Protect Your Colorado Tax Refunds

Tell Your Official: Support TABOR for CO Families

Protect Your REFUNDS

Dear Official(s),

As your constituent, I'm writing to urge you to stand firm in protecting the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR) and to oppose any efforts-like HJR-1023- that seek to weaken or repeal its core protections.
TABOR exists for a simple but powerful reason: it ensures that Colorado's government lives within its means and must ask voters before taking more of their hard-earned money. The overwhelming opposition to HJR-1023 made it clear that Coloradans still value this promise of fiscal responsibility and voter consent.
This resolution wasn't about improving TABOR - it was a direct attempt to strip away the very requirement that keeps the government accountable to the people. Thankfully, the proposal failed, but it never should have advanced in the first place.
I'm asking you to stay vigilant and publicly reaffirm your commitment to upholding TABOR. Voters deserve to know where their elected leaders stand on the principle that tax increases should only happen with their direct approval.
Coloradans are paying attention—and we are counting on you
to protect our voice and our wallets.

Dear Voter,

Your right to vote on tax increases in Colorado is under threat.

Earlier this year, a group of legislators introduced House Joint Resolution 1023 (HJR-1023), aiming to challenge the constitutionality of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR). This resolution sought to enable the General Assembly to file a lawsuit that could potentially eliminate the requirement for voter approval of tax increases.

Key sponsors of HJR-1023 include:

Representative Manny Rutinel (HD32)
Representative Lorena García (HD35)
Senator Kyle Mullica (SD24)

These legislators are actively working to remove your direct say in how much you are taxed. Despite significant public opposition, the resolution advanced through the House Finance Committee, highlighting the urgency of our collective response. Thankfully, it failed in the House.

TABOR is more than a policy; it's a safeguard ensuring that any tax increase receives direct voter approval. It embodies fiscal responsibility and upholds the principle that government should be accountable to its citizens.

By signing our online letter, you send a clear message to your legislators: uphold TABOR and respect the will of the voters.

Let's stand together to protect our rights and ensure that any changes to our tax system are made with our direct consent.

Thank you for your commitment to preserving our democratic principles.
