A political pundit said most of us live life between the 40 yard lines. I'm one of them. Most of the time. Sometimes I'm right of center, sometimes the other way around.

Amendment 46. It's about time.


"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."-Dr. Martin Luther King from his "I have a Dream" speech.

"Shall there be an amendment to the Colorado constitution concerning a prohibition against discrimination by the state, and, in connection therewith, prohibiting the state from discriminating against or granting preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting; allowing exceptions to the prohibition when bona fide qualifications based on sex are reasonably necessary or when action is necessary to establish or maintain eligibility for federal funds; preserving the validity of court orders or consent decrees in effect at the time the measure becomes effective; defining "state" to include the state of Colorado, agencies or departments of the state, public institutions of higher education, political subdivisions, or governmental instrumentalities of or within the state; and making portions of the measure found invalid severable from the remainder of the measure?"-Proposed Amendment 46 to the Colorado Constitution.

Within two weeks it's possible an African American. a Democrat, will be elected President of the United States of America. He was just endorsed by Colin Powell, an African American and former Secretary of State. The current Secretary of State is African American. Both are Republicans.

I believe it's time to end preferences or set asides for any person, regardless of gender, age, the color of their skin or religion.

Vote YES on 46. It's about time. It is time.
