Don’t be misled by false advertising on amendments 47, 49 & 54. In this case, No means Yes. If you vote no, CORRUPTION continues. Please understand how they are written. Ben makes a great point and Adrian is obviously representing the crooks in question.

Seriously, Godzilla was on their mailpiece?

I think it is the other way around… it is the taxpayers that are being stomped on by Godzilla aka out of state union thugs and corrupt politicians. We need amendment 54 to pass so we can see where our money is being spent and protect ourselves from their Godzilla tactics.

VOTE YES on 54!

adrian,

Unfortunately, you are ill-informed. Go back and do your homework. You may want to poke your nose in something other than propaganda published by union bosses. How does the passage of 49 diminish the ability to unionize? It may shift control from the union power bosses to the workers, who can hold the groups they decide to fund with their dues money to greater account. But it does absolutely NOTHING to restrict the ability of workers to voluntarily unionize.

49 and 54 affect governments only. So bringing up corporations is just a red herring. And besides, your description doesn’t reflect the reality of any right-to-work state, which is what 47 would accomplish.

Your inability to distinguish what each of these three amendments do and the restriction of your ability to only recite unsubstantiated scare tactics … well, you’d do a lot better thinking for yourself.

Simple. These amendments pass and there won’t be any unions left in Colorado. Workers won’t have the resources to organize to oppose the cutting of corners on fire and police equipment or unsafe working conditions for teachers or unsafe shift schedules for nurses (which endanger patients due to increased medical errors broguht on by fatigue). Just like the ads say.

But it’s not just the workers shown in the ads. Everyone in Colorado will suffer because big corporations will be free to exploit their workers without the workers being able to organize to stand up to them. Those that do try to organize, and make some headway without being allowed to collect any dues, will be undermined constantly by the fact that nonunionized workers will be allowed in (thanks to 47) at lower wages and without any healthcare costs or safety or equipment concerns that unions force the corproations to take seriously and will price them out of their jobs unfairly.

What do you people have against workers comign together to improve their jobs and working conditions and the quality of work they perform for the public? You’re all having a lot of fun mocking union workers standing up for their rights but will you be laughing when there’s no firemen to rescue you, your kids go to “privatized” schools in dilapidated buildings with outdated textbooks, and a tired and overworked nurse screws up your prescription.

No adrian, we mock them because they haven’t told the truth once this election season. Instead they’re hiding behind the $26.6 million they’ve raised from union PAC’s from Colorado (20%) and around the country (67%). But hey, when you can raise that kind of cash to protect your cushy union position from unsuspecting workers (http://facethestate.com/articles/11745-union-chief-clears-430k-2007-self-two-children), workers with no idea they’re funding campaigns in Colorado, then hey, why would you run a campaign that seeks to tell the truth. Please enlighten us with one truth that has come from Protect Colorado’s Culture of Corruption? Vote Yes on Amendments 47, 49 and 54!

You’ve got to be kidding me. This is the best you GOPer loosers can come up with? You attack the pro-worker side because they use Godzilla in their ads? Please. It’s not like they’re saying that Godzilla endorsed 49 and 54 (though the difference will be hard to tell once big business gets done raping the workers and public services in Colorado).

Try harder. Thinking is tough work but maybe you’ll come up with a real argument if you work at it.

This is getting really old… I am so sick of all the lies. I don’t understand how people can get away with lying like this. Read the text! No where does it say that oil compaines are exempt! This is a great amendment that would CLEAN up our governement and make them have some accountability! YES on 54! STOP the Lies!
