Secretary Of State Certifies The Colorado Civil Rights Initiative For November Ballot
SECRETARY OF STATE CERTIFIES THE COLORADO CIVIL RIGHTS INITIATIVE FOR NOVEMBER BALLOT
Quote:
Denver, CO. Today the Colorado Civil Rights Initiative received notice that the Secretary of State has determined that the Colorado Civil Rights Initiative has submitted enough signatures to gain access to the November ballot.
"I am delighted that the people of Colorado will have a chance to vote Yes for fairness and equality in November," said Valery Pech Orr, co-proponent of the initiative. Linda Chavez, also a proponent of
the Initiative continued, "The people of Colorado will finally have the opportunity to say no to discrimination, ending the decades-long double standard that has been fostered by race- and gender-based preferences."
Ward Connerly, national advocate for equal rights, congratulated the Colorado Coalition on their success, "The people in Colorado who have the desire to end race and gender preferences are to be commended for their success." Connerly continued, "I am delighted that the
Super-Tuesday for Equal Rights effort has achieved another milestone towards success in November."
The Colorado Civil Rights Initiative is a state constitutional amendment that will appear as Amendment 46 on the November 2008 ballot. A "Yes" vote on this initiative will ban discrimination and preferences based on race, gender, national origin, color, and ethnicity in state hiring, state contracting, and state education.
The Colorado Civil Rights Initiative (CoCRI) is dedicated to giving the people of Colorado the opportunity to end preferential treatment based on race, gender, ethnicity, or national origin by state and local governments. CoCRI will make Colorado a place of equal opportunity for all, not a state that uses preferential treatment as a tool to create "diversity." Achieving "diversity" should never be an excuse to discriminate!

Big step forward... 
What this is saying is "Black people were screwed 40 years ago, but we will NOT try and make it "even out" by screwing white people now."...
When a group has been hit with injustice in the past the way to resolve it is FAIRNESS and not trying to equal it out by pushing injustice on the other side...
