Ballot 300 is NOT a trick question

“Special Interest Groups” opposing our right to vote on 300 have resorted to fear-mongering and disinformation. This is a deceptive foil for all registered voters’ right to vote on matters important to citizens of Littleton. Let’s look at their claims, in quotes below:

“300 is a trick question” - Wrong - REvision Littleton worked with the Littleton City Clerk in composing the ballot. She is impartial and certainly not a trickster; neither are the 4000+ fellow concerned residents who signed the petition!

“Littleton’s voice will be silenced” - Wrong - Just the opposite. A YES vote on 300 gives Littleton citizens a voice to petition our government by aligning our Charter with Colorado municipal election laws.

“Tax Dollars Wasted” - Wrong - Calling the price of a fair election a waste of tax dollars exhibits profound disrespect for the democratic process. Instead, Council’s expenditure of $368,000 for professional election consultants in recent elections may be a better place to spot waste.

“Forcing elections every other month” - Wrong and just plain unrealistic. Circulating a petition is not easy and takes a great deal of citizens time, money and energy. It is logistically impossible for a citizen’s group to circulate a new petition every two months.

“Signatures from as few as 3% of residents” - Wrong and misleading. The number of required signatures, 5%, is based on the number of registered voters and not the number of “residents”
