Help defend states' rights in Colorado!! Independence Institute President Jon Caldara is calling for an amendment to the Colorado Constitution that would opt Colorado out of the onerous health insurance mandates coming out of Washington DC. Read the "Right to Health Care Choice" ballot language here.

"Colorado has a right to decide how we choose to deal with health care," Caldara told the Denver Post. "And it is my goal to make sure that Washington doesn't jam Obama Care down the throats of Coloradans." Check out the whole story at the Denver Post.

    Prison Spending, Sentencing and the Colorado Budget:
    How many more prison beds can we afford?

    and still growing. Please join us for a panel discussion on the impact of
    sentencing on Colorado's prison population and on the Colorado budget,
    and the ongoing work of the Colorado Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice (CCJJ)
    around sentencing reform in Colorado.
