- I know that this may not be the place to post this, but since I do read this
- group, and have posted here before, I feel it appropriate to make a few
- comments.
-
- I have lived in Colorado for the last 16 years and its a great place to live.
- The people here are some of the friendliest any where and generally this is
- a pretty progressive state. The passing of ammendment 2 was a gross error
- in judgement for the state and there are people like me that are working
- very hard to get the ammendment appealed. We have an element here in the
- state of Colorado that is quite disturbing, it is a concentration of
- fundamentalists that have been attracted to this part of the country. They
- are making life very difficult for the rest of the free-thinkers that live
- here. We have 'Focus on the Family' and the 'New Life Church' that are
- asking for lists of single parent families in the school district that they
- are concentrated in, looking for suspected homosexuals. District 20 is not
- cooperation with them, thank you district 20. I believe that the majority
- of the Colorado population feel much like the people in northen Idaho where
- the headquarters of the Aryan Nations are, they are here, we don't like them,
- but we are not going to give them the attention that they so desperately need.
-
- Please, before you pass judgement on the entire population of Colorado,
- understand that Ground Zero, and Citizens Action Committee are working very
- hard to repeal ammendment 2. Not all of us are homophobic, and most of us
- do enjoy the diverse population that live here in this jewel called Colorado.

- Thanks for listening......
