    Default Dems on the fence!!!

    I just saw this on Gun Rights Across America - Colorado's FB Page, thought i'd share it here too. Sorry if it's a repost.

    This just in from Regina Thomson-Run with this now and keep running it.

    Five Senators Could Change Colorado's Future
    Five Senators are Sitting on the Fence
    Please Call and Email Them Now! We just received word from a very reliable source that there are five senators who could be convinced to vote no on the four insidious gun bills. PLEASE be polite; contact these senators with your best arguments. If you know people in these regions, please ask them to email, Facebook, Tweet, and call these folks as well.

    The bills are in on the floor of the Senate today, February 20, 2013. The four bills are a gun-ban on college campuses (specifically conceal carry - 1226), a $10 tax on background checks (1228), outlawing of magazines over fifteen rounds (1224), and finally, but most dastardly, universal background checks (1229), or better know as gun registration.

    The following are the five DEMOCRAT senators who could be convinced to vote against these bills:

    Cheri Jahn (D) SD 20 (Wheat Ridge) - 303-866-4856

    Didn't Lois Tochtrop carry the concealed carry bill a few years ago?
    “Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    My HD 60 Rep, Representative Jim Wilson, has also identified Mary Hodge as another Democrat State Senator who might be persuaded.

    Here is an excerpt from his email response to me:

    According to my Republican Senate colleagues, the Senators that might be persuaded by sending e-mails and letters or making calls would be: Senators Mary Hodge, Cheri Jahn, Andy Kerr, Jeanne Nicholson, Gail Schwartz, and Lois Tochtrop. Below are their email addresses, phone numbers, and Capitol address. Please contact them.

    Very confusing there. Hodge is co-sponsor of 1224. I can't see her voting against "her bill". She's the Fields' counterpart in the Senate when it comes to 1224.

    OP, I'm going to incorporate some of this information into my thread.

    Strange that Mary Hodge is listed, as stated above, she's the Senate sponsor of HB13-1224. Also, another member stated that Andy Kerr had a "F" rating regarding gun rights. I do believe that the key Senators are the remainders: Cheri Jahn, Jeanne Nicholson, Gail Schwartz, & Lois Tochtrop.

    halletts, do you mind PMing me the e-mail you received?
