Signatures sought for ballot initiative limiting affirmative action
Denver - A ballot initiative to ban "preferential treatment" by the state and local governments in Colorado has entered the signature-collection phase, Secretary of State Mike Coffman said Monday.
The proposal would limit affirmative-action efforts, but opponents say it could prohibit health care programs for women.
Proponents Valery Orr and Linda Chavez must collect the signatures of 76,047 registered Colorado voters for the issue to appear on the November 2008 ballot. Those signatures are due to the secretary of state's office by Dec. 20.
