Connerly’s Clan of Circulators Continues to Struggle

California millionaire Ward Connerly and his clan of carpetbaggers aren’t just being turned away in Missouri, they are also receiving the cold shoulder in Arizona. 

The well-funded national front group,“American Civil Rights Coalition/Institute,” that has been trying to ban affirmative action programs state by state, has been having a tough time.   Each day, more and more people are finding out the truth about the group and what they are up to (despite their clever, attractive talking points and preferred ballot language), and are refusing to support the regressive measure.

Connerly’s clan turned in signatures in Colorado, but their underhanded efforts were exposed when allegations of fraud surfaced.   Just a couple weeks ago, they had to pull out of Oklahoma because they couldn’t get enough valid signatures and the ones they did turn in were rife with duplicates.  And last week, we found out that Connerly was desperately calling nationwide for carpetbaggers to “make big bucks” to get the deceptive measure on the ballot in Missouri.   Now Arizona voters are also saying “no” to Connerly’s scam…meaning another of Connerly’s “Super Tuesday 2008” states will likely fall off the ACRI’s national map.

But voters, stay alert.  Connerly’s clan will say and do anything to get you to sign their petition to get on Missouri’s ballot and change our Constitution.  Right wing millionaires from other states have invested a lot to monkey with Missouri’s constitution and they won’t like it if Connerly fails them.  The Clan only has 2 weeks left here before signatures are due, and with a history of fraud in other states, we can’t be too careful.  Don’t sign it.  Spread the word.  And if you witness fraud, report it.
