The right to heat and cook with affordable natural gas belongs to Coloradans — not unelected bureaucrats. Amendment 82 protects it. Vote YES by November 3.
Some Colorado communities have already restricted natural gas in new homes, and state policy increasingly pushes toward electrification. Those costs land on your utility bills, your rent, and your business. Amendment 82 puts a stop to decisions being made for you.
YES — Adds a right to the Colorado Constitution for you to buy natural gas to heat and cook in your home or business.
NO — Does not add that protection. Whether you can keep using natural gas stays up to future state and local policy.
Amendment 82 doesn't make anyone use natural gas. It protects your ability to keep using it.
Amendment 82 needs 55% to pass. Pledge to vote YES and we'll remind you when ballots arrive.
Pledge to vote YESNo. Amendment 82 gives rights to people, not government. It limits what any government can do to take away your choice to heat and cook with natural gas — whether that decision is made at the Capitol or city hall.
Because a law or regulation can be changed by the next legislature or agency vote. Your family's heat shouldn't depend on which way the next vote goes.
No. Use any energy you want. Amendment 82 simply keeps natural gas on the list.
The nonpartisan Blue Book mailed to every Colorado voter says a YES vote on Amendment 82 "establishes a state constitutional right to purchase and sell natural gas for use in homes and businesses." It also notes it passes with 55% of the vote.
Amendment 82 comes after all the candidates and judges, near the start of the statewide measures. Keep going until you find it — and mark YES.
Every vote counts double on this one: constitutional amendments need 55% of the vote to pass, not just a majority.
