Human Life Amendment Signatures Certified –
Historic Amendment Officially on November's Ballot
Denver, Colorado – May 29, 2008 – For the first time in US history, the
issue of personhood will be decided in the public forum by a
constitutional amendment. Colorado for Equal
Rights has been notified by the Colorado Secretary of State's Office that
enough valid signatures were submitted to put the Every Human is a Person
amendment on the November 2008 ballot. The Secretary of State's Office's
random sampling indicated that there were 103,377 valid signatures,
surpassing the 76,047 valid signatures that
were required.
"The people of Colorado have spoken, the Secretary of State's Office has
certified our signatures, and our equal rights amendment will be on
November's ballot," stated Kristi Burton, initiative sponsor. "All humans
should be protected by love and by law, and this amendment is a historic
effort to ensure equal rights for every person."
Colorado for Equal Rights has demonstrated an unparalleled grassroots effort
thus far, with likely more volunteer circulators than any other ballot
initiative in the State's history. The grassroots initiative had over 1,300
volunteer petition circulators.
"We at Colorado for Equal Rights are incredibly thankful for our many
volunteers who worked so hard for each signature we delivered to the
Secretary of State's Office and the churches who stood behind us and
supported us," Burton continued. "This victory is the voice of the people
and all credit goes to our Creator"
Colorado for Equal Rights is a statewide grassroots organization of
concerned citizens who value human life. Colorado for Equal Rights is
sponsoring the Human Life Amendment to the Colorado constitution, stating
"(t)he term 'Person' or 'Persons' shall include any human from the time
of
fertilization."
