<p>UPDATE: Read the news <a href="http://blog.greateducation.org/diary/527/house-of-represetatives-puts-an-end-to-decide">here</a></p>
<p>On March 24, the <a href="http://www.greatfuturescolorado.org/">Great  Futures Colorado Campaign</a> unveiled a proposed referred measure  called DECIDE: &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline;">D</span>ECIDE: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">E</span>ducation <span style="text-decoration: underline;">C</span>uts or <span style="text-decoration: underline;">I</span>nvest  in our <span style="text-decoration: underline;">D</span>emocracy and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">E</span>conomy.&#8221;</p>

<p>Right now, the legislature has one primary tool left to balance the  budget: slashing education funding.  The resulting cuts are doing  lasting damage to our kids and our future.  That&#8217;s why inaction is no  longer an option.</p>
<p>&#8220;DECIDE&#8221; would let Colorado voters give legislators  the ability to balance our budget without dismantling our education  system.</p>
<p>Colorado is at a crossroads: Education Cuts OR  Invest in our kids, our schools, our colleges &#8212; our future.</p>
<p>If you think  Colorado should do more investing and less cutting, endorse DECIDE &#8212; and help us make a difference for kids.</p>
