Here are several ways that you can help respond to the passage of Colorado #2:

1. Call 1-800-433-2656. Instead of leaving your name & address to receive a free vacation packet, leave a message stating that you won’t be coming to Colorado for your skiing vacation. Please do mention that you know that the Colorado Tourism board was against #2 (for exactly this reason) but that you can’t, won’t, shouldn’t, couldn’t possibly spend any time in Colorado.

2. Contact Governor Roy Romer to express your outrage.

  Governor Roy Romer
  136 State Capitol Building
  Denver, CO 80203
  (303) 866-2471

Boycott Colorado tourism (skiing) and Colorado-made products, the most common of which are meat and alcohol (Coor’s). If you don’t know it already, Coor’s has a history of supporting fascist politics. They make more than just crappy beer; be sure to boycott their other products (Zima, Killian’s Red, etc.).

Contact the Colorado Tourism Board and the Colorado Association of Commerce and Industry to express your disdain:

  Colorado Office of Tourism
  1625 Broadway Suite 1700
  Denver, CO 80202
  (303) 592-5510

  Colorado Association of Commerce and Industry
  1776 Lincoln Street Suite 1200
  Denver, CO 80203
  (303) 831-7411

5. The plan of action in response to the new amendment is to file a lawsuit. To be added to the list of people on the adjoining amicus brief call the City of Boulder at (303) 441-3090. You need not be a Colorado resident.

6. Contact your Senators and Congressional representatives to tell them that you want them to support the national gay rights bill, which Clinton promised to sign.
