For the last forty years, special interests, like Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL), have made decisions that should rightfully be made by Colorado voters. All the while, these groups have used your tax dollars for their own gain. Now is your chance to help restore power to its proper place -- you, the voter.

Amendment 48, the Personhood Amendment, will allow the democratic process to decide issues that, for decades, have been determined by the abortion industry and its allies. It will catch our laws up to our science and restore the intrinsic value of every human being, no matter what stage of development.
No wonder this proposed amendment amassed 131,000 signatures during the petition drive to put it on the ballot. Setting a record for the number of signatures raised is amazing because they were largely collected by unpaid volunteers.
Of course, the same special interests that profit from abortion worked hard to keep the Personhood Amendment off the ballot. They claim they want 'choice', but don't want to allow Colorado voters the choice of determining if our state constitution should define 'person' or 'persons' as beginning at fertilization*.
The Amendment 48 position is backed by every geneticist and embryology textbook available.
The 'no on 48" campaign is funded primarily by Planned Parenthood, but has also received donations from NARAL, the ACLU, and even individuals like late-term Boulder abortionist Warren Hern.
These are all groups and individuals that benefit from the multi-billion dollar abortion industry. Because there is no financial profit in ending abortion, Amendment 48 is strictly a grass roots effort. But even though its opponents have been able to outspend us five to one, 48 is gaining momentum because of the hard work and donations of thousands of volunteers.
We can't let up now. We have been able to keep pace with the 'no on 48' coalition by outworking them, but there is one important area where more funding is an absolute necessity – television advertising.
In the Denver market it costs approximately $100 to run one of our ads, but we need to run the ads thousands of times! The opposition has been hammering away with their propaganda, constantly drumming their mantras and scare tactics into the minds of the voters. We need to offset their efforts with a good dose of truth. We have ads prepared and you can view them at http://voteyescolorado.org
Anything you can contribute will help. So far, our thousands of volunteers have neutralized the opposition's well-funded efforts and driven our own campaign forward. If we each contribute what we can, we can also counteract their advertising. Victory is in sight, but we need one last all-out effort.
We all have a responsibility to protect innocent life. The fight to protect life is here in Colorado but you can help even if you do not live here!
Colorado voters have an unprecedented opportunity to do exactly that by acknowledging what we know to be true.
Help us tell the truth with your donation, and tell everyone you know to vote yes on 48!
