Due to a mistake on the part of the Secretary of State, we have been notified that the petition turn in date has been moved forward by four days. 

This means that we have one less weekend to collect signatures.

THE ABSOLUTE DROP DEAD LAST DAY TO MAIL IN YOUR PETITIONS IS MONDAY, FEB. 8TH

FAQ's

Here are a few answers to frequently asked questions:

1.  YOU CAN MAIL IN PETITIONS TO US (NO NEED TO BRING THEM IN PERSON)

2.  DON'T FORGET TO GET THE PETITIONS NOTARIZED* BEFORE YOU MAIL THEM IN

     *Your Bank Will Notarize it for Free.

3.  WE NEED THE PETITIONS IN THE MAIL BY MONDAY, THE 8th of FEB.

Some folks don't have access to email.  Would you make sure that all of your friends, relatives, and fellow church members know about the new petition turn in date?  We would hate to be missing the necessary amount of signatures on turn in date just to have them come in a few days late!

Also, please remember that it is not too late to get a few more signatures.  Request more petitions from us if you have already turned yours in.  The initiative process is a grueling thing, but we are almost done. 

WILL YOU HELP US WITH A SECOND WIND PUSH THESE LAST TWO WEEKENDS?

STATUS UPDATE:

We still don't have the necessary number of signatures, but they are coming in strong now. 

2010 is going to be an amazing year for pro-lifers, and we simply can't afford to miss ballot access, so even if you have already turned in a petition, call us and get another petition now.  Go to your pastor and plead with him one last time.  Call up your friends and family and squeeze them for their signatures. Every single one is going to count folks.

Please call us with any questions, it's better to be safe than sorry!

God bless,

Colorado Personhood Amendment Encounters Historical March for Life Success, Legal Setbacks

Contact: Keith Mason, Personhood USA, 202-595-3500 ext. 1

DENVER, Jan. 25 /Christian Newswire/ — Friday’s Colorado March for Life, presented by Colorado Right to Life, was the largest in recent history, with marchers at the State Capitol numbering nearly 1,500. The march was marked by an unprecedented number of teens, with young people making up the majority of participants.

‘Personhood’ was the theme, with each speaker highlighting the need to recognize Personhood rights for preborn babies from the moment of their biological beginning. The Personhood USA slogan “Persons Not Property” was displayed prominently, and chants of “Roe v. Wade has got to go!” resounded through the streets surrounding the March.

The March for Life began with a press conference featuring film and television star Eduardo Verastegui. “I am here to support the Personhood movement, and to ask everyone to sign the petition so we can pass this amendment,” declared Verastegui. “Coming from Mexico, I come from a different perspective where the personhood movement is a reality…I am very proud to tell you that in over half of the country, 17 states already, life is protected from the moment of conception to natural death. I would love to see that reality here in America.”

Speakers included Maria Lancaster, a mom who adopted her daughter Elisha as a frozen embryo, Rebecca Keissling, author of “Conceived in Rape: A Story of Hope”, and Pastor Jim Shaddix from Riverside Baptist Church.

Prominent figures included Denver Bishop James D. Conley, Senator Scott Renfroe, Senator Dave Schultheis, Senator Kevin Lundberg, State Representative Amy Stephens, State Representative B.J. Nikkel, State Representative Cory Gardner, Tom Lucero, currently running for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, and Jimmy Lakey, currently running for Colorado’s 7th Congressional District.

“It was amazing to see such a sizeable crowd standing as a witness for pre-born babies. The West side of the Capitol was filled to overflowing!” remarked Gualberto Garcia-Jones, co-sponsor of the Colorado Personhood Amendment. “Volunteers returned hundreds of full petitions, and we passed out hundreds of blank petitions to both existing and new volunteers.”

Along with the large turnout and petition success came some negative news from the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office. The deadline date has changed from February 15th to February 12th, losing a critical weekend for the signature drive. “We are disappointed by this news, but not discouraged,” continued Garcia-Jones. “We will continue to work day and night to ensure we have the signatures needed to get on the ballot.”
