From Colorado LegiSource:  In 2006, the Colorado Republican Party (CRP) made a request under the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA), part 2 of article 72 of title 24, Colorado Revised Statutes, to several Democratic members of the House of Representatives (Representatives) asking for documents relating to an entity identified as Research & Democracy. At the time, the Representatives had in their possession responses from constituents in their respective districts to surveys that Research & Democracy sent out on the Representatives’ behalf.

The survey asked a constituent to indicate what was the most important thing the Legislature accomplished during the 2005 session and what two topics should be priorities for legislators in the upcoming 2006 session. A constituent could check a box next to a choice of printed responses or handwrite a response. The survey also asked if the constituent would like to receive email updates from the legislator, and a space was provided for the constituent to write his or her email address. Constituents mailed completed responses back to their elected Representatives.
