Shockingly, Gov Polis, Colorado Democrats and pro-development lobbyists have launched a massive assault on Colorado Open Space.
Towns like Boulder may be prohibited by the State of Colorado from keeping or creating parks and natural areas which could destroy hiking and recreation opportunities. Boulder CHAOS supports Open Space and we ask for your help.
Please take 2 minutes to email Gov Polis asap - the votes could happen today or this week. And join our zoom meetup this Friday.

Gov Polis,
Your attack on Colorado towns, Open Space and family neighborhoods is unacceptable.
We will not let you steal the power of Colorado towns to control zoning and land use.
We know that you want to bring the crime and filth and drug addiction of Denver's high density LODO to Colorado towns like Boulder, Ft Collins, Louisville and Lafayette by destroying our land use and Open Space policies that we have built over generations.
We will not allow you to turn to turn Boulder into San Francisco by destroying our height limits and building skyscrapers close to every bus route.
We will not allow you to turn Ft Collins into New York on the Rockies by threatening towns that do not explode their population with loss of state tax credits.
We say to you Gov Polis - NO.
Colorado towns control their future - NOT Denver political hacks and campaigns funded by developer lobbyists.
You must stop this State/Denver imposed abuse of home-rule cities!
We respectfully ask Colorado Democrats to respect the right of the people of Colorado to self control the zoning of our towns, our open space and our family neighborhoods.
We demand you vote NO on legislation that you are about to pass including: HB 1107, 1313, 1152 and 1304.
Yours sincerely and with deep anger,
(your name here)

Next, join our meetup on a zoom this Friday where we will plan election strategy to ensure that any Colorado politician that wants to attack Colorado towns, Open Space and families will not be be elected this fall.
We're expecting a huge turn out on the call so we'll publish the zoom link Friday morning to attendees who RSVP for this meetup.
Thank you for sending the email above and helping to keep Colorado Open Space as a sacred treasure for current and future generations.
Best - KJ
