An undercover FTS investigation reveals signature gatherers are lying to voters about the impact of Amendment 46, the Colorado Civil Rights Initiative. The story immediately rippled through Colorado's news media.


Fox 31

Face The State managing editor Brad Jones sat down with Fox 31's Peggy Bunker in the 7 o'clock hour to discuss the story. Melissa Hart, a CU law professor and counsel to the Initiative 82 campaign, issued a statement to the station attacking Amendment 46, but did not address the allegations of misconduct.

At 8:05, Jones joined 600 KCOL Radio's "Mornings with Keith and Gail," who focused on the political environment surrounding the allegations. Listen to the audio below (downloadable version here):


At 9:30, Jones and Jessica Peck Corry, executive director of the Colorado Civil Rights Initiative, visited in-studio with 850 KOA Radio's Mike Rosen. Of interest in this clip is a playback of much of the raw audio from the investigation. Listen to the audio below (downloadable version here):


Face The State and CCRI representatives are also booked on the Jon Caldara show tonight at 10pm on 850 KOA, as well as the Amy Oliver show tomorrow at 9am on 1310 KFKA.
