John Elway campaigns against amendment to raise minimum wage, health care. [View all]
In a weasel-like way Elway tells voters to vote against the amendment raising the minimum wage. His reason is that it doesn't belong in the constitution. He also says to vote against our health care amendment #69 because it too doesn't belong in our constitution. (Clearly wrong on this point!) Hey, our constitution is called, "the people's constitution" for a reason.
Then he asks that we support an amendment that "requires approval from a super-majority of 55 percent of voters in an election to pass a constitutional amendment instead of the simple majority now required."

If you support 71, that's ok. But the idea does seem a little arbitrary. What god says thou shall not put people's initiatives in the constitution? Oh yeah, the football god. Give me a break. We're paying for that stadium and he has the nerve to tell US what to vote for. Stadium money should be spent on things we really need. Our political system really is broken when you see the things going on. Oklahoma state does not allow cities to raise the minimum wage. Why doesn't Colorado stop cities from paying for professional sports stadium?
