Backers of Amendment 47, the right-to-work measure, are not giving up hope despite a six-page ad taken out against the proposal in today's Rocky Mountain News and two similar full-page ads in The Denver Post.
"Union bosses, many from out of state, are spending about $25 million to defeat Amendment 47 with misleading attack ads," said Kelley Harp, spokesman for the pro-47 campaign.

A group of volunteers gathered outside the Colorado Auto Dealers Association on the corner of Speer Blvd. and Grant St. in Denver waiving signs urging people to vote yes on Amendment 47. After about 30 minutes a group of ant-47 volunteers showed up across the street waving signs from Protect Colorado's Future, the union-backed coalition opposing right-to-work.
"We know that the pro-freedom message behind Amendment 47 resonates well with Colorado voters, and we will continue to get our message out until the last minute," Harp said.
