House District 53 (Fort Collins)

[Fitz19d]

Completely random. Don't really want to start any debates, just throwing out an opinion.

Please get out and vote, and if open to suggestions, for whatever it's worth coming from me, I urge anyone on the fence to vote for Tim Bessler.

Why I'd encourage even normally (D) voters is that I've known this guy for a long time, and know he's not a party line type. More of a true middle of the line independant that looks at things independantly. If you look into him outside a few smear op ed pieces, you'll find he has issues that are on the side of what would normally consider liberal "team". While usually Dem and Rep are polarized in opposite usually extreme directions to what a random individual might think, he's I think a lot more reasonable middle of the roader.

For what it's worth, the Coloradoan usually considered a "Liberal" media peices actually endorsed him over the other candidate.

Yes, everyone should vote!! No matter what your vote is, you should still vote, but I will say everyone should vote YES on 105 and give Monsanto the finger

On that topic, Monsanto is not the only company that uses GMO. A lot of products are GMO in some way and would put a red flag on anything exported from Colorado. Now if all states did it I would be all for it. But its possible it will just be the same thing as California's cancer warning cared about for a month and then completely ignored. So hard to say.

TLDR: Does not only screw over Monsanto, but many other farmers as well.

Just my $0.02 on 105

+1. I don't want to turn this into a big debate, but I think 105 is the wrong way to go about this. I'm not convinced either way on GMOs, but I can tell that Monsanto is going to suffer the least from this.
I think this Denver Post editorial does a good job highlighting some of the issues with the Proposition.

Either way, I encourage everyone to vote and take some time to research all of the issues on the ballot so you know you are making an informed vote.
