Here's some additional info for you, courtesy of Ballotpedia.org, a new web site that tries to keep up to date on all issues concerning ballot measures -- not an easy goal to achieve, as you know.
In Arkansas, there are two measures currently collecting signatures: one to institute a state lottery and one to prohibit adoptions by cohabitating unmarried couples.
In Michigan, there are nine measures currently circulating. Several are circulating quite actively. At least one has already acknowledged that their effort is stalled and very unlikely to collect sufficient signatures for the ballot.
In Colorado, the state document you are linking to is badly in need of updating. Fifteen new measures have been filed since that document's date, up to a total of 97 filed. And rather than six currently being circulated, there are actually only five, because the Civil Rights Initiative (Ward Connerly's initiative) has completed its petition drive and is already certified for the ballot.
If you go to any of the links above, which list 2008 ballot measures for those states, you'll find further links to details on each measure. We hope you and your visitors will use the Ballotpedia resource, as well as helping us keeping the site up to date. Anyone can edit the site (you just have to register, an easy process), and we encourage people to contribute.
