Who is 'the campaign' you refer to? I'm guessing not one individual candidate.

These are State Constitional Amendments and I voted no on all of them. It was bad enough to legalize pot with the State Constition, writing tax rates there is even dumber.

The Constitutional reason was determined by the SCOTUS: money is considered speech, as a result blocking spending in state elections on account of something like "you don't live in this state" constitutes an unconstitutional restriction of free speech.
I am of the opinion that money is not speech, and shouldn't be constitutionally protected like speech. I am of the opinion that only state residents should spend money on state elections. |

So you don't believe the "full faith & credit" clause of the Constitution, nor the "commerce clause", has any validity?

Progressives being meddler's in everyone's affairs while screaming to be left alone on pot, sex or abortions. They love uniformity. So this is just the start of changing each state on a state basis while they also nationalize education. Eventually it will be fully controlled by the central govt for education central planning. It's called the creeping socialism. But I find Gate's also doing this to be disgusting. Natch, I'd expect Bloomberg to be onboard. This is evidence that big business LOVES socialism. And why ed-centralization via state's rights without this kind of meddling is critical for freedom from them and their central planners.

It's basically the State Department of Education and all of the public school systems, along with others who would receive money. The government agencies aren't allowed to campaign, so it's their "friends of" groups.

Why? People in other states affect you all the time with their Presidential votes.

My only question, which I've never heard the answer to, is whether the basic sales tax is a given and this is an additional sin tax. It doesn't matter to me since I think it should be sin taxed, but I haven't heard an explanation. And the wholesale tax, as I understand it, is somewhat of an impact tax. Having a bunch of marijuana floating around is going to create some problems and having tax money from producers to mitigate it is better than raising my property tax or income tax to do it. On the school tax, it's just excessive. Between this and property taxes, my personal bill for the public school system would range between $300 and $500 PER MONTH, depending on my company income. Add to that the precedents of a new income tax and a progressive tax, and it's a non-starter for me. They got greedy by asking too much.

So. Doesn't make it right in a federalist representative system.

This is a state issue in Colorado that in no way, shape, or form impacts Washington or New York. They are attempting to influence my taxes and my local schools. Stay out of my yard.

Well actually, PB, your claim isn't really true. Because a presidential election relates to the functions of the Executive branch in the Constitution. Those are national issues -- not local issues. So presidential votes effect people in the states on those issues. That's the way it's suppose to be. Education is not a specifically enumerated power in the Constitution for the Federal govt to be involved in -- at all. The DOE shouldn't even exist.
