I am filing 13 ballot initiatives for Colorado to become an independent nation:

• Initiative #287 Colorado Independence*

• Initiative #288 Colorado Citizenship*

• Initiative #289 Immigration to Colorado*

• Initiative #290 Replacing United States in Colorado Laws and Constitution*

• Initiative #291 Tax and Spending Adjustments to Replace Federal Funds*

• Initiative #292 Colorado Participation in Foreign Affairs*

• Initiative #294 Colorado Seizure of Federal Property*

• Initiative #296 Replacing United States in Colorado Constitution*

• Initiative #297 Replacing United States of America in Colorado Constitution*

• Initiative #298 Replacing Federal in Colorado Laws and Constitution*

• Initiative #299 Colorado Militia*

• Initiative #300 Colorado Oaths to Office and Constitutional Conventions*

• Initiative #301 Peoples Right to Self Governance*

The title board set title for these initiatives. I just received approval to circulate Initiatives #287-#290, and I’m waiting for the petition format for the rest of the initiatives. I need people to circulate petitions. Anyone who is interested in circulating petitions can email me at elsturgis01@bvsd.org. I want Colorado to become an independent nation because Trump’s been elected, I’m afraid he’s going to become a dictator, and I think seceding is the best way to stop him.
