About Me

We are a Non-profit Organization working to defeat the smoking ban in Colorado. The majority of our members are bar and tavern owners, around 500 establishments. We are also bartenders, wait staff, vendors, entertainment industry and individual citizens who believe their rights have been taken away.Bar and restaurant owners should have the right to decide whether to allow smoking or not. And people should have the right to chose on frequenting a smoking establishment or avoiding them, without choices we are not free.We have a pending appeal. Our Court date is set at Nov 15th at 9am. Directions can be found on our website. We can win this, if we fight together.Please feel free to visit our main website at www.stopthebans.comMyspace Layouts
