Worried about constituent pushback? Just pass bills at night! |

From The Colorado Freedom Force |
|
Nothing screams "transparency" quite like passing controversial |
|
legislation in the wee hours of the night. |
|
That's exactly what your legislators did this week at the |
|
Capitol. |
|
Every piece of legislation which requires a fiscal note has at |
|
least four public hearings before it can reach the Governor's |
|
desk. |
|
There's two in the House Chamber, and two in the Senate Chamber, |
|
and they provide the opportunity for the public to address the |
|
legislators through comment and testimony. |
|
Particularly controversial bills tend to draw hundreds of |
|
citizens to participate in the process. |
|
Now... It would be reasonable to think these hearings should be |
|
held at a time which is convenient for most people to |
|
participate. |
|
Since when is anything taking place at the Capitol "reasonable" |
|
or "convenient"? |
|
On Tuesday, there were a total of 14 bills (each consequential |
|
in nature) schedule to be heard with public comment between 1:30 |
|
and 2:00 pm. |
|
Instead, all those citizens physically present at the Capitol, |
|
and those in a queue for virtual participation were left |
|
entirely in the dark as no effort was made to communicate the |
|
delays. |
|
Hearings actually began at 8:19 pm, 8:47 pm and 9:17 pm. The |
|
last concluded with a vote at 1:56 am. |
|
All 14 bills passed their respective committees in the dark of |
|
the night. |
|
Here's a quick look at what legislators forced on us this time: |
|

Citizen Engagement |
|
A great big "thank you" goes out to all our subscribers who are |
|
testifying against so many of these anti-freedom bills. |
|
Engaged citizens are the key to holding government officials |
|
accountable, especially when they pull stunts like passing |
|
legislation in the middle of the night. |
|
Please continue to send us your stories! |
|
And please continue to fight against this radical assault of our |
|
liberties! |

For Freedom, |
