  • The Arc of Colorado 2019 Legislative Scorecard
    The Arc of Colorado 2019 Legislative Scorecard A Letter from Our Executive Director: Dear Members of The Arc Community, Once again, I would like to thank each of you for your part in a successful legislative session. We rely on your expertise in the field. We rely on you for our strength in numbers. For all the ways you contributed this session, we are deeply appreciative. I would like to give a special thanks to those that came and testified on our behalf; Stephanie Garcia, Carol Meredith, Linda Skafflen, Shelby Lowery, Vicki Wray, Rowan Frederiksen, and many others who I may not have mentioned here. This session was a historic one. For the first time in 75 years, one party had control of the house, senate, and governor’s office. Additionally, there were 43 new legislators! We enjoyed a productive year in which The Arc of Colorado monitored 100 bills. Of those that we supported, 92% were signed by the governor and 100% of the bills that we opposed died. This high success rate means that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families will have more opportunity to better live, work, learn, and play in their Colorado communities, with increased support. We are excited about many of this year’s outcomes. In a very tight budget year, the Joint Budget Committee was able to free up money for 150 additional slots for the Developmental Disabilities waiver waitlist. After three years of involvement, we finally saw the passing of HB19-1194, which places restrictions on suspensions and expulsions of children from preschool, through to second grade.

That’s the revelation that those of us, sitting here today, are free to reach. It was always just a matter of time that the opponents of equal rights for gays and lesbians would lose every court battle, and eventually, the battle in the state Legislature for civil unions. Yet in looking back over the decades-long struggle that has come to define Colorado’s treatment of its gay and lesbian citizens, one can’t help but marvel at the persistence of both the advocates for — and to some extent, the opponents of — gay rights. Those on the side of inclusion must have, at times, felt like Sisyphus (or his stuffed-animal approximation on our cover this week). What follows is hardly a comprehensive review of their efforts. But in tracing some of the LGBT struggles in Colorado, back to the campaign for Amendment 2, we hope to give a sense of how far up the mountain they’ve actually pushed their boulder.

In 2011, a group of plaintiffs, including a small minority of state legislators, brought a federal suit claiming that TABOR causes Colorado’s government to no longer be republican in form, an alleged violation of the Guarantee Clause, Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution. The court of appeals held that the political question doctrine does not bar federal courts from resolving this kind of dispute and that the Legislator-Plaintiffs have standing to redress the alleged diminution of their legislative power. The questions presented are as follows: 1. Whether, after this Court’s decision in New York v. United States, 505 U.S. 144 (1992), Plaintiffs’ claims that Colorado’s government is not republican in form remain non-justiciable political questions.

  • Carle Whitehead Memorial Award
    Carle Whitehead Memorial Award Carle Whitehead, an attorney and tireless worker in the cause of civil liberties, helped found the ACLU of Colorado in 1952. In 1954, he was presented with a plaque by friends upon which was engraved, “From the American Civil Liberties Union to Carle Whitehead in recognition for 50 years of unswerving devotion to the cause of human justice.” Beneath that was a thought from Justice Learned Hand: “While Liberty lies in the hearts of men, it needs no constitutions, no law, no courts to save it.” Since 1955, the Carle Whitehead Memorial Award has been awarded by the ACLU Foundation to Coloradans whose lives reflect the philosophy of its first recipient. 1954 Carle Whitehead 1992 U.S. Senator Tim Wirth 1955 Theodore J.
