We marked the third anniversary this month of the US Supreme Court's Ciudadanos unidos <\/em>decision, one you know well if you're a regular CommonBlog visitor. That decision plays the biggest part in our current money in politics woes.<\/p>

Aqu\u00ed en Colorado, nos convertimos en l\u00edderes en la lucha por recuperar la democracia de manos de intereses especiales cuando sometimos a votaci\u00f3n la Enmienda 65, una medida electoral estatal aprobada por 741.000 votos de los votantes de Colorado. La enmienda ordena a nuestros l\u00edderes electos aprobar una enmienda constitucional estadounidense que revierta esa mala decisi\u00f3n de la Corte Suprema y permita l\u00edmites al dinero en la pol\u00edtica.<\/p>

CoPIRG<\/a> checked in with our congressional delegation ahead of the anniversary to see if they have been following their constituents' instructions. Although it's a little early to give a full report card, our representatives have mostly done very little.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/p><\/p>

El congresista Ed Perlmutter copatrocin\u00f3 dos enmiendas constitucionales durante el \u00faltimo Congreso y se uni\u00f3 al Grupo de Trabajo de Reforma Electoral en noviembre, donde piensan en formas de combatir la Ciudadanos unidos<\/em> decision and has said that it's time for action on this issue. Senator Michael Bennet introduced a constitutional amendment during the last Congress that would allow Congress to regulate money in politics. Congressmen Jared Polis has said he would look closely at proposals that reverse Ciudadanos Unidos.<\/em><\/p><\/p>

Congressman Scott Tipton says he \"empathizes\" with Coloradans about our frustrations with campaign finance, but hides behind the Supreme Court decision saying it's the final word on the matter. If that were true, we would not have an amendment system that has allowed 7 enmiendas para aprobar que contrarrestan las decisiones de la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos<\/a>. Congressman Cory Gardner also \"understands\" our frustration with money in politics, but seems to think fixes will impair our free speech rights. Our perspective is that money is property, it is not speech and those who can pay unfairly get the megaphone without interruption. Congressman Doug Lamborn has said that he \"respects the views\" of Coloradans, but that he thinks the Supreme Court definition of money as speech is appropriate. We would like to remind the Congressman that Amendment 65 was not an expression of the views of Coloradans; we were instructing those whom we have hired to represent us to pass a constitutional amendment that would allow us to limit money in politics. Congressman Mike Coffman has not responded to our requests. Congresswoman Diana DeGette has not made any public commitments to follow the instructions in Amendment 65, although before the vote on 65 her staff indicated that Ella no apoy\u00f3 una enmienda constitucional<\/a>.<\/p>

Hay acciones adicionales que nuestra delegaci\u00f3n puede tomar para mejorar nuestro sistema de financiamiento de campa\u00f1as, y muchos han mostrado su apoyo a ellas, pero la gente de Colorado dio instrucciones claras sobre la aprobaci\u00f3n de una enmienda constitucional.<\/p>

El s\u00e1bado pasado, hubo un evento en el Capitolio del Estado para conmemorar el aniversario de Ciudadanos Unidos. <\/em>Los activistas aprovecharon el momento como una oportunidad para que defensores de otras causas hablaran sobre el impacto que el gran dinero est\u00e1 teniendo en su trabajo: sistemas alimentarios saludables, un medio ambiente libre de qu\u00edmicos t\u00f3xicos, igualdad de protecci\u00f3n en nuestras elecciones y otros. Este problema no va a desaparecer.<\/strong> We will continue to check in with our congressional delegation on what they're doing to follow the will of the voters.<\/p>
