Sources tell me that the second reading for HB 1299, a disastrous piece of legislation that will render Colorado politically impotent during presidential campaigns, will be Friday, March 13.  If this passes (and sources predict it will)  Colorado will only watch as California and New York annoint our next president. 

This is an absolute assault on the Constitution and must be stopped.   It seems people and news outlets recognize this as well. The Loveland Report Herald is trying to help with this op-ed.  My friend (and fill-in host) Ross Kaminsky posted his letter on Politics West.  Slapstick Politics says,  ”If Colorado is to have an objectively relevant say in the outcome in 2012 and every subsequent presidential election thereafter, HB 1299 and its insidious intentions must be defeated soundly.”   And the Grand Junction Sentinel calls this latest effort to get rid of the Electoral College “illogical.”

I just hope it is not too late.
