Concern for the common good, and particularly for those who are the most vulnerable in our society, is central to all of our faith traditions.
We believe faithful citizenship calls us to vote and participate in the electoral process.
Get involved in our campaign to "Embrace the Common Good" in this election!
We oppose Amendment 46 which would eliminate equal opportunity programs in Colorado. Faith leaders throughout Colorado support equal opportunity as necessary to preserving human dignity and hope.
We support Amendment 51 which would provide funding for critical services needed by people with developmental disabilities. Funds would come from a phased-in increase in the state sales tax of two tenths of one percent (2¢ on a $10 purchase).
We support Amendment 59 which would ensure that the state saves in good economic times
so our kids aren’t hurt in bad times. It creates a Savings Account for Education (S.A.F.E.) and
invests state revenues above the TABOR limit in that savings account. While responsibly funding
education, it also eliminates the requirement that spending on P-12 education increase at the rate of
inflation each year after 2011.

On Wednesday, October 15, We Believe Colorado had a press conference with House Speaker Andrew Romanoff at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church to announce our campaign to mobilize voters to vote YES on Amendment 59 on the November ballot.
