View Full Version : The official Monday capital thread, carpool info inside and who is going.
Alright, we need some organization for Monday.
Please post ONLY if you are for certain going, if you are willing to drive, how much space you have, where you are coming from and the route so people can meet along the way. If you need a ride, please post and I will create a separate category and hopefully can link up to others that are driving. If not you still have rtd, Lightrail, a cab, private helicopter etc etc.
For those needing a ride, it might be nice to at least toss in some gas money or help with parking as I am sure it will be around $10-15 to park.
I imagine, like the house one that this will be an all day event. So please plan on bringing lunch, snacks, money for such. Maybe a couple people who went can PM me the details about this so it can be posted here to help everyone.
Also, if you have to leave at a certain time, post it up so you aren't leaving people behind or being let behind or forcing others to leave, last time this went into the later part of the evening,
Also, please post what your topic is for each committee if you have the chane to present. We should try to vary things up so it isn't the same constant message other than NO. I would like to talk about the money being spent to bring in new York company, paying to bring in jobs, yet they are paying to get rid of jos and lose as revenue at the same time and ask them each by name why they should be ale to keep their jobs if they vote yes on this.
Dress should be professional. It makes a better impression. Have notes to talk off of, bullet points, practice speaking to your dog or your wife or kids. Have a couple backup points in case yours get covered.
Maybe we can have a meeting spot and time near the Capitol where we can all meet up

Sniper7- from Brighton, room for 4 more

I'm coming from Peyton, eastern El Paso County. I can take up to 3 others with me. I'll be leaving at about 7am.
Let's go, we need more people!
I'm ready, my speech ready but now with this change of time I'm worry about to drive to Denver to receive "I'm apologize but we don't have more space for testify"
I want to explain why gun control don't help anything to the crime and mass killings using my Puerto Rico Example. (Hi-Cap Mags)
Anyone have an idea if the 10 spots for testify are occupied?
If go is From Colorado Springs (close to Saint Francis Hospital) and I have 4 seats available.
I'm going. Can't decide if I'm going to come home and change first, or if I'll just go in my scrubs. Scrubs might add some diversity to the flannel and suits in the room? ;-) Or too cheesy?
I don't know for sure when I'm leaving the house though - can't give anything 100% on carpool info, although I'll make a quick addition to the post when I'm an hour out from leaving.

I'll be there. I plan on attending the Senate Judiciary Hearing on HB 1224, the mag cap bill. FWIW, as I was looking up the location and time, I noticed that the Denver Post is reporting it has been rescheduled from 1:30 PM to 10:30 AM in the Old Supreme Court room. Not sure if that is new information or not. The other thing is that they are limiting hearing time to 90 minutes total per side, with 3 minutes of speaking time. That means 30 speakers pro and con. Might not be easy to make the list if you are not early.
I have comfortable capacity for three leaving from the Windsor / Greeley area, but I am leaving on the early side to drop my kid at Day Care, and I will have to leave the capital by 3:00 PM.
List updated.
Anybody have an idea on a meeting spot. Might be good for a few people to Meet on the south end, others on the north end where this is free parking and then save some $$ carpooling from a close location. I don't want to get any more money to this fucking town than I have to.
Also, what about a meeting spot down at the Capitol. Would be good to meet up with evevryone.
I'll be there but have to hit a job on way home. Hoping to be there 10 to 10:15

I cannot make it down there for testimonies, but if the whole horn blowing thing is a go I will take a long lunch and make a lap or two.
To those going, Thank You.
I'm going to try and make it, got nothing else going on. But the "dress business" part? No can do. But I'll try to be presentable.

Couldn't get out of work today, but as other's have stated, THANK YOU and good luck. Wish I could be there.
FUCK!!!! My 'critical' meetings for today just got cancelled. I could have made it down there.
From someone on the ground please let me know if you think it would be advantageous to come down this afternoon.
I'm out. Left work last night to take wife to hospital, didn't get to bed until late in the morning, and had to pick up a shift for tonight to make up the hours. (She's ok now) I do ok with not much sleep, but in a critical care setting I HAVE to have at least 6 hours or I get dangerously distracted. Sorry, and thank you to all the guys who are going.
All I can get is the House feed. Anyone got a channel thats working?

Listening to the pro person speak for sb197. She stayed with a guy for 7 years while in the abusive relationship. He went to jail and was released within a few hours after an assault. She thinks this law wold have saved her. Totally irrational

Cool, thought so. I'm listening online. What happened when they asked for a show of hands asking if Sheriffs/ or law enforcement had been consulted about the effectiveness of proposed laws. Kinda hard to tell when all you have is audio.

Not a single one of them raised their hand. Hudak said she sent a request to their organization. Apparently they didn't get it
Audio should be up now. Hb1224 is being heard. Senator hodge is getting some facts told to her
I saw shortly ago, a screenshot of a live feed that showed 1229 had passed 3-2. Is that correct, or is it still yet to be decided? If passed, can anyone confirm when the effective date is? Is it July 1, 2013 like HB1224, or is it immediate, another date, etc?

These are all committee votes.. This just means that it will now go to the floor. I would guess they will be voted on by the end of the week.
It passed the committee, still have to go to a full senate vote. We need 1 more to vote no is the full senate.
