209 P.3d 1130 (2008)

INDEPENDENCE INSTITUTE, a Colorado non-profit corporation, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Mike COFFMAN, in his official capacity as Secretary of State of the State of Colorado, Appellee.

Colorado Court of Appeals, Div. II.

Certiorari Denied June 1, 2009.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jackson Kelly PLLC, Shayne M. Madsen, Denver, Colorado; William H. Mellor, III, Steven M. Simpson, Arlington, Virginia, for Plaintiff-Appellant.

John W. Suthers, Attorney General, Maurice G. Knaizer, Deputy Attorney General, Monica M. Marquez, Assistant Solicitor General, Denver, Colorado, for Appellee.


Opinion by Judge TAUBMAN.

In this campaign finance law dispute, plaintiff, the Independence Institute, appeals the summary judgment entered by the trial court in favor of Mike Coffman, in his official capacity as Secretary of State of Colorado. Because we conclude the definition of "a major purpose" in article XXVIII, section 2(10), of the Colorado Constitution is not unconstitutionally vague or overbroad on its face, we affirm the trial court's judgment.
