PLEASE BRING THIS RESOLUTION TO YOUR CAUCUS ON TUESDAY

First find the location of your neighborhood caucus meeting and attend it on Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. Then, when the chairman ask if anyone has a resolution to offer, simply provide him with a printout of this resolution, and you can read the single sentence to the group yourself if you'd like:

Personhood Resolution

Be it resolved that we support the Colorado
Personhood Amendment effort to protect
the unborn child at every stage of development.

Depending upon your precinct process, you or someone may make a motion to vote on your resolution, and a second person may have to second the motion, and then there may be discussion. Let your neighbors know that if the measure is passed, the personhood and right to life of preborn babies will be restored. (See also, Colorado RTL's Personhood Campaign Talking Points).

In the last two elections, our resolution passed at hundreds of caucuses statewide, and if it passes now in yours, we want to make sure that it is voted on at the county assembly! Then as it is likely that it will pass there, it will go on for consideration at the state party assembly where it will almost certainly pass and become part of the state party platform! So by Wednesday morning, Feb. 8th, please email us at office@ColoradoRTL.org and let us know if your caucus adopted the resolution, and if you'd like, you can also tell your county party chairman or resolution committee, and confirm that they will be introducing the personhood resolution at the county level.

Finally, you may want to enter your name to be a delegate for your county assembly where you can continue to exert influence to protect unborn children!

May God bless your efforts!

Denver, CO -- Capitol Press Conference Launches Round Three! A personhood coalition in November 2011 announced the wording of Colorado's 2012 Right To Life amendment launching Round Three, Colorado's third attempt to protect every unborn child by love and by law. The personhood coalition of Colorado Right To Life, Personhood Colorado, and Personhood USA submitted the following language to the Secretary of State:

Be it Enacted by the People of the State of Colorado Article II of the Constitution of the State of Colorado is amended by the addition of a new section to read:

Section 32. The right to life.

(1) Purpose. In order to affirm basic human dignity, be it resolved that the right to life in this constitution applies equally to all innocent persons.

(2) Effect. The intentional killing of any innocent person is prohibited.
   (a) Only birth control that kills a person shall be affected by this section.
   (b) Only in vitro fertilization and assisted reproduction that kills a person shall be affected by this section.

   (d) Spontaneous miscarriages shall not be affected by this section.
   (e) No innocent child created through rape or incest shall be killed for the crime of his or her father.

(3) Definitions. As used in this section,
   (a) “Person” applies to every human being regardless of the method of creation.
   (b) A “human being” is a member of the species homo sapiens at any stage of development.

Dear friend of the innocent, CRTL needs $60,000 now! We have committed to our coalition partners that we will gather 60,000 signatures. This is half of the estimated 120,000 we'll need to assure ballot access in 2012 with 87,000 validated signatures. Of course administering such a statewide operation costs money, and the petition process itself is a tremendous educational operation that reaches hundreds of thousands of people with a plea for the life of the innocent. So, to save a baby, to save a voter, and to save our state, please give toward our crucial $60,000 goal right now!

Please donate now to help CRTL launch Round Three!

State Title Board: See the ballot explanation as set by the state title board.

Planned Parenthood Title Board Challenge: See the motion for rehearing filed by the Planned Parenthood abortion chain.  

Update: Ron Paul also signed the pledge however CRTL stands with those pro-life groups that have rejected Paul's pledge.

Denver, CO: Presidential candidates Rep. Michelle Bachmann, Sen. Rick Santorum, Texas Governor Rick Perry, and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich have all signed the Personhood Pledge to protect unborn life! Here's the Personhood Pledge they signed:

I __________________ proclaim that every human being is created in the image and likeness of God, and is endowed by our Creator with the unalienable right to life.

I stand with President Ronald Reagan in supporting “the unalienable personhood of every American, from the moment of conception until natural death,” and with the Republican Party platform in affirming that I “support a human life amendment to the Constitution, and endorse legislation to make clear that the 14th Amendment protections apply to unborn children.”

I believe that in order to properly protect the right to life of the vulnerable among us, every human being at every stage of development must be recognized as a person possessing the right to life in federal and state laws without exception and without compromise. I recognize that in cases where a mother’s life is at risk, every effort should be made to save the baby’s life as well; leaving the death of an innocent child as an unintended tragedy rather than an intentional killing.

Update: Colorado's 2012 March for Life was an important event as we build toward a personhood victory in Colorado! Hundreds of pro-lifers encouraged one another an greatly appreciated speakers Kevin Swanson, Pastor Ron Fox, Guabe Garcia Jones, Mike Adams, Jo Scott, Doug McBurney, and Pastor Michael Walker. See also the Denver Post report: March for Life backers gather at the Capitol.

The pro-abortion People for the American Way just wrote: "It is remarkable to realize how, in just a few years… the "personhood" movement has gone from a fringe effort that had no support to a central part of the Republican presidential primary."

Come to the March!

As expected only Romney didn't sign the pledge for he has done more harm than Hillary and Obama
by personally instituting homosexual marriage and full-blown "government health-care reform"
with tax-funded abortion on demand. See ProlifeProfiles.com/Romney.

Colorado RTL Members on the Front Lines:

Coke & Campbell's Pull Out: Pepsi Digs In: Debi Vinnedge, executive director of Florida's Children of God for Life, in exposing another abortion horror, has convinced Campbell's Soups to immediately end their taste testing research using aborted baby cells. Coca Cola, though never contacting Vinnedge, also ended their relationship with Senomyx, the biotech company conducting the flavor-enhancing research using an aborted baby's kidney cells to produce "human taste receptors". When new drink ingredients are put in contact with these cells, researchers note whether or not the cells produce certain protein reactions. (The same research can be done ethically using adult stem cells and in other ways.)

Sign the online petition

Pepsi Boycott Begins: Neither Coca Cola nor Campbell's Soups should ever have entered into such grotesque research, but both companies have since done the right thing by ending their partnership with Senomyx' food research on an aborted baby's cells. However, as announced on Denver radio, vice president Leslie Hanks, on behalf of the nation's first right-to-life group, has committed Colorado Right To Life to join Debi Vinnedge's call for a boycott of all Pepsi beverages including: Pepsi & Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Sierra Mist, Gatorade, Propel,  Tropicana Orange Juice, Bottled Lipton ice teas, Bottled Starbucks Frappucinos, and Aquafina Water.

On this Denver radio show, hear also Vinndedge's horrific explanation of how stem-cell researchers harvest organs from babies even while the babies are still alive.

GLENDWOOD SPRING, April 2011 -- Live Action, the youth-led, pro-life activist movement for human rights, has discovered that the United Way is funding Planned Parenthood in Glenwood Srings, Colorado. Garfield County has a federally-qualified medical facility, Mountain Family Health Center, which does not do abortions and it does provide more actual health services than does Planned Parenthood. So the United Way has chosen to fund the Planned Parenthood abortion center instead of the facility better equipped to serve the families and children of the community.
