Colorado Personhood Ballot Initiative Must Replace 15,000 signatures in 15 Days
Denver, Colorado – The Colorado Secretary of State has disclosed that 15,690 of the 79,648 signatures submitted by Personhood Colorado were invalid. Beginning today, March 4, Personhood Colorado will have 15 days, per state initiative law, to replace the signatures.
Every ballot initiative campaign faces the challenge of validating signatures. Incorrect, illegible, or old addresses are typically the culprits, as petition signatures must match the recorded registered voter’s address.
“This is not unexpected news,” commented Keith Mason, co-founder of Personhood USA. “We anticipated that this 15 day curing period would be evoked, and we have been diligently preparing to get over 1,000 signatures each day of the 15 day period. It will be a challenge, but we are ready to get started.”
Personhood Colorado submitted 79,648 signatures on February 12. 76,047 valid signatures were required to put the measure on the 2010 ballot.
“On March 18, we fully expect to have 15,690 valid signatures to submit to the secretary of State’s office, ensuring that the Personhood Amendment is on the 2010 ballot,” continued Mason. “Once the amendment is on the ballot, we will see that every person is protected by love and by law.”
Personhood Colorado is required to submit 15,690 valid signatures of Colorado registered voters on March 18 by 3:00pm.

Dear Allies In The Battle For Human Dignity, Wednesday 8:56 PM

Great things have happened in Colorado. We are in the epicenter of the Personhood explosion across the country!  And that is largely because of your support and prayers!  Thank you!

Now we need of you more than ever, the situation couldn’t be more critical!

I just got off the phone with the Secretary of State in Colorado.  Even though we turned in over 79,000 signatures it was not enough.  The SOS has thrown out 15,690 signatures he called “invalid”.

Now we have 15 days to mobilize our volunteers and finish the job.  The good news is we are READY!  We have been working to prepare and now we can finish the job. Our volunteers are working already to gather the15,690 signatures to finish the job.

The bad news: every single penny we have for Colorado has been spent.  To mobilize our forces we critically need $9,425 TODAY!

There’s no time to spare, so I am counting on you to click here https://www.personhoodusa.com/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=4 right now and contribute your best gift to finish the job in Colorado!

A volunteer called me a few days ago, and thanked us for doing this again.  He is encouraged that we are willing to fight for the preborn no matter what! And he’s confident that 2010 will be a great year for ALL conservative issues.

I couldn’t agree more!  The “political winds” are blowing like a hurricane in our direction.  Every sane voter is fed up with the crazy liberals right now!  

That’s one reason it is critical to regain ballot access, but not the only one.

The most important reason for you to click here
https://www.personhoodusa.com/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=4 and contribute your very best gift today is the beautiful ministry and education that happens when personhood hits the ballot.

This year, and this vote, (IF we gain ballot access), will be huge for the tiny defenseless preborn persons and the adults who need to learn about the dignity of all people. 
 
We already know what the pro-death industry will say, but their deceptions and scare tactics will not work this time!

So I write you today with utmost urgency. Can we count on you to help us with your best gift of $1,000 $300 or $50 right now?  If 100 people could give $94.25 RIGHT NOW, we would have the funds we need to put gas in our tanks, send out communications and fully mobilize thousands of volunteers.

Will you be a part of this victory today?  I pray so, would you pray and see what the Lord leads you to contribute?

God’s grace be with you,

Keith Mason
Personhood USA

Attention faithful petitioners,

As you may have heard, we are about to begin “bonus time” for getting any signatures that were thrown out.

Soon, the Colorado Secretary of State will let us know how many errors he found and thus how many additional signatures we must get to make it on the ballot. We’ll have 15 days to make it happen.

Come join us at our “bonus time” kickoff rallies in Colorado Springs and Denver.

With Special Guest: Cal Zastrow Co Founder of Personhood USA
He will be in town to inspire and kick our butts!

We did it!

By God's grace and months of sweat put into the campaign, Personhood CO turned in 80,000 signatures to the Secretary of State! This is great news, but we can't quite celebrate yet. The Secretary of State's office is looking through each petition and throwing out any invalid signatures right now. Once they are done, our total signature count is going to be less than the required 76,000.

The bright side is that we will have a fifteen day curing period to make up for the signatures thrown out.

Co-sponsors Personhood Colorado and Colorado Right to Life see this two week curing period as an opportunity to force the continued discussion and education that comes with this kind of state-wide initiative. It will help millions of people understand that the right to life comes not from the government but from God, our Creator.

Please call Personhood Colorado right now at 303-456-2800 and request a petition for round two. Leave your name and phone number and we'll call you when the curing period starts.

Remember, don't get any signatures before you get word that the Secretary of State has given us the go ahead. Any signatures you collect before then will be invalid.

We hope to see you while we're gathering signatures at libraries, in parking lots, and the best places: the March 16 caucuses and your church!
