ProgressNow Colorado

Dear Friend,

Our work is cut out for us, and we need to start now.

The last few days have shown us that the extreme right is more determined than ever. They thumbed their noses at state campaign finance laws to grab school board and city council seats in Colorado. They continue to organize violent, hate-filled protests like the tea party rallies. Most importantly, we've learned that right-wing groups are gathering signatures right now to place several extreme initiatives on the ballot next year--including another initiative to ban most forms of birth control in Colorado and at least three initiatives pushed by Doug Bruce to further cripple state and local government.

We have no time to waste. Will you contribute to help us beat back these right-wing initiatives?

The so-called "personhood amendment" they want to put into the Constitution would ban all abortions, many types of contraception, and even fertility treatments. They're flouting Colorado's campaign finance laws to hide the sources of their funding--and their spending. They reported spending just $2.55 in three months despite sending thousands of petition forms out with signature gatherers. Unbelievable.

The three "Bruce Amendments" would permanently slash funding for transportation projects and schools, and outlaw all bond issues. The far right sees Colorado as a Petri dish for their crazy ideas, and we've paid the price for their experiments for too long.

ProgressNow Colorado is the only organization in Colorado that has as its mission to oppose the extreme right on every front. And we depend entirely on support from folks like you. Can you chip in something today to help us keep up the fight?

The far right is emboldened and energized, and they are getting organized. Would you contribute $20, $50, $100 or more to fight for the progressive values we share?

Thanks for everything you do.

Best regards,
Bobby Clark
