Denver November 2004 Election
Govenor Bill Richardson of New Mexico has a political action committee and they've opened a Denver office to do voter registration and mobilization, according to the Denver Post [June 3, 2004, "Dems get boost from the south"]. From the article, "Joaquin Guerra, Denver director of Moving America Forward, said the group aims to register voters and to energize support for Democratic candidates...Colorado, with its young and fast-growing Latino population, has emerged as a battleground state in the presidential election. According to census figures, the Latino population grew from 424,302 in 1990 to 735,601 in 2000." Here's an article about the PAC from HispanicBusiness.com.
Bob Schaffer is taking a position to the right of Peter Coors assailing the brewer for his company's pro-gay policies, according to the Rocky Mountain News [June 3, 2004, "Straight eye for beer guy"]. From the article, "Schaffer's contention about a gay- friendly workplace is accurate, said Michael Brewer, public policy director of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center of Colorado. 'The company was the leader in a trend which has led to half of the Fortune 500 companies offering domestic-partnership benefits and even more, including sexual orientation in their employment non-discrimination policies.' That issue, however, is also the one in which Coors the candidate most clearly diverges from Coors the CEO. Pete Coors supports amending the Constitution to ban same-sex marriage."
