Democrats change the rules and leave the constitution behind them

Colorado Senate Republicans have tried but failed to kill a bill to change the way the state's electoral college votes are cast. House Bill 1299 was at the top of the list of measures up for their first full vote in the Senate this morning. Republican Sen. Mike Kopp of Littleton moved to lay over the bill until May 25 -- long after the lawmakers are scheduled to adjourn -- but that motion failed on a voice vote.

Under the bill, Colorado's nine electoral votes would go to the candidate who receives the most votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Full story

In other words, Colorado Democrats apparently want Colorado to have NO INDEPENDENT SAY in the presidential election. You know this could really backfire on them, but I prefer the constitution thank you very much. If all states did this then New York and California would decide for the rest of the country...that perhaps is what they really want.

The bill now goes to the Senate.

It is not too late, call your representatives.
