Thank You for Voting to Preserve Funding

Thank you to our members and community who voted NO on 60, 61 and 101! Thanks for your hard work and dedication on educating the community on the ballot issues. On November 2, 2010, Colorado voters soundly defeated Amendments 60 and 61 and Proposition 101 by margins of more than two to one. Colorado said NO to slashing taxes and slashing public services; no to dismantling our schools, colleges and universities; no to destroying the safety net that protects Colorado’s kids. We regret that so many had to fight so hard just to stay where we are, but we will continue to advocate to put education first.
