Defend TABOR - Block SB26-135

email advocacy

Dear [Your Elected Official],

I am writing to urge you to oppose Senate Bill 26-135, which would redirect TABOR refund dollars away from Colorado taxpayers if passed on the November ballot.
The Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights exists to protect working families from unchecked government growth. When the state collects more revenue than it is allowed to spend, those funds are supposed to be returned to the people who paid them.
SB26-135 would undermine that protection by allowing billions of dollars that would otherwise be refunded to taxpayers to be retained and spent by the state.
Colorado families are already dealing with rising costs of living. Eliminating TABOR refunds would take even more money out of their pockets.
If the state believes education funding should increase, lawmakers should prioritize spending within the existing budget rather than taking away taxpayer refunds that belong to the people of Colorado.
Please stand up for taxpayers and vote NO on SB26-135.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

[Your City & State]

Summary

Don’t let politicians take your TABOR refund. Senate Bill 26-135 is the latest attempt to weaken the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights and redirect billions of dollars that should be returned to Colorado taxpayers. If this proposal succeeds, lawmakers could eliminate TABOR refunds for the next decade and permanently expand government spending. TABOR exists for a reason: When the government collects more than it is allowed to spend, the money belongs to you. SB26-135 would change that. Instead of refund checks going back to Colorado families, politicians want to send that money straight into government programs. Colorado voters have rejected attacks on TABOR before. But stopping this effort will require citizens to speak up now. Use the form below to send a message to your legislators and urge them to oppose SB26-135.
