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?

Didn't Lois Tochtrop carry the concealed carry bill a few years ago?

A quick search online i found an article that says "Tochtrop sponsored concealed- carry legislation in 2002."

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:

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?
