This bill passed to the senate with none, zero, nada republicans voting for it, exclusively on the votes of 35 democrat traitors who clearly are to stupid to read and comprehend either our state or federal constitution. To their credit, 9 democrats (all from rural or agricultural areas) voted against it. Pray for our country.

Is the gov expected to sign this?

[Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life]

Our governor is a far left weasel from California (whose personal fortune was predominantly made in his family’s oil and gas business, which he says he hates but so far has declined to give up the money), who is determined to convert Colorado into California East. So far he has been successful with the support of his like minded liberal immigrants into the state who are literally outnumbering those who actually love the state as is. Since he had his democrat friends introduce nearly identical legislation last year (that legal experts said would have to be immediately rejected as both over broad and unconstitutional so it died in senate committee) I would fully expect  him to continue the destruction of our rights if given the chance!
