An election initiative recently approved for signature-gathering by Colorado ballot-access regulators means that for the first time in a century, Coloradans have an alternative to political stagnation, hyper-partisanship, and a seemingly endless stream of political acrimony, recalls, court fights, government shutdowns, secession movements and negative campaign ads.
That alternative is to give more power to the radical center, where compromise is a virtue, where progress becomes the norm, not the exception, where Coloradans can renew their faith in their state — and their country — and where the economy can get supercharged, so that job growth and wealth creation are accelerated.
