How does this impact you? The principle of free speech is at risk and the foundation of direct democracy, where citizens have the right to propose and vote on laws without undue influence is in danger. Mountain States filed a petition for a writ of certiorari, asking the Supreme Court of the United States to take the case and limit the application of the government speech doctrine, ensuring that it only applies when the government is the sole author of a message. This would protect the rights of citizens and organizations like Advance Colorado to advocate for their causes without unwarranted government interference. #scotus #supremecourt #today #bigday #freespeech #petitions #ballot #taxes #colorado #democracy
