| Colo RTL: please go to your caucus Tuesday night... Colorado Right To Life urges everyone to go to their local precinct caucus (i.e. neighborhood meeting) Tuesday evening at 7 p.m. Things to do while there:
* introduce the two resolutions below;
* volunteer to be elected as delegate to your county convention;
* bring a personhood petition to collect signatures. To vote you must have been registered by Dec. 4, 2007. Click to go to the ColoGOP.org or ColoradoDems.org website to find out where your local caucus is being held. Suggestions: Arrive a bit early (6:50 p.m.). Find out if the group tends toward liberal views (by bringing up the war, education, health care, etc.)
If the group is conservative:
* introduce the two resolutions below to be voted on (bring one or two print outs of each resolution)
* ask to be elected as a delegate to your county convention (to be held between Feb. 20 and March 17)
* if you have a personhood petition ask folks for signatures. If the group is liberal, then only:
* ask to be elected to go to the county caucus (“I’m willing to be a delegate to the county caucus; I support Republican values of small government and low taxes, etc. Or I support Democratic values of equal rights for all people, etc.). The two resolutions appear next, first with Republican wording, then with Democratic wording:
Judiciary Crisis Resolution
WHEREAS, seven of the nine current United States Supreme Court Justices have been nominated by Republican Presidents; and
WHEREAS, Justice Clarence Thomas has written his opinion that he would allow the government to permit the killing of unborn children; and
WHEREAS, Justice Antonin Scalia has publicly stated that he would strike down any law that prohibited abortion in all fifty states; and
WHEREAS, not a single justice on the Republican U.S. Supreme Court defends the personhood and right to life of the unborn; and
WHEREAS, the pro-abortion Roe v. Wade decision was written by a Republican Justice, and
WHEREAS, Roe. v. Wade was passed by a Republican majority on the U.S. Supreme Court, and
WHEREAS sixty percent of the United States federal judiciary has been nominated by Republican presidents; and
WHEREAS the federal judiciary is overwhelming pro-abortion, now, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED by the Colorado Republican Party that we recognize a moral crisis in the federal judiciary, and that our own Colorado Republican Party and our National Republican Party are significantly to blame for America’s judicial moral crisis, and that to address this crisis, the Colorado Republican Party should support personhood and the God-given right to life of the unborn as the strategy toward ending legitimized child killing in America.

Personhood Resolution
WHEREAS, the God-given right to life from our Creator comes not at birth but at our creation; and
WHEREAS, the state of Mississippi unleashed the “legitimized” killing of unborn children on America in 1966 using the brutality of rape as an excuse, and Colorado then extended that state’s crime in 1967 by “legalizing” abortion for rape, incest, and health excuses; and
WHEREAS, in the past twenty seconds, an unborn child in America was killed by a surgical or chemical abortion; and
WHEREAS, in the pro-abortion Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision Republican Justice Harry Blackmun wrote that if "personhood is established, the [abortion] case, of course, collapses, for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed… The [pro-abortion side] conceded as much on reargument"; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the Colorado Republican Party that we support the 2008 personhood amendment sponsored by Colorado for Equal Rights to define "person" to include any human being from the moment of fertilization.
