Any Colorado resident with a Colorado driver’s license or state identification card can now register to vote through the Secretary of State’s web site GoVoteColorado.com. The online form will require the same information as the current registration form, which also remains available to Colorado citizens.

Jenny Flanagan, executive director of Colorado Common Cause appeared in The Denver Post’s Open Forum section. In her letter responding to the April 22 editorial, “What are the Dems up to?” Jenny weighs in about HB10-1408 and the need for the redistricting reform.

“Common Cause agrees that it is not the place of the legislature to tell the courts how to evaluate redistricting maps,” she says. “The legislature’s energy would be better focused on developing a fair and transparent process for its own work in drawing the lines.”

The full text of HB10-1408 is available at the Colorado General Assembly. For the full text of the letter, including a link to the original editorial, visit The Denver Post online.

Colorado Common Cause executive director, Jenny Flanagan, appeared in the Washington Post as part of an article on Citizens United and how states are responding. In the March 25 article by Washington Post staff writer, Dan Eggen, she strongly supports legislation to create disclosure requirements for companies and unions funding political advertisements:

“It’s the one thing we can do to keep voters informed, if nothing else," said Jenny Flanagan, executive director of Common Cause of Colorado, which supports campaign finance regulations. "What we're looking to see is more than just who's doing it, but going after the shell corporations that companies have set up in the past to hide their activities. We want to make the disclosures meaningful.”

The full article, "States try to adapt to Supreme Court's campaign finance ruling," is available at the Washington Post Online, and will be free to read through April 8.
