Haven't been down there to their offices lately, been BZ with some family stuff and haven't been too mobile of late. Recommend you check out their Facebook page. (I'm not on FB myself.)
I'm feeling a little guilty about that since this is a matter of great importance, so maybe to assuage my guilt I'll drop by another donation tomorrow --temperatures are going to be in the upper 50s with no wind.
Last I heard, they were "on track" with the petition signature-obtaining rate, but I really want to check out whether they're zeroing in on the registered Libertarian voters up there, who, it is generally agreed, drew enough votes away from Hudak's opponent in the last election to let her win. This will allow them to "correct" the results of their voting .
Please note that I'm not against anyone "voting their concience" for a minor "third party" candidate, but in this case, as in some other elections, it apparently drew just enough votes away from a more realistic choice to allow a hyper-leftist to walk away a winner.
A couple of interesting points:
(1) I posted similar threads on several oher gun boards, but on The High Road, in a thread started by someone else, the moderators seemed to get on board with it and are encouraging support for the recall effort:
http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=730865One of the major players in the recall effort has taken part in that discussion (thread) and has contributed significant and informative comments. In some cases on other boards, I get tempted to "bump" the threads, but I'm reluctant to become a pain in the neck by bumping too often.
(2) On a slightly related topic, it would appear that a "rebellion" against the hyper-leftist domination of urban areas in Colorado politics is gaining ground. In 11 of the rural counties which put a "secession from the State of Colorado" measures or referendums on their county ballots, 5 of them passed it --that is, 45%.
Samples from
before the actual election:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/11/05/colorado-s-strange-secession-vote.html http://rt.com/usa/north-colorado-secession-vote-271/Now we know that an actual secession is a near impossibility for many reasons, besides legal ones, but this 45% of counties vote is
very significant in advising the hyper-leftists in the urban areas to watch their steps, lest they get manure on their shoes.
That's that for now,
