Tonight at 7:00 p.m., Tuesday, March 16, hundreds of thousands of registered Democrats and Republicans across Colorado will be gathering simultaneously at their party precinct caucus meetings to participate in the American process of self-governance at the “grass-roots” level. The precinct caucus is a neighborhood meeting where average citizens can participate in the selection of their party candidates for elected office and establishing the ideals espoused by their party.
For those who plan to attend your party precinct caucus meeting tonight to collect Personhood signatures, please arrive at your meeting location no later than 6:30 p.m. in order to find parking and to let your precinct committee person know that you wish to speak on behalf of the Personhood initiative. Be aware that the Personhood initiative has equal standing with any of the candidates who are running for public office, so it is your right as a petition circulator to speak on behalf of the initiative.
During the meeting, time will be allotted for the candidates or their representatives to speak on their behalf. At that time, those circulating voter-referendum petitions may speak on behalf of the initiative. When the opportunity arises during that time, simply rise and state that you are circulating a voter-referendum petition that asks the question:
“Should there be an amendment to the Colorado constitution applying the term ‘person’ to every human-being from the beginning of their biological development?”
Tell them that the amendment is meant to restore the personhood of preborn babies and therefore their constitutional right to life. Tell them the signature deadline is this Thursday and that they may sign your petition after the meeting.
During the meeting, the precinct committee person will ask if anyone has any resolutions to present. When the opportunity arises during that time, simply stand and say:
“I resolve that the (your county) (your party) Party support an amendment to the Colorado constitution applying the term ‘person’ to every human-being from the beginning of their biological development.” (Click the following link to print a copy of that language to take with you to read from and submit to the precinct committee person after you have presented the resolution):

If you have already turned in your Personhood petition, please attend your caucus meeting to present the Personhood resolution.
This is how the process of self-government works! It’s easy and it’s fun, but more importantly, it’s your duty as a Christian and an American citizen to participate in it.
