Amendment 72 Support and Opposition in a Tie...Your Help Needed!

A new 9News poll released just this morning has Amendment 72 support and opposition in a tie, which means we need to push hard for every vote during these last few days. The opposition continues to distort the issue with millions of dollars of false advertising. We need to reach voters with the facts about Amendment 72: that raising the cigarette tax will reduce smoking, save lives and guarantee funding for veterans and Coloradans most harmed by smoking. The Yes on Amendment 72 Campaign urgently needs your help!

Here's where we need you most in the next few days:
TALK TO VOTERS
Take to the phones and help us speak to voters directly to get our message out. We have phone banks available every evening from now through the election, so sign up for a shift! Time and time again voters tell us that personal contact makes all the difference. Sign up to talk to voters in these last few important days.

SPREAD THE WORD

Contact Garrett to coordinate your sign pick up.

JOIN US ON SOCIAL MEDIA
One of the most important things we can be doing now is talking to our friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors about the importance of passing Amendment 72. Connect with us on social media to get information, graphics, endorsements, articles, and answers to all the questions you or people you know might have.

Amendment 72...Where Will the Money Go?

We wanted to make sure you knew why ClinicNET -- along with more than 100 community, public health, hospitals and veteran organizations -- is endorsing Amendment 72.

By raising the tax on a pack of cigarettes by $1.75 we will drive youth smoking down by 20% and prevent 34,800 youth from starting to smoke.

Contrary to ads funded by Big Tobacco, all of the money raised from Amendment 72 is guaranteed to benefit those most impacted by smoking, and safeguarded so it can't be hijacked for political pet projects or by lobbying from big tobacco.

Vote YES on 72!

The fact is, voting YES on 72 puts tobacco companies on the hook for the trouble they cause in Colorado. And it will benefit Coloradans most affected by smoking, helping them to quit and accelerating research in Colorado to prevent and treat diseases like lung cancer, asthma, and heart disease.
