- Then why are you preaching to the choir? The amendment passed because
- a powerful group of religious fundamentalists wants to control the thoughts
- and actions of the entire nation. As part of their agenda, they used a lot
- of misinformation to disguise their bigotry and hatred, and a majority
- of the voters of Colorado were not smart enough to realize what was going
- on and voted away the civil rights of a large portion of the citizens of
- your state. It's that simple. We all understand it. It seems that the
- people you need to preach to are the people of Colorado, not the people of
- soc.motss.

- Nothing you say will get people to buy any product from the State of
- Colorado they do not wish to buy, or to visit when they do not wish to
- do so.
