The short explanation of this alert was:

Hundreds of Coloradoans have signed our petition to show their support for holding Colorado’s corporate criminals accountable.

But Colorado’s corporate lobby is stepping up its opposition—just last week, the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce showed up to lobby against a commonsense corporate fraud ballot initiative that would hold corporate criminals accountable.

Qwest Communications International retiree Lew Ellingson knows all too well the effects of white-collar crime.

His company’s former CEO, Joseph Nacchio, was convicted last year on corporate fraud charges. “I put in 30 years for the Bell System and worked by the rules to do my job,” Ellingson said. “To have the head of the corporation walk away with millions of dollars, while workers are losing their pensions—it’s flat out not fair. I proposed this initiative to hold those CEOs accountable.”

Sign our petition to say you’re tired of watching big corporations break the rules and leave Colorado taxpayers to pay the price.
