HB 1299 is scheduled for second reading in the Senate on Friday, April 3.  National Popular Nightmare or the Koza scheme likely will pass the Senate and wait for the Governor’s signature.

In the last few weeks I have discovered that supporters of this plan to render Colorado politically impotent are not impressed with arguments about federalism and Founding Fathers’ original intent.  Koza scheme supporter State Representative Claire Levy said as much when she made this frightening statement in a letter to Ross Kaminsky, “It [the Electoral College] prioritizes an unfounded notion of federalism over achieving the result that best reflects the will of the majority. “  You can read her complete response at www.rossputin.com.

Opposition to this nightmare is mounting.  The Denver Post opposed the Koza scheme in a house editorial.  I don’t believe a newpaper in the state has endorsed it.  Yet HB 1299 marches along despite the growing public outcry.
