- Sorry, it is not true that all major population centers in Colorado
- except Colo Spgs voted Amendment #2 down. The only major population
- centers that voted it down were the City and County of Denver, Boulder,
- Durango, Glenwood Springs, Steamboat Springs, Summit County
- (Breckenridge/Keystone/Frisco), Vail, Aspen, Crested Butte/Gunnison,
- Idaho Springs, Central City, and Telluride. Voting _yes_ on Amendment #2
- were all of suburban Denver, Longmont and Broomfield (Boulder County),
- Larimer County (includes Ft. Collins but I haven't seen the precinct breakout),
- Greeley, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Grand Junction, along with all of eastern
- Colorado and the western boarder counties. This thing passed 48 Colorado
- counties, including 8 of the 10 most populated counties (which have 80%
- of the population), it failed in only 15.
-
- Sometimes it's surprising that it passed by only 6 points.

-
- Martin Luther King, I believe, called for shared sacrifice. The black
- South Africans heeded this call and many white South Africans agreed in
- their call for a South African boycott.
-
- I am asking friends here to try to spend money only in Denver (the city,
- not the 'burbs) and in Boulder, and in the mountain resort towns. I am
- also asking friends that, if they decide to come to Colorado, that they
- do the same. And frankly, the only thing I'll do in El Paso county
- (Colo Spgs) is breathe.
