This week opened with Democrats using Rule 16 on a Sunday to silence debate and push through four extreme bills—forcing taxpayers to fund abortion, mandating insurance coverage for gender procedures regardless of age, undermining parental rights in schools, and blocking cooperation with out-of-state investigations tied to gender and abortion services. These bills even made misgendering or using the child's name the parents gave at birth a reason to impact a custody battle negatively. The left wants to completely erode the nuclear family.
During budget week, House Republicans fought to make Colorado more affordable, offering amendments to fund K-12 and Higher Education, reading programs, rural school safety, maternity care, and agriculture. Democrats rejected them all—choosing politics over people. Republicans also ran amendments to save the state money and trimmed down bloated government spending. Even while controlling spending has risen in popularity nationally, Colorado Dems think they have the mandate to drain citizens' pocketbooks in the name of progressive policy.
To end the week, the Governor signed SB25-003, the most extreme gun bill in the country. After Republicans in the House debated for 30 hours, the Dems rammed the bill through, and now we must turn to the courts to defend the Second Amendment rights of citizens.
We will keep fighting for families, public safety, and a more affordable Colorado.
