URGENT: Colorado Legislators Want to Sue the People, Reverse TABOR, Biggest Tax Increase Ever?!

This Monday, April 7th, we need you to speak out in defense of your rights, your paycheck, and your family’s finances.

That’s when HJR25-1023: Require General Assembly TABOR Constitutionality Lawsuit will be heard in Committee.

This latest scheme is to sue the people of Colorado with the purpose of repealing the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR).

If successful, this would be the largest tax increase in Colorado history. Your TABOR tax refund would disappear, taxpayers would lose their right to approve tax increases, and governments across Colorado would be able to steal more money from hardworking Colorado families.

In this video, Natalie Menten provides the background on this measure, talking points you can use during testimony, and information on the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights.

Please speak, in-person or remote in defense of TABOR by opposing HJR25-1023.

Colorado’s Budget Gap Myth!

Colorado’s Budget Gap Myth!
How Anti-TABOR Legislators are Laying the Groundwork to Raise Your Taxes & How you can Fight Back!
You’ve probably seen the headlines… “Lawmakers stare down long-term cuts as Colorado runs into TABOR’s hard spending cap,” and “Food banks, kids’ therapy and diapers: What Colorado lawmakers have cut from the state budget so far,” are just two recent examples.
It’s becoming more obvious that the “budget gap” is going to be used as an excuse to attack the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR), and raise our taxes!
Thankfully, we have Natalie Menten, a Liberty Leader and Taxpayer Advocate who is standing up for TABOR.
In this video, Natalie and Brandon talk about the reality of Colorado’s budget and explain how TABOR has helped Coloradans keep more money in their wallets.
