Colorado's  water, property rights, and heritage are under attack.

Out-of-state special interests want to overturn 150 years of Colorado water and property law so they can recreate anywhere they want—trampling private property rights, threatening riparian ecosystems, and hurting rural communities.

ACTION ALERT!

Out of state special interests  are at it again in Colorado. This time trying to overturn 150 years of Colorado law governing water and property rights, apparently so they can fish anywhere they want when they visit - without needing to hire a guide or help a local economy.

This so called
"Right to Wade" proposal  would be one of the largest government takings of private property rights in U.S. history — not parcel by parcel, but across thousands of miles of rivers and hundreds of communities in Colorado. 

What good reason do proponents give for introducing such a massively disruptive and costly proposal?   Acting not unlike children who want to play with another kid's toys, proponents think they should have the right to recreate on other people's property against the wishes of the property owner.

Not surprisinglythe
Colorado Supreme Court has told them they have no such right, reaffirming obvious, historic, and settled property rights. Undeterred, proponents are now running to their friends in the legislature and asking the state to take those properties from their owners and make them public. In short, proponents  believe their hobbies are more important than another person's home.

Please help us fight back against this selfish, destructive proposal . Click below to contact your state legislator and check back for more updates.
