As a grassroots activist, past precinct committee person, and current District Captain, I strongly urge delaying action on this HB.

Caucuses mean accountability and draw the enthusiastic and informed. Primaries have too many liabilities. Don't set the bar lower.

The 2016 process was a mess, but acting in haste to change it would be a mistake.

We the people want a say in how/who represents us in our government!! A caucus is the only way we can make sure things are done via grassroots. It's starts with the block moving up to nieghborhood and so forth. This is the only way you can make sure we the common people have a say in our government all the way up.
Otherwise why bother, your voice isn't heard, because the insiders get to determine everything for you. Therefore the caucus is the only way to go!!!

Primaries will be added cost...result in 2 primaries-ine for president and one for CO canidates! Only registered Republicans should have a say in who our nominee is! Save the caucus system!

A former state Party chairman tried ramming this through near the end of the session last year. Now, here we are again. I find this dishonorable. It is disrespectful of not only the legislative process, but of you as legislators and, mostly, We the People who sent you here.
There is NO REASON for this rush to change the fundamental process in Colorado citizens to participate in the political process for selecting the leader of the United States! We the people of Colorado love our grassroots process. Yes it is not perfect, but neither will be the Primary process that is for sure!

We the people through the caucus process are able to gather in our neighborhoods, talk about issues and candidates, and choose our representatives. This is truly our fundamental right of representation in the political process!

There is room for improvement in the current system for sure, but there is no reason to not defer HB 16-1454. There needs to be public input in the system.

Will someone please PRIMARY Tim Dore?! Wait, maybe that's why he's pulling this crap - so RINO's like him can strip away the power of the people and do whatever they want without repercussion because the establishment will have all control.

I would really like to keep the caucus. It's the most accessible to everyone. It's the truest form of republican democracy. The worst case would be an open primary. I used to believe the primary was the thing. But that was because I'd never participated in the caucus and didn't understand it. Hate that the uneducated national media's criticism of OUR system is causing this knee-jerk reaction.

Education is information and information is power so let's educate the voting community before we throw something at them without all the facts. Please defer consideration of this bill until the voters can be educated fully so they know what is being done. Thanks.

There is no hurry. A change this impactful should not be done in the frenzy of this election year.
