Not allowed to participate

I just found out that I won't be able to participate in the Colorado Primary caucus. I am a registered voter, but in the Democratic Party in Colorado you can't participate unless you have affiliated yourself before hand, post marked and all that stuff. I watched Obama and Hillary and I've made up my mind but I don't get to participate.

So much for freedom choose. Just have to wait for someone else to choose who I can vote for. Seems a little convoluted to me. How are these voting restrictions helping our country to handle the challenges that face it. The parties seem to have taken away some of the voters power for themselves.

And what if I become a Democrat and in the next election I find a Republican I like better. Will I have to change my affiliation to the other party. These affiliation regulations are wrong. People don't want to choose parties they want choose the best person for the job regardless of party, in spite of the party.
