    Insatiable: the Democrats Must Attack Democracy to Serve Corporate Power

    See link….”The people have legalized marijuana and now take aim at raising the minimum wage, creating a universal healthcare system and ending the modern slavery of prison labor.

    Colorado’s constitution is just too democratic so establishment Democrats have joined forces with Republicans — both bankrolled by big oil and gas — to create proposition 71. 71 is an attempt to “protect” the state constitution from citizen activism. The main media argument is that the current arrangements are far too “messy” and allows “special interests” to amend the constitution.

    The Democrats plan on “raising the bar” by making constitutional revisions far more difficult and expensive to enact. In effect, the only special interest that will be prevented from revising the constitution is “We the People.” There is good evidence that the main goal is to stop the movement against fracking…”
