Think Before You Ink!

From today's Kansas City Star: 

Voters should skip this petition

    Missouri voters could face a tricky situation when they go to the polls Tuesday: They might be asked to sign a petition supporting “civil rights” in the state.
    The trick is that the petition has nothing to do with the civil rights movement. Instead, the petition seeks to place an amendment on the November ballot that would gut state-supported affirmative action programs.
    Supporters of the Missouri Civil Rights Initiative claim they’re just seeking a level playing field for all residents. But they deceptively use the language of Martin Luther King Jr. and the 1960s civil rights movement in an attempt to deny minorities, women and other disadvantaged groups the opportunity to gain equal status in employment and business...

Voters beware!  This group, led by multi-millionaire Californian Ward Connerly, is known for using fraud and lying to voters in other states to get them to sign the petition.  They may ask you to sign a "pro-civil rights" petition that would "end discrimination" or "end unfair hiring practices".

Despite what Connerly's paid circulators tell you, the petition would actually change Missouri's constitution to ban affirmative action programs that are designed to improve opportunities for women and minorities in education and employment.
