Colorado Republicans organize group to fight for civil unions for gays

Very interesting! Republican activists who say civil unions for gay couples are compatible with their party's core principles have formed a group to help pass civil unions legislation in Colorado this year. 

"I would like gay people who believe in limited government and fiscal responsibility to know they still have a home in the Republican Party," said former state Rep. Rob Witwer (pictured), a Republican who is set to speak this week at an event for the group. 

Earlier this year Witwer wrote an opinion piece for Colorado Peak Politics supporting civil unions.
