Amendment 70 Persuasive Speech

I want you to close your eyes for a moment. Imagine Amendment 70 passes, what do you see? Do you see yourself prospering? No longer living check to check? Now open them. Amendment 70 seems like a God send doesn’t it. This is simply an illusion, a mirage in the desert. However way you want to put it, Amendment 70 seems too good to be true because it is.

Colorado’s minimum wage already goes up every year with inflation, and has risen 61% in the last 10
