Dear [Sen./Rep.] [LAST NAME]:

Dear Representatives and Senators,

I am writing to urge you to vote no on Colorado's HB25-1312, a bill introduced in the 2025 legislative session that poses a severe threat to parental rights, family autonomy, and free speech. While presented as a protective measure for transgender individuals, this legislation oversteps its stated purpose, granting the state alarming authority to interfere in private family matters and punish parents who resist ideological indoctrination. For the sake of our families, our freedoms, and our children's well-being, I implore you to reject this dangerous overreach.

HB25-1312 enables a troubling trend of gender ideology in schools, which is indoctrination rather than education. It convinces children that normal puberty discomfort or preferences for toys typically associated with one sex signal a transgender identity. Puberty is inherently challenging—awkwardness and confusion are universal—yet this bill supports a narrative that twists these experiences into something they are not. Education should prioritize foundational skills—math, English, history—free from bias, not serve as a conduit for gender propaganda or LGBT agendas. Children need basics, not lessons on sex or identity. By codifying this exposure, HB25-1312 creates a pipeline for coercion, pushing young minds toward identities they cannot fully comprehend.

Worse, the bill labels "deadnaming" (using a child's birth name) and "misgendering" (using biological pronouns) as "coercive control" in custody disputes. Parents who refuse to affirm an identity their child has been conditioned to adopt risk losing custody. This is not protection—it is thought control, demanding submission to state-imposed ideology under threat of family separation. Additionally, by classifying these actions as discriminatory under Colorado law, HB25-1312 stifles free speech. Parents could face penalties for using a daughter's birth name or saying "he" to a son, even if guided by biology or personal conviction. This erodes the fundamental right to raise children according to one's values.

Children are impressionable, and flooding them with gender ideology risks lasting harm—confusion, regret, and potentially irreversible decisions. HB25-1312 dismisses this reality, punishing parents who seek to guide their kids through these challenges rather than conform to a state-dictated script. This is government overreach reminiscent of authoritarian indoctrination tactics, fracturing families under a false pretense of care.

I urge you to consider the stakes: HB25-1312 greenlights ideological grooming, silences dissent, and undermines the parent-child bond. On April 1, 2025, as this bill looms, I ask you to stand with Coloradans who reject this intrusion. Vote no to protect free speech, preserve parental authority, and keep the state out of our homes. Families—not bureaucrats—should shape our children's futures.

Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. I trust you will act to defend the rights and freedoms of your constituents.

Sincerely,
[SIGNATURE]
