending and borrowing, they are wrong. The vehicle, income and phone taxes never were approved by voters and that is actually called “stealing”. Whoever improved our ballots deserves commendation and this election will let us have our say. Shame on you, Coloradans for (ir)Responsible Reform. Shame on you for being equally wasteful!!!

Every one loves to hate Doug Bruce. They loved him when he saved their tax dollars with TABOR, but now that he wants government to act and spend responsibly, they go for the throat? Notice that the jobs CFRR is worried about the state “losing” are all union and tenured positions. Their ad campaign is a scare tactic trying to persuade the general voting public that our school kids will suffer with larger class sizes. Use truthful advertising and be honest about why you’re really fighting these bills. Why aren’t you putting the money you’re using to fight these bills into the arenas you think will be hurt by them? No one ever thinks of doing that on either side……………

THis is not the first time that Mr. Bruce has used the resources of the 501(c)(3) Active Citizens Together (ACT) to fund the mailing and support of campaign issues. Mr. Bruce does not believe that he needs to follow any law or regulation, but will sue any governmental body if he believes they have violated any aspect of TABOR. Perhaps this time, Mr. Bruce will learn that he is not above the law.
