Amendment 47
By HH Oct 6th 2008 at 4:53 pm MDT (Updated Oct 6th 2008 at 4:53 pm MDT)
I agree with most of the suggested recommendations except for Amendment 47.
I don't understand your objection to "The Right To Work" amendment. Charicterizing the title as "Work for Less" is not only wrong but leaves the rest of your selections questionable.
By the way I don't agree with your NO on 49 either but you didn't misrepresent the amendment title.

Number 47 allows people to benefit from a contract negotiated by a union, but not to share in the cost of having that union. This will reduce the ability of the union to represent the workers, and eventually drive labor costs down in a race to the bottom. Please visit Link for much more detail and explanation. So called "right to work" states have lower average wages and worse economies than Colorado's.

As far as "Paycheck Protection" is concerned, please visit the Center for Policy Alternatives at Link for a good description of why this ballot measure is not protection, but deception.
