SB23-168, "Concerning gun violence victims' access to the judicial system." This legislation gives gun violence victims and survivors the ability to take legal action when firearm industry members violate standards of responsible conduct. We urge support. #copolitics#coleg
The testimony against SB-168 is riddled with misinformation as usual.
Sen. Tom Sullivan erupts in response to testimony by gun dealers shirking responsibility for their products: "What is the profit margin on 4000 rounds of armor-piercing ammunition? What is the profit you need to make that sale?" #copolitics#coleg
Drama in the Senate State Affairs Committee as Sen. Tom Sullivan, whose son died in the Aurora theater shooting, confronts gun dealer witnesses over liability for the effects of their products. #copolitics
SB23-168, giving gun violence victims and survivors the ability to take legal action when firearm industry members violate standards of responsible conduct, passes Senate State Affairs! #copolitics#coleg

Here we go folks! Reading HB23-1100 on the floor @lorenaforsenate@NaquettaR intro the bill on the floor this morning
YES on HB23-1100 - it is not a state value to make profit off of immigrants that happen to be brought to a prison because of IGSA contract #copolitics
Alright folks! We heard two racist remarks already!
Rep. Holtorf is pleading that we consider Teller county - where they are making .01% off keeping immigrants in prison who are awaiting immigration cases
Other then Teller County just wanting to make $ off the back of immigrants in a IGSA contractual hosting facility - which has been an avenue to shipping immigrants farther from where they are in the first place
YES on HB23-1100 - END these harmful contracts now #copolitcs
Correctional facilities are not mandated to track or report pregnancy-related data & most facilities do not have any routine process for collecting such information - another reason why we are saying YES on HB23-1187 #copolitics#leadership#reproductivehealth
