CO Mountain Lion Ballot Initiative: Continuous Updates

[lak2004]

Not so fast I guess. Sounds like the editorial board has issued an apology to the local Durango groups supporting 127. Don’t be surprised if they recant their stated position and now support 127.

What a joke. I'll write a LTE asap

The whole CO blue book is written that way. It's disgusting.

The blue books is written by a panel consisting of nearly 99% democrats so take that for what you will.

Hopefully this gets some pet owners on the fence onto our side...

I just received notification that my CO ballot has been mailed to me.

It’s GO TIME Colorado Roksliders. As hunters and outdoors people, this is a moment for us to UNITE. Get registered to vote if you’re not and don’t stop telling your sphere of influence to VOTE NO on Prop 127 in Colorado.

I have sent a ton of emails, talked to a ton of people and spread the word in the most meaningful ways I think are effective. I do have a yard sign in my yard but to me this is the last line of defense.

Let’s do this.

Was chatting with a non-hunter parent at a school event the other day whom I had mentioned this to previously and they said they heard something on NPR about it and said the piece wasn't in favor of the initiative. I haven't tracked it down but good to hear if true.

I heard something similar about a CPR/NPR bit.

There was a thread on the topic that popped up yesterday on the r/colorado subreddit and judging by upvotes/downvotes/comments a notable majority were against the proposition. We have a decent chance at defeating this.

Let’s keep up the donations and keep spreading the word! Keep it civil, stick to the facts.

There should be one that says “Trust the science. Vote no on 127”

I have a few yard signs left if anyone in the Parker/Castle Rock area needs one.

 

[Pandarturo]

Thanks for the info guys! Any chance of an add on for the excise tax for firearms or is there a separate thread for that?

There should be one that says “Trust the science. Vote no on 127”

I saw one near downtown Denver the other day that said, "Leave wildlife management to biologists. Vote No on 127" and it was right next to Harris/Walz sign. Felt like that was pretty encouraging!

I have a few good friends that are non-hunters and they all texted me asking why they were being asked to weigh in on what should be a decision l left to the agency ecologists and biologists. Fingers crossed.

Donation sent and voted no on prop. 127 today. We’ll see how it turns out…

Buddy and I have heard from some very liberal leaning people they will vote no. We didn't even need to make a pitch. Pretty surprised with their views. They live in boulder fwiw

I am hearing and seeing this also, particularly in Reddit forums that are generally home to mostly left-leaning voters. They have a bit different reason for voting “No”. Most seem to take a “if ain’t broken, don’t try to fix it” mentality to issues they aren’t well-informed on. Sometimes described as the precautionary principle. Don’t make changes to things if there isn’t a major problem and you don’t know much about the consequences. Some are overwhelmed by the number of propositions on the Colorado ballot and just vote “No” on anything that doesn’t address a major issue that they are already aware of ie. property taxes, guns, education, abortion. I can very much respect this approach. Very pragmatic.

Neighbor just came over to talk to me about 127 since I had the sign up. He wasn't pleased to learn about the outsider/California money in the origins of this initiative among other things.
