"Yes on C" Campaign
 In
2005, Colorado’s Referenda C and D were placed on the ballot
in reaction to a decade of budget constraints imposed by a constitutional
amendment passed by right wing activists in the ‘90s. The
outcome of the voting would determine whether the state would have
an additional $3.7 billion to invest in higher education and other
state programs. Predictions were for a razor thin result one way
or the other. Needing a last minute push, supporters of Referenda
C and D called on Grassroots Campaigns staff to generate visibility
on the issue and organize volunteers to knock on thousands of doors
to secure victory. Ultimately, Referendum C—and the state—won
52% - 48%.
