Bleg - Colorado Gun Law

Here's a summary of an e-mail I got from ColoradoRKBA regarding the efforts to recall Senators Morse and Giron. They are fighting the effort very hard, probably suspecting that if it comes down to an election, all other things being equal, they will both lose. Mike Bloomberg, via some PACs is making sure these two have an adequate war chest, but our side is pretty much limited to local contributions.
 This is my little plea for all of you that are subscribed to this 
list to send a little money to the Basic Freedom Defense Fund.    These are the folks who are currently embattled in getting the Colorado Senate President (John Morse) recalled.   Morse's toadies are employing every little legal roadblock to short circuit this legal recall.   There have been more than enough signatures to the recall petitions.   The latest challenge has been denied.

     If you can spare a few bucks, please donate to the cause.   
President Obama is hoping to hold up Colorado (a previously freedom 
oriented state) as a blueprint to further infringe on our Second 
Amendment Right.  We absolutely do not need that kind of reputation.

Please, send whatever you can afford to this movement.   It is worth it.

They take Paypal or credit cards.   Just do it.   Thanks.
The latest challenge referred to above was a complaint that the boilerplate text of the petition for recall did not include language specifically calling for a replacement to be elected.  The A.G. said that electing a replacement was implied and upheld the petitions. The two of them are currently sending out mailers to everyone who signed the petitions asking them to reconsider and ask to have their name removed. Giron's people are going door-to-door and being pretty pushy about it. One got pushy enough to get the cops called who then found he had an outstanding warrant for domestic abuse and carted him off.

I thought the Colorado legislature did away with elections earlier this year. When does the new "voter fraud" law go into effect?

Voting Rights. We believe the right to vote and to have your vote counted is an essential American freedom, and we oppose laws that place unnecessary restrictions on those seeking to exercise that freedom. Democrats have a proud history of standing up for the right to vote. . . Democrats know that voter identification laws can disproportionately burden young voters, people of color, low-income families, people with disabilities, and the elderly, and we refuse to allow the use of political pretexts to disenfranchise American citizens.

2nd Amendment Rights. We believe the right to keep and bear arms is a scary American freedom, and we support laws that place unnecessary restrictions on those seeking to exercise that freedom. Democrats have a proud history of restricting the right to keep and bear arms. . . Democrats know that gun control laws can disproportionately burden young voters, people of color, low-income families, people with disabilities, and the elderly, and we encourage the use of political pretexts to disenfranchise American citizens.

Eh, never mind.

I was just reading Tamara Keel's blog for the first time in over a year, and was reminded of what a bunch of easily butthurt morons gun owners are. Now I remember why I gave up on the gun-rights movement.

The new voting law is in effect now and the recalls will be all-mail-in voting. I will be fascinated to see how that turns out. Recalls are normally low-turnout affairs, but a ballot will be sent to every registered voter in the relevant districts.

Watch for trash scavengers on the days immediately following the mail out.
