Thank you

[SirSai]

Morse is a clown

[ChadAmberg]

My problem is the damn remote control... Takes too long to change channels when his fascist ugly mug or that hag Giron shows up on screen. And they're long commercials too...

[Squeeze]

Morse is an assclown

Fixed it for ya.

[sellersm]

Nice!

I'm all for bashing Morse left and right but I would love to see some pro-Herpin commercials soon. I'm worried people might think Morse has no opposition.

This is a very good point.

I agree. I'll take anything we can get but we do need to support Herpin and also need to highlight more then just the "anti-gun" side of the Morse recall. Lot's of anti gun hippies in district 11 so they need other motivation to vote Morse out.

There definitely needs to be something added that shows there is an actual election and who to vote for. If not people will tune out what's going on. They need to know they actually have something to vote on and who to vote for,

Is RMGO supporting Herpin in this election? I'm looking at his web page and not seeing them listed as an endorsement, just Pikes Peak Firearms Coalition.

Speaking of the PPFC, their monthly meeting is this Thursday with the topic being the Morse recall.

I think there needs to be clarification on this point.

My understanding was that the vote was a yes/no vote to recall.

If the yeses won, THEN the votes for a replacement would be tallied. ie If the recall vote is a yes, Morse is out, period. No running against him at all.


Is this correct?

Answering my own question. http://www.koaa.com/news/unofficial-ballot-language-released-in-senate-district-11-recall-election/#_

The El Paso County Clerk and Recorder's Office has released unofficial ballot language for the September 10 recall election of State Senate President John Morse (D-Colorado Springs.)
Ballots for the recall will be sent to all voters in Senate District 11. The ballot includes two questions. The first asks voters if Senator Morse should be recalled. The second is on the election of a successor if the recall is approved. The ballot also includes a statement from supporters of the recall and supporters of Sen. Morse. Read the unofficial language below.
Statement of Grounds for the Recall of Senator John Morse
Senator John Morse (D- Colorado Springs) has failed to represent the interests of his constituents and has taken direction from national organizations that do not represent the values and liberties of Colorado citizens. Despite having sworn to support and uphold the Constitution of the United States and of Colorado, he has shown contempt for the constitutional liberties of the people he represents.
He proposed legislation that shifted liability to firearms manufacturers and gun owners from violent criminals where it rightfully belonged. His legislation was drafted with significant input from the Brady Campaign, which attempts to subvert the Second Amendment rights of citizens.
He has limited public debate in the Senate and thereby minimized the opinions of Colorado citizens but permitted celebrities from other states to express their opinions on Colorado bills. These actions have shown contempt for firearm manufacturers and for the rights of Colorado citizens. Additionally, it was clearly an abuse of the coercive powers of government. Senator Morse's abuse of his office and his failure to respect the rights and interests of his constituents necessitates his recall from office as the only reasonable and available means to defend the inalienable liberties of the citizens of his district.
Senator John Morse's Statement
Vote NO on the out-of-state billionaires and extremists who are wasting $150,000 of our tax money and spending millions on a negative campaign to recall your twice-elected senator, John Morse. They are doing this because John responsibly voted to require criminal background checks for gun purchases.
In the state senate, his priorities are public safety, creating new jobs, strengthening our economy, and helping our veterans who have defended our freedom.
John Morse has spent most of his life serving our community as a paramedic, police officer and Police Chief. He has firsthand experience treating gunshot victims on the streets of Colorado Springs and has been shot at himself.
He led the fight to crack down on sexual predators and put them in prison where they belong.
Join John in voting NO to protect our kids.
Vote NO on felons and spouse abusers buying guns. Say NO to extremists.
Vote NO on recalling John Morse because it is Better to be Safe than Sorry.
Recall Question
Shall John Morse be recalled from the office of State Senate, District 11?
Yes _____ No _____
Successor Candidates
You must vote yes or no on the recall question in order to vote for a successor. No vote cast will be counted for any candidate for the office unless the voter also voted for or against the recall of the incumbent.
Candidates nominated to succeed John Morse should he be recalled:
(Vote for One)
(01) Bernie Herpin (Republican) (02) Write-in _______________

I'm very, very disappointed that our side mentioned firearms directly. They should have stuck to making this a representation issue, not a gun issue.

I think we lost a few % because of that.

I am very disappointed that he can lie and say it is out-of-state billionaires and extremists that want him recalled when that is exactly who is influencing him.

the NAGR commercial mentions firearms directly but that's understandable because NAGR is a 2A advocacy group. The El Paso Freedom Defense Fund that ran the campaign to collect signatures petitioning for Morse's recall is framing representation as the #1 argument. Morse is not representing his constituents and telling legislators in other districts to ignore their constituents.

[mtnhack]

Hopefully Morse loses a few idiots who do not read the ballot.



They enter the booth thinking Morse / bloomberg is who I want... skim, skim, skim, Morse - Yes CHECK, submit.

This commercial is from our C-4 non-profit, not our federal PAC. Only a PAC can say "Vote for, vote against..."

This is a "lobbying" commercial.
