CUT Engaged
Welcome to CUT Engaged
CUT Engaged is a new initiative by the Colorado Union of Taxpayers (CUT) designed to empower Colorado citizens to take direct action on legislation that impacts them. Through CUT Engaged, taxpayers can easily send messages to the sponsors of selected bills, urging them to support or oppose policies based on CUT’s pro-taxpayer stance.
How CUT Engaged Works
- Stay Informed – CUT reviews key legislation and explains each bill’s impact on taxpayers.
- Take Action – Each CUT Engaged post features a personalized form that allows you to email the bill sponsors directly.
- Make Your Voice Heard – You can send CUT’s recommended message or personalize your email to include your own perspective.
- Amplify Your Impact – You can add your state senator and representative to ensure they also hear your stance.
- Legislators Get the Message – Your email is sent directly to the lawmakers responsible for the bill, with Kim Monson, President of CUT, as the reply-to contact for any legislative responses. This ensures CUT has full visibility of the communication and minimizes potential abuse of the system by bad actors.
Why CUT is Providing This to Colorado Taxpayers
For nearly 50 years, the Colorado Union of Taxpayers (CUT) has been the state’s leading advocate for fiscal responsibility, transparency, and taxpayer rights. CUT Engaged is an extension of this mission, making it easier than ever for Colorado citizens to have a voice in the legislative process.
Many bills pass without real public input. Lawmakers need to hear from the people who will be affected most—you, the taxpayer. CUT Engaged removes the barriers to participation, ensuring that Colorado’s taxpaying citizens can quickly and effectively communicate with legislators before critical votes take place.
Stay informed. Take action. Protect Colorado taxpayers.
