Amendment 62 Defeated 3-1
Coloradans once again defeated Amendment 62, a deceptive, dangerous attempt by extremists to give legal rights to a fertilized egg.
With the final tally at 71-29 percent voting against, it's clear that all the door knocking, phone calls, editorials, letters to the editor, rallies, town halls and ads paid off. And we couldn't have done it without you.
Thank you so much for your support, your time, your donations and your vote!
As we celebrate this victory, it's important that we remember that Nov. 2 is just the beginning. We have to keep fighting to defend our right to make personal, private medical decisions without interference from politicians and the courts, to prevent one religious viewpoint from becoming the law of the land -- and to ensure that Colorado's women can access basic health care, including birth control, emergency contraception, and abortion.
The proponents of Amendment 62 have made it clear that -- no matter how many times they are defeated -- they will be back. We need to remain vigilant, and we need to be ready for whatever they come up with next. We'll keep educating Colorado voters about these attacks and fighting back against them, and we'll need to be able to call on you for help.
But for now, we celebrate all of our hard work and our success. Thank you again for your dedicated support of the NO on 62 Campaign.
Sincerely,
Fofi Mendez, Campaign Director; Cara DeGette, Communications Director; Shelley Schreiner, Field Director; Laura Chapin, Communications Coordinator; Brian Graves, Field Coordinator; Liz Mendez Telk, Administrator |
