Weekly Lit Drops till the Election!

Can you believe it?  In only 90 days Colorado will decide whether to grant children in the womb the dignity and the rights that accompany being considered a person under the law.  If we count the fact that a huge number of people vote via mail-in ballot, the time is even shorter!

There are several very important things that we need everyone who supports personhood to do.

1.  Join www.MyCampaignTracker.org and start using it.  This website will enable you to target your own neighborhood with campaign merchandise and information.  It will also allow us to know how the campaign is doing all over the state.  If you are intimidated by the website, don't hesitate to call Donna at 303 753 9394 and ask her to walk you through the website on the phone.

2.  We need you to dig deep and help the campaign financially.  You can donate to Personhood Colorado right on the website using a credit card, or you can mail in a donation to our offices at 8795 Ralston Rd. Suite 220, Arvada CO 80002

We have already started putting up billboards, but the costs of printing are very large.  We have printed and distributed tens of thousands of informational handouts, T-shirts, and bumper stickers. 

We also will start working through a list of over 200,000 known pro-lifers in colorado, calling them individually to bolster their support for Amendment 62 and to ask them to get involved. 

But to do this we need $50,000 in the next two weeks. 

Maybe you can't afford to donate right now, but you know someone who is in a position to help financially?  Would you talk to them, share your passion for Amendment 62 with them, and ask them to donate and get involved?

It has been a year since we went before the Secretary of State's Title Board and got the petition approved.  Along the way we have talked to hundreds of thousands of people about the need to respect all human life. 

We have gone out to meet our fellow citizens wherever they congregate from the state fair, to Christian festivals, to churches,  to local parades, and to supermarkets, libraries, post offices, and many more places to boot. 

Now is the time to make all that effort come to fruition and hit the abortion industry hard with our personal sacrifice.  We are counting on you, and we know that with God's grace, you will come through, and we will see an end to abortion and the dehumanization of all people.

God bless you always,

Gualberto

P.S.  Did you know that Amendment 62 is the only pro-life measure to be on the ballot this Novemeber in the entire United States of America?  What we do here will make a difference in the whole nation!

Personhood Mississippi responds to lawsuit against right to life and right to vote in Mississippi

ACLU and Planned Parenthood attorneys have filed an injunction against the Mississippi Secretary of State, seeking to disallow Mississippi voters from voting on the Mississippi Personhood Amendment.

Amendment sponsors and volunteers exceeded state signature requirements on February 17, becoming only the fourth successful ballot initiative since 1992. The one-sentence amendment reads, “The term ‘person’ or ‘persons’ shall include every human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning or the functional equivalent thereof.”

“I find it ironic that the plaintiffs would wait until the first day the court is open after Independence Day, then file a lawsuit that seeks to continue the oppression of the preborn and deny the rights of over 130,000 Mississippi voters,” commented Steve Crampton, renowned Liberty Council Constitutional Attorney.

In regards to the injunction, Lt. Governor Phil Bryant said, “It is unfortunate that certain people would want to block the protection of innocent human life here in Mississippi by filing suit. Not only are they trying to stop pro-life policy but are also trying to deny the voters of Mississippi an opportunity to voice their beliefs on this issue. Those of us who believe there is nothing as important as protecting the unborn will continue to fight to give Mississippians the right to vote to end abortion in our state.”

The ACLU has also joined forces with Planned Parenthood in Nevada, Missouri, and Alaska, employing similar tactics to keep Personhood petitioners and voters from exercising their Constitutional rights. In those states, despite costly delays, the courts have yet to issue a ruling.

“As to the statement that we are ‘redefining a fertilized egg as a person’ it has always been the practice of those who want to deny rights to others to use terminology to dehumanize them. There is no such thing as a fertilized egg, as the new life they are referring to is no longer an egg but a person with his or her own DNA,” explained Les Riley, sponsor of the Mississippi Personhood Amendment. “Further, The ACLU and Planned Parenthood attorneys allege that the one-sentence amendment modifies the Bill of Rights, yet the proposed amendment does not modify any section of the Bill of Rights, it simply clarifies to whom those rights apply. We are not in any way ‘amending’ the Bill of Rights. We do not strike out, insert, substitute any words, or formally alter the current Bill of Rights in any way.”

Continued Riley, “This is clearly a preposterous lawsuit, intended to interfere with Mississippi citizens’ right to vote, and to protect Planned Parenthood’s abortion cash cow. Planned Parenthood and the ACLU are seeking to protect Planned Parenthood’s one billion dollar a year profit, while Mississippi voters are seeking to protect innocent life. We intend to fight this suit, defending our rights as Mississippi voters and the most basic right of preborn children, the right to life.”

Historic Campaign Web Portal Launched for Colorado Personhood Amendment

MEDIA ADVISORY, July 2 /Christian Newswire/ — Colorado’s Amendment 62 personhood campaign is set to launch a remarkable Internet tool, MyCampaignTracker.org, on July 4th, 2010. The Tracker will help our state secure recognition of the right to life acknowledged by America’s Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life…”

“We have human rights because we are made in our Creator’s image and likeness,” said amendment co-sponsor Leslie Hanks, “and therefore we have a moral obligation to protect and love our children, born and preborn.”

MyCampaignTracker.org is a multi-functioning website designed to capitalize on the grassroots personhood movement in Colorado, and will be utilized to saturate the state with grassroots activity through November’s election.

MyCampaignTracker.org is designed to encourage the grassroots personhood movement in Colorado to reach local communities across our state with our campaign message of “Persons not Property,” through November’s election.

The innovative MyCampaignTracker.org answers the question: “What can I do to help?” Pro-life Coloradans select a campaign activity, follow simple instructions, and make their campaign efforts visible to other Amendment 62 supporters. Supporters can actually watch their efforts combine into a greater whole to make a difference on behalf of preborn babies in Colorado.

Colorado’s Personhood Amendment has boasted one of the largest volunteer signature campaigns in state history, resulting in one of the largest pro-life grassroots organizations Colorado has ever seen. In March, volunteers surprised naysayers by collecting 46,671 signatures, when only just over 15,000 were required. Colorado personhood volunteers are eager to begin using MyCampaignTracker.org.

“Personhood is a movement of average people, with average resources, fighting an enormous battle against the killing of human persons,” stated Keith Mason, co-founder of Personhood USA. “We have seen these people, many of whom had never volunteered for a pro-life cause before, band together with God’s help to post amazing victories in putting Personhood on the ballot. Now, with MyCampaignTracker.org, we have a phenomenal resource that can help us win in November.”

Amendment 62, co-sponsored by Colorado Right To Life and Personhood Colorado, states: “Person defined. As used in sections 3, 6, and 25 of Article II of the state constitution, the term ‘person’ shall apply to every human being from the beginning of the biological development of that human being.”
