Dear Friend,

Last week, a citizen journalist broke the story that newly elected 
Colorado Secretary of State Mike Coffman hired an employee to oversee 
and maintain the state's master voter registration database, while 
this same employee had a for profit political firm that sold voter 
lists to partisan political campaigns. (epluribusmedia.org, 5/3/2007)

Coffman immediately denied that he ever knew about his employee's 
"side business" and instead, placed the blame on his employee. (Rocky 
Mountain News, 5/12/2007)

Coffman's very own campaign expenditures from last fall show multiple 
expenditures to this very employee and his political consulting firm. 
These expenditures at can be seen at his own Secretary of State 
website: www.sos.state.co.us/cpf

Specifically, on August 9, 2005, Coloradans for Coffman-Coffman's 
campaign committee-made one of its very first expenditures to this 
exact firm for "software" to be used by Coffman's political campaign 
committee.

And on November 20, 2006, Coffman paid this same firm for political 
consulting.

In fact, Coffman's relationship with this very employee dates back to 
1994. (Denver Post, 5/9/2007) This employee previously worked for 
Coffman in the Treasurer's Office during the same time at which he was 
also running the political consulting firm in question.

We demand an independent investigation into these activities:
