"DENVER - The EXTRA campaign, which is calling on Denver residents to help them post alleged documented extraterrestrial evidence on the city's
website, will have to wait until November."
"Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission ballot initiative had been put on the August 10, primary election ballot, but the Denver Elections Division
posted the change of date on its web site in June."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also from the article:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If passed by voters in November, the seven member commission would post alleged evidence of extraterrestrial visitors on Denver's government web
site.
The commission would be funded by grants, gifts and donations. The commission says no money from the city budget will be used for the website.
Earlier this year, the Mission for Inhibiting Bureaucracy recently registered with the city as a political committee against the Denver
Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission.
The M.I.B argues the commission would cost the city $23,000 a year in incidental costs. " Source:

Never knew the M.I.B. are also known as the "Mission for Inhibiting Bureaucracy"- Although some will be dissapointed that the election is not
going to be held in August as originally scheduled, (reason for the change unknown) November of
2010 is ok too, and will allow more time for backers to explain its purpose.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The process to get it on the ballot has been a slow but steady one:
