iVoterGuide Notes:
"We support legislation guaranteeing equal treatment and protecting all individuals from discrimination, including laws that require entities seeking to do business with the State of Colorado verify that they, in turn, are not directly or indirectly supporting discriminatory practices."
Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or public funds.

Who should be allowed to immigrate to the U.S. and under what circumstances?
