The gay rights battle in Colorado is turning into a multi-million dollar production.

Focus on the Family and its political arm has so far given $716,000 to support a ballot measure that would ban gay marriage and oppose a domestic partnership initiative, campaign finance reports show.

The Colorado Springs evangelical group and its political action committee gave $216,000 between July 27 and August 30 to Colorado Family Action Inc., according to campaign reports filed Tuesday.

Earlier in the summer, Focus on the Family and Focus on the Family Action each gave about $250,000 to Colorado Family Action, formed in June with the help of Focus staffer Jim Pfaff. That group plans to mount a media campaign on behalf of Amendment 43 and against Referendum I.

1. At least they can't funnel money into MY STATE

Like they did in 1994. We can't out raise/spend those bastards. (Idaho has an amendment on the ballot this year too)
