Скачать или смотреть Rep Bottoms response to Speaker McCluskie's attempt at forcing him to use certain language.

This law, HB24-1071, is to give criminals the ability to legally change their name and “gender.” I explained last Friday that I do not participate in gender ideology nor will I let my speech be controlled by the Speaker of the House, Rep. Julie McCluskie. Once again, Speaker McCluskie took away my rights to speak and also told me I would only use certain words. This horrible bill uses a sexual predator and many times over convicted criminal as the NAME for the bill. I was not allowed to say his name. This bill will be used to hide criminals with multiple name changes. Once again, the democrats of the Colorado House of Representatives are defending sexual predators and putting children at harm, while also forcing my speech as an elected Representative for the state of Colorado.
