Coalition For Equal Rights Press Release on September 10, 2007

14th_Amendment.jpg

Welcome To Our Site!

We are committed to the Equal Private Property Rights of the small bar, tavern, and restaurant owners. We are working with the Colorado Licensed Beverage Association to stop the violations of these rights under the 14th amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America.

Effective July 1, 2006 a statewide no-smoking ban was implemented, and cost thousands of Colorado’s favorite bar, tavern, and restaurant owners to suffer great profit losses, and many will close their doors. We are relying on everyone who believes in the 14th amendment to help support your favorite bar and restaurant owners, and donate today. The Coalition of Equal Rights, needs your support in order to fight against this injustice.

Welcome Statue of Liberty

"We believe that it is our responsibility as the Coalition For Equal Rights  to help save the "Mom & Pop" tavern and restaurant owners in the state of Colorado, and their businesses.  We must protect these Private Property Rights under the Constitution of the United States of America, and let no government violate those rights.  Our firm and staff members contribute time, talent, and money to help make a difference."

Norm Kjono's response to the failed attempt to over-ride the S-CHIP veto October 18, 2007

 
October 1, 2007
Mom and Pop neighborhood bars and taverns have lost revenue totaling over $ 25,000,000 since the ban went into effect.
Over 70 bars have closed as a direct effect of the smoking ban.
Excise tax revenue to the State has exponentially decreased as a direct effect of the ban.
Support vendors, suppliers and liquor distributors have lost money as a direct effect of the ban.
Hundreds of people, employees and there families, have lost income from job reductions and closures of bars and taverns as a direct effect of the ban. If you really care about children and single mothers, how can you justify this?

Through Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) payments and monies from other similar settlements, state governments have unprecedented funds available to them to reduce youth smoking. These settlements provide the states up to $246 billion from tobacco companies over a 25-year period for use in supporting anti-smoking efforts. Future annual payments, based upon inflation and cigarette sales, will continue in perpetuity.......

"Of all tyrannies a tyranny exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

- C.S. Lewis. "
