Majority Republicans in the Colorado Senate asked for comments, so ProgressNow Colorado urged its followers to do just that. But that input probably differs – maybe even strongly differs – from what the GOP might have expected to hear from its members and followers.

The Senate Majority sent social media messages on Monday, Jan. 9, asking people to go to their website and tell them which laws they wanted to see repealed or changed.

It didn’t take long before ProgressNow Colorado Executive Director Ian Silverii sent an email to his group’s supporters, urging them to go to the GOP web site and leave comments in support of progressive issues:

“Senate Republicans say they want to hear from you? Let’s give them what they want. And when it comes time to hold them accountable this legislative session, they can’t say they weren’t told. This year, we’re going to be watching the Colorado legislature more closely than ever, and we’ll be in touch regularly with ways to take action on important bills.”

Silveri’s email listed suggested comments, such as “Don’t help Donald Trump take away health coverage from thousands of Coloradans,” “Don’t help Donald Trump demonize immigrants and people of color,” and “Don’t try to take away abortion rights (again).”

As of early afternoon Monday, the GOP web site included many similar comments, along with some unique suggestions:

And some were of the more conservative bent:

One common theme seemed to be to support change or repeal of the Taxpayers Bill of Rights, which would take a statewide vote since it is a constitutional amendment.
