WASHINGTON - Heritage Action, a conservative grassroots organization with over 2.5 million grassroots activists nationwide, including thousands of Coloradans, calls on Colorado Governor Jared Polis to veto HB 1312, legislation that threatens religious liberty, free speech, and imposes radical gender ideology on Centennial State families.
Heritage Action Colorado Director Kristen Christensen released the following statement urging Governor Polis to veto this legislation:
“HB 1312 is an outright attack on the fundamental rights of Colorado families. This legislation would effectively criminalize free speech, mandate schools prioritize indoctrination over education, put religious liberty at risk, and allow gender changes on state documents. In the dead of night, Colorado lawmakers attempted to amend their bill to appease parents, but their attempts fell short.
We strongly urge Governor Polis to veto this legislation and to defend Centennial State families and institutions from extreme, radical mandates.”
