Vote "Yes" on Amendment 49

Unions are another arm of the Democratic party. Colorado's Democratic Governor, Bill Ritter, has made it possible for unions to collect dues directly from state employees' paychecks. Jon Caldera of the free market Independence Institute has offered an amendment to the state's constitution to stop this practice. Unlike the Denver Post, I usually do agree with Caldera. Like the Denver Post, I agree with Caldera's Amendment 49, which the Post says, "would stop politicians from collecting union dues that are used to elect and re-elect those very same politicians."

I don't have a dog in this race as they say. But having dwelt with unions, I do know they are only into their power. They'll bent over backwards for individual but only if it's another power grab.
