I really LIKE Amendment 36
Advertisements [?]
I already have a pretty full plate, but I'm willing to make a financial donation. But can't find a promo-site to do this. Can someone post it? I'd also urge non-Colorado DUers to help out.

I listened to a repuke on the radio last night railing against it...and he sold me on being FOR it.

Amendment 36 is good on so many different levels. IMO

1. It would increase voter turnout.

2. It would finally give third parties a means to wage a legitimate campaign.

3. Take away the "winner take all" and you reduce the obscene amounts of money that candidates pour into the states. It helps negate the idea that the candidate with the most money wins.

4. It's democratic. It gives ALL people a voice in determining the election.

BTW: As I understand it, if Amendment 36 passes it will immediately apply to the 2004 election.
