Missouri Secretary of State Thanks AAAA for its support

On August 14, 2007, Robin Carnahan, the Missouri Secretary of State, wrote to Dr. Robert Ethridge, Co-Chair, AAAA Task Force on Equity in the States, thanking the association for its support of her efforts to honestly describe the so-called civil rights initiative. The letter states:

"Dear Dr. Ethridge:

I read with interest your recent letter to the Kansas City Star regarding the lawsuit over ballot summary language for a proposed constitutional amendment that would ban affirmative action programs.

As Missouri's Secretary of State, it is my job to provide the voters of Missouri with ballot language that is fair, impartial and complies with the law. This is a job I take very seriously because Missourians deserve to be able to clearly understand what they are voting on, regardless of the issue.

I do appreciate your support, and please rest assured I will continue to perform my duties as Missouri's Secretary of State fairly and in accordance with the law.

Best regards,

Sincerely yours,



Robin Carnahan
Secretary of State"

Congratulations to Dr. Ethridge and the AAAA Task Force on Equity in the States for its leadership.
